Biology Tutor Dulwich Hill, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be loving. Actually caring for the student's academic success will not only make them more likely to succeed, but it will help them go beyond to reaching a scholarly level. My two leading strengths are that I know how to teach to make difficult subjects more easy to understand and I am…

Show commitment, whether its through showing up on time, or taking some of your spare time at home to mark their work. Also to support and encourage the individual to achiever their very best.

i think the best thing a tutor can do in order to properly teach a student is for the tutor to try and put their level of thinking at the same level as the student in order to communicate effective information that is more likely to be retained by the student. i think my biggest strength is adapting to each students needs and way of learning. i…

Ultimately, a tutor must teach his/her student to be able to rely on themselves and think autonomously when problem solving i.e. not to be afraid of trial and error. I would say my strengths are attributes such as patience with the student (repetition when necessary), determination in getting the message across, and a friendly attitude towards all…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do is to work with a student from a student's perspective. It is exactly the reason why group-studying is so effective as everyone is on the same wavelength. A tutor's job is to be able to "read" into the student's mind and solve-problems by comfortably adjusting and improvising…

Local Reviews

My daughter and I are both very happy with Thibault. She has only had one session with him but said he was good at explaining and he was able to answer her questions. He was also encouraging, punctual and very polite. We are very happy to continue with him.
Patricia

Inside RiverwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily worked through negative and fractional indices as well as reviewing measurement concepts like area and volume in preparation for an upcoming topic test.

For Year 10, Jacob focused on revising functions—specifically cubic curves—and practiced curve sketching using assignment-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 3 student Raeed explored subtraction strategies by counting backwards and compared numbers up to the thousands using greater than and less than symbols.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student tackling trigonometry struggled to select the correct rule in multi-step problems; "highlighting key words helped, but remembering formulas was still a hurdle."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student repeatedly skipped writing working for algebra, which led to confusion and small errors that took extra time to trace.

For one Year 7 student, forgetting to bring notes meant missing connections between lessons—she found herself unable to apply previous strategies when new worded questions appeared.

After setbacks on past paper questions, a Year 10 learner hesitated to attempt unfamiliar problems without guidance, leading to slower progress and shaken confidence.

Recent Achievements

A Riverwood tutor noticed Liam, a Year 12 student, now tackles advanced trigonometry questions without any help—he used to need frequent hints but recently completed several HSC problems solo and could explain each step.

Charlotte in Year 11 has started breaking down complex multi-step financial maths tasks on her own, using strategies like "talking aloud" and back-checking her work instead of rushing or skipping steps as she did before. She is now working independently.

Meanwhile, Matthew in Year 3 is not just solving worded problems faster; he's begun identifying which operation to use himself rather than waiting for prompts from the tutor. This new independence stands out.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are more than happy with Kancelot. He and Rohan seem to get along well, he is punctual and polite , and is also helping Rohan improve his maths skills.

Yes, everything is going well and Avishag is GREAT!  She is clear, direct, and no-nonsense, which is exactly what Is needs (can't get away with anything), and yet this is balanced with underlying kindness (motivated to do well).  It's not something I can describe well in words, but Isabelle definitely responds well to Avi's method.  She has improved to passing the most recent test (from massively nowhere near passing), and I can see her confidence in math has improved, too.  She was shocked to suddenly find herself helping some of her friends work through questions that they couldn't understand, and enjoyed the feeling, so that is an achievement!  Yes, she still has a long way to go, but we're off to a good start.  It's so good to have Avi reinforce methods of organization and skills that don't register for Is when I mention them, too!  We are both very, very grateful to have Avi help Is through this.

We are extremely happy with Estephanie.   She has managed to hit exactly the right note.   We are just looking for Isabel to understand some basic principles and Estaphie is managing this with patience and skill.    I cannot speak highly enough of Estaphanie.

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 Riverwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
