Tutors are just not there to help students with their students. Their most important role is to be friends and be able to guide their students in the right direction. If tutors become friends, the students listen and trust them more. Of course this does not mean that students can take tutors for a ride. As a tutor I am hardworking, diligent and…

I would say the most important things for me as a tutor is to support the students and provide them with past experience in terms of exam strategies and study skills and help them gain confidence in the subject. I will make sure their students fully understand the concepts instead of memorizing them. Maths is one of my academic strength as I have…

A tutor has to understand about what kind of learner his/her student is. As the student could be visual learner, a kinesthetic learner, or just an auditory learner, the teacher has to use appropriate teaching methods. I can explain concepts clearly. I can provide numerous real-world examples so that each of the students have understood the…

A tutor should realize that once upon a time, they themselves were a student who must have struggled with certain subjects and also fared well in certain other subjects. And they should realize from their own experience how much of a difference can a good teacher bring into the lives of students. A good tutor will leverage their own experience as…

I believe the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide patient and constant support for them outside of their classroom, and try to clear all their doubts effectively.

Local Reviews

First tutor didn't really suit our needs but this was resolved very quickly and I am now very happy with how things are progressing. If anything, there is probably a little too much communication via email. A monthly newsletter would be better than a series of single subjects as I tend to delete without reading them if I get too many.

Inside RiverviewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student James practised division strategies and worked on adding and subtracting decimals in money problems.

In Year 10, Sarah revised coordinate geometry with a focus on distance and midpoint calculations, then tackled function transformations using graph sketches.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben completed past paper questions involving sequences and series, as well as probability scenarios requiring multi-step reasoning.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student lost nearly half their marks in a major exam due to repeated "silly errors"—often tied to negative signs and missing steps—despite knowing the underlying concepts. As one tutor observed, "almost 40 out of 80 marks lost due to silly errors."

In Year 7, trouble choosing between operations (addition vs. subtraction) slowed progress on worded problems and led to hesitation when faced with multi-step calculations.

Meanwhile, in primary years, short-term memory lapses with times tables (especially 6–8) meant relying on reference charts instead of mental recall during timed drills, adding pressure mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A Riverview tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to make frequent minus sign mistakes in calculus now double-checking his work and catching those slips before finishing.

In Year 8, a student who'd struggled with curve sketching managed to re-apply their understanding of transformations to tackle tougher questions with less hesitation than last month.

Meanwhile, one primary student who could only recall some times tables now completes a full 10x10 grid in under ten minutes—twice as fast as just a few weeks ago.

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 Lane Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Saint Ignatius' College, The Regis Campus.
