I believe instilling confidence in students, and not belittling students are the most important things a tutor can do. A lot of students who struggle at Mathematics get demotivated when the work gets harder and harder. Bringing back the difficulty in questions will start building confidence in students. Constant praising when students get a…

It is also important that the tutor pays more attention to and builds rapport with the student as this differentiates a teacher from a tutor who teaches one-to-one.

Learning can be spilt into 3 parts. First being simply understanding the content without worrying about exams. Second being revising and coming up questions possible from the content and getting a deeper understanding. Third is looking at the exam questions and how to form the answer to get maximum marks. I am aware of different styles of learning…

A tutor should always remember that their purpose is to help the student understand and love the subject and not do the work for them. They should try to help the student gain passion and curiosity for the concepts they learn. This will help them study and ace the subject. Furthermore, I believe that the most important thing a tutor should have…

My goal as a tutor is not to "teach" a subject; my goal is to help the student learn how to study and find their own path so that they can do it on their own without needing a tutor in the future. My main objective is for my students to eventually no longer need me. I always encourage my students to think about what they are learning, why they are…

From my experience, the most impactful lesson a tutor can teach a student is how to research and study on his own in the long run. As Greg Reid once said, "A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes dreams come true." Therefore, I firmly believe that although…

Building confidence is the most important thing a tutor can possibly do for a student.

What do you consider to be the most important things a tutor can do for a student? Making sure that all of my student's questions are answered before the end of the lesson is one of the most important things in tutoring in my opinion. Asking question is the best way of learning and therefore answering question is the best way of teaching.…

I give clear and concise explanations and have…

I believe that making students understand the way to answer question is very important. Problem-solving skills are what they really need in the future instead of helping him to solve them. Moreover, to make them enjoy studying the subject is crucial as well. If you hate the subject, you can never do well on it. Providing students with guidance is…

A tutor's job isn't to be a second teacher's to be a bridge. The most important thing a tutor can do is build confidence by turning complexity into something manageable. That means creating an environment where mistakes aren't failures but stepping stones, where questions are welcomed, and where the student feels supported enough to try, think,…

A tutor can clearly identify the strengths and weaknesses of students and guide them accordingly. He should focus on the strengths and minimise their weaknesses. This is very important as it gives a clear direction to the students. This can also help them realise what career path would be good for them. A tutor should also be able to help students…

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.

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.
