The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to encourage them to be self-sufficient - I'm a firm believer that anybody can study by themselves, and that tutors are there to help the student bounce ideas off and help break down hard to digest pieces of education. I believe my main strength as a tutor is that for every student, I try to…

Students may need some help, so the tutor role is vital to guide them and simplify the process for them to thrive. Patience and kindness is great quality, and the education process is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe it is vital for the tutor to be patience. To maintain different capabilities, I can think fast to try various method of…

Being able to understand your student is the most important thing to me. You should be able to pinpoint what they're struggling with, keep up with what they need, and make sure to throw in some life advice as well! For younger students (and all students in general!), being a safe space for them to confidently ask questions is my main goal, I want…

I think as a tutor, the most important that one can do for a student is guide and mentor. Guidance is very essential in a student's life. It is also to be taken care of that guidance does not turn into spoon-feeding. My strengths as a tutor are: patience, positive mindset, kindness, realizing that every student is different, time…

A tutor should be there to unlock the true ability of a student in my opinion.

A great tutor does more than just teach—they empower, guide, and inspire students to reach their full potential. A tutor’s goal isn’t just to help with immediate challenges but to equip students with the skills to solve future problems on their own. Many students, especially women and minorities in STEM, face imposter syndrome. A great tutor…

Rachel, Alexandria

Inside RedfernTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lily worked through perimeter and multiplication skills, using both traditional exercises and interactive math games to boost engagement.

For Year 7, James focused on algebraic expressions including expanding like terms as well as powers, practicing with step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Priya developed her understanding of probability concepts and direct versus indirect proportionality, applying these ideas to real-world scenarios for clearer comprehension.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, difficulty was observed with setting out clear lines of reasoning when tackling probability problems; as one tutor put it, "she knows the subject well, but has trouble putting together the line of reasoning."

In a Year 7 lesson on fractions and division by decimals, written working sometimes became messy or incomplete, making it harder to identify where confusion arose.

A senior student avoided showing all steps in algebraic expansions during revision, which led to repeated sign errors and slower progress.

When reviewing multiplication tables (Years 3–5), some learners relied heavily on verbal recall instead of written practice, slowing mastery.

Recent Achievements

A Redfern tutor noticed a Year 11 student who initially struggled to explain her reasoning in probability is now confidently breaking problems into logical steps before solving them.

In Year 8, Sara recently showed real initiative during algebra—she now asks for extra practice with combining like terms, instead of waiting for direction, which marks a big shift from her earlier passivity.

Meanwhile, Lily in primary school has started double-checking her answers on complex fraction and area questions without being prompted; just last week she chose to rework a perimeter problem until every step matched the question's requirements.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are happy with Maree, she is a hands on tutor which seems to be working well with my daughter.

It's all going very well.  Billy really likes her and said she is clarifying a lot for him. I'm conscious that they are rushing through things at school so have told Mithra to take her time and not move on to new areas until she is satisfied he grasps it.

Monique is very happy.  In just two lessons, she has found a huge difference.  I commend Katy as Monique finds her very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going.  I am pleased as I too can see the huge difference in Monique's confidence. Thank you for recommending Katy, she is a marvel.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Waterloo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Inner Sydney High School.
