One of the most important things I can do for a student, I believe, is to be dedicated to meeting their needs and being able to adapt to suit them. As a tutor i believe one of my main strengths are my ability to teach a broad range of topics and concepts for a broad spectrum of students. I am a patient and dedicated individual and I find that this…

I believe that a tutor can provide valuable help and support for their student. Since they have already done the coursework, they are able to assist their student with the same work. Furthermore, since they have personally been through the experiences similar to that of their student, tutors are able to understand the difficulties experienced by…

The role of a tutor in a student's education is both significant and multifaceted. To truly make a positive impact, a tutor should prioritize several key aspects: Individualized Approach: Recognizing that each student has unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles, a tutor should tailor their approach to cater to the specific needs of…

A tutor has to be able to accomodate to each students need individually. It's important to understand the needs and habits of each student as each person learns uniquely. This, in turn, provides them with the best possible learning experience which maximises potential and results. - Good Communicator - Vast Knowledge of subjects - Can make…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them achieve their full potentials. This can include getting good test results, gaining confidence in what they can achieve, a change in attitude to math etc. They can act as a positive role model for students by encouraging them to take the initiative to improve in their…

Patience. Learning new skills in maths can sometimes be quite tricky and confusing so I think adequate time should be spent learning the basics as this is very important later down the track. Organisation, as a tutor I feel organisation from both the student and the teacher is important so the most amount of learning can…

I feel that the most important things a tutor can do for a student, especially a student in high school is to reduce stress. Math tests and exams often, if not always stress students, however tutors I feel can reduce this stress by helping the student with questions and concepts, thus boosting their confidence and reducing their stress to allow…

As a Tutor, one can make the lessons easily understandable to the students as there is personal attention given. Hence personal teaching is the best part of tutoring where in the student feels comfortable and their minds are open to grasp things which are taught. My strength is communication. I can talk to students and make them comfortable which…

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

quote

I would love to offer some feedback on Derek. I discussed this response with Jaidan last night and he requested that I let you know that he thinks Derek is AWESOME. From my observations,Derek quickly created a great rapport with Jaidan which is important for effective communication. I have queried Jaidan after each session and feel that he is benefitting greatly from Derek's input. He is feeling more confident and very comfortable to source support from Derek. I could not ask for more at this stage so thank you and more importantly please thank Derek on my behalf.

For now, we won't be continuing but we haven't ruled it out for the future.  We were very happy with your service and Jade is a beautiful person!  She has helped Keegan with her confidence in Maths and helped improve her grade this year.  We postponed tutoring at the end of term 1 because Jade had covered as much as she could before introducing new work, which we didn't want to do until it came up in school.  Therefore, we had a break to see how Keegan went, and she's had no problems thus far. If any problems pop up this term, I plan to get in contact with you and Jade ASAP!

Aiden is really happy with Faraz. He felt a bit awkward the first week but the interactions were much better the second week. Aiden finds it very useful because he needs guided revision (it's not necessarily about learning the content). Definitely a good investment!

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 Ruth Faulkner Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rivervale Primary School.
