I think that it's really important to be a good listener so that you can use feedback from students to improve your teaching. Not everyone learns in the same way so it's really important to work with each student to find the learning tehniques that work best for them. It's also important to recognise that each student could prefer different…

Keeping them interested in the subject, making them believe that it's not just about marks, but understanding. Making them to fall in love with the subject. Doing that subject should make them feel happy, not anxious. I focus more on logic and intuition, rather than memorizing. Being someone who used to fail regularly before becoming one of the…

Even though I have no experience in the field as of yet I think themost important thing a tutor can do for their students is give them time and space to openly ask their questions and clarify any doubts. So being open for questions and allocating time for his/her students is a key aspect of teaching in any level. Understanding the mindset of…

1. Be patient to students. Sometimes tutor need to explain a concept or questions multiple times to students until they understand it. So patience is very important. 2.

If I can make a student begin thinking more about the subject than just a grade to obtain, I would have felt that I made one more curious person. Curiosity is the root of knowledge in my opinion, and it would be the seed that I can share with the students that I engage with. I believe, they would lie in science, especially with regard to my…

I think the most important things a tutor should do for a student is to encourage the student to do better rather than to aim for perfect grades. Every improvement, regardless of the extent, is an improvement and it should be appreciated. A tutor should also prepare for the lessons before hand and have a lesson goal/outline to keep on track.

Amidst the competitive pressure of institutions on this generation's children, one of the vital things a tutor can do for a fellow student is to provide a safe space for them to be able to express themselves, i.e allowing them to ask questions and understand the weaknesses of their students. That way they will be enthusiastic to learn from their…

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be. I want to take away the feeling of fear when students enter a class they think they're not good in. Another thing is teaching a student to be an autodidact. I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

Inside RivervaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla focused on times tables recall and worked through measurement activities using practical examples.

For Year 8, Jack revised Pythagoras' theorem and tackled trigonometry questions to find unknown angles.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Zoe prepared for her maths test by practicing simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, then drew linear graphs to consolidate understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student, when revising simultaneous equations, "relied on a calculator for basic steps," making it harder to spot small errors in working.

In Year 10 Chemistry, notes were incomplete and key cycle steps were missing—meaning last-minute revision was less effective before assessments.

A senior student practicing circle proofs often left side labels unmatched, which caused confusion during exams.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student struggled to convert mm to cm due to skipping over the reference table provided in her workbook.

When confidence dropped after setbacks, another high schooler hesitated to attempt harder worded problems alone.

Recent Achievements

One Rivervale tutor noticed a Year 11 student who'd previously been hesitant with trigonometry now tackling exam-style questions without help, even choosing the correct rule for triangle similarity on her own.

Another high school student moved from confusion about algebraic rearrangement to solving for x independently and quickly, showing real initiative by checking her answers before asking for feedback.

In Year 7, a student who often guessed at graphing tasks last term is now confidently identifying bar graph features and explaining them aloud—last session she labelled all axes accurately without any prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

We are very happy with the way James is tutoring Julian. Julian is responding well and is comfortable around him being of similar age and James hasn't long completed his HSC. James is passionate about tutoring and is going out of his way to bring out the best in him and to reach his full potential.

We are very happy with how things are going. Luke is a great tutor. He explains things in a way Hannah can understand and if she doesnt he is very patient and tries it another way till she does. Thank you

Zoe is great, Dylan really likes her and feels comfortable around her which is great. as you said, we wont be seeing actual result right away but I think its going to work :)

Local Spots for Tutoring
