I believe that teaching students a healthy mentality towards work and study is essential. No student is stupid and bad marks don't reflect idiocy - instead, they reflect a willingness to work hard. Anyone with a true desire to do well and the motivation to put that desire into action will work hard and do well - we need to emphasise this to…

I think the most important thing as a tutor is to be patient and adaptable. Every student learns differently, so being able to adjust teaching methods to fit individual needs is key. It's also important to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Leadership Teaching…

I believe being able to relate and support your student is the most fundamental aspect of tutoring, as it allows you to effectively gauge where they are struggling and excelling. As not every student can be treated in the same manner, this understanding is quintessential in ensuring that one's student is enjoying tutoring and growing in knowledge…

When I tutor students, I tend not to follow the same pattern or process of learning for every kid. I believe tutor can play huge role in a student’s life when it comes to teaching them how to fish rather than serving the fish. The ability to remain calm and composed in any situation I think is my biggest strength. Having to deal with kids who…

I think it's a question of what a tutor can BE rather than do. I found in my experience that I always responded to teachers who were enthusiastic and portrayed a genuine care for the learning of the student. In a metaphorical sense, the tutor must think like a student in an empathetic way rather than merely be a one way stream of instruction. If a…

Finding out whether a student is a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner is important. By discovering how the student learns best, I believe he will be able to reach his true potential.

Listen. Students often feel overwhelmed and are unable to understand content because they don’t feel they are truly being listened to - something I relate to as a former student, and can easily combat by employing listening as paramount.

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.

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.

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.
