Physics Tutor Longueville, NSW
The most important thing a physics tutor can do is recognise their students ability level and mould their teaching to that level. This insures that the kids do not feel out of depth, but also they are learning new things every session. I am a very social and friendly person making it easy for me to build strong rapport with the students, and as a…

I believe a physics tutor is not only a teacher but also a mentor. They are someone for the student to look up to, but also there to help the student develop their understanding through friendship and camaraderie. As they are separate from both school and home settings, they can offer an external and unique perspective on both academic and…

I think it is important for the tutor to influence the student to be more enthusiastic towards his studies. It is easier to learn stuff with focus and the right attitude. The tutor has to try and make sessions interesting. Also, at the end of the day, the student must not be dependent on the tutor. As a physics tutor, you know you have succeeded…

In the context of Science and Mathematics, the key aspect is HOW to think. Science requires imagination, innovation as well as an excellent recall and grasp of modern scientific understanding.

Explain concepts well and set a good foundation for their learning. Additionally, the most important thing a physics tutor should do is encourage and teach them how to learn by themselves. Instead of only teaching the necessary information, they should try to teach students how to have fun while learning in order for them to be self-motivated, a…

The most important thing by far, especially that I have found over the years, is to have a presence that shows genuine concern for the student's understanding.

A tutor is more than a teacher. A teachers job is to give a student a base level of understanding whereas a physics tutor can build on that and go further. This allows students to revisit sections that the teacher brushed over or to build on sections they seemingly understand to ensure they can answer a greater range of question types. Along with…

I think communication is one of the most crucial skills. I believe every students, somehow, are capable of learning.

But I have to know where they are at the point of time to know exactly what and how I have to teach. Having an idea of what my…

I believe the most important things a physics tutor can do for a student can vary, depending on the student.

I assumed this was because he had never…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is help the student understand a topic.

A tutor needs to inspire the students in such a way that they know what their efforts will make them accomplish.

Sparking interest in studies is not easy at times…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sophie is responding to Rounak very well. Rounak is a great teacher and Sophie gets along well with him. We're all very happy!

It is going very well. Katie is a truly lovely person. Cassandra has responded well. It is going as well as it can. Cassandra is naturally avoidant of the subjects that she is being tutored in, currently with Katie we are doing one week on Maths and the following week on English and so on. Cassandra engages in the tutoring, and does seem to learn, despite her being sure that she doesn't need a tutor. My partner and myself are very busy at the moment and don't have time to tutor her ourselves, besides, she doesn't like to listen to us, whereas, she will sit beautifully with the tutor. So it really works in that way.

Thanks for your note. It seems to be off to s good start. We appreciate maths coaching and look forward to seeing Louisa and India work together.

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.
