Keirvi
Tutor Randwick, NSW
"I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes. Learning is often about trial and error, and if a student is too nervous to speak up, they miss out on the chance to grow. Beyond just helping them understand the content, a…

Zainab
Tutor Silverwater, NSW
I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a space that they feel comfortable to be challenged and to learn in. It’s one thing to just help with answering questions but to encourage and motivate students to take on the difficult concepts even when they're working on their own, this is crucial and shows growth.…

Alexander
Tutor Rockdale, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is be supportive. All behaviour is belief driven, if a tutor convinces a pupil that he can do it, he will. I believe I am calm, patient, persevering, and supportive. Especially when it comes to perseverance, I will not be deterred if a student doesn't originally understand my explanations as, if I…

Alexander
Tutor Queens Park, NSW
To me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be firm but patient, and to allow them to solve problems/formulate ideas themselves, not just be fed information to rote-learn. I believe this style of educating enables students to develop their own confidence as they actually understand what they’re doing, not just taking a…

Tutor Camperdown, NSW
Ultimately, a tutor only has so much time each week with a student and so I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students discover their own affinity for a particular subject and inspire them to carry out their own research. To this end, it is crucial to welcome curiosity and not to limit their imagination by restricting them…

MinJae (Albert)
Tutor Pyrmont, NSW
The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills.
The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to make the student feel at ease with the subject at hand, especially to the point where they begin their own individual methods of inquiry into the subject. A student should never feel under pressure to perform in ways that make them feel discouraged about their own abilities. The consequence of that is…

The most important part of tutoring is to make sure the student grasps a concept entirely and doesn't have any gaps in their knowledge before moving onto new topics. It is essential for students to fully comprehend a difficult concept as this will help them remember it better, gain confidence in the topic and lower their stress. Additionally,…

Local Reviews
Inside Rodd PointTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Lachlan focused on introductory algebra, working through a custom booklet and practicing foundational equation-solving.
In Year 10, Sophie revised financial mathematics—including error in measurement—by tackling last-minute practice questions she selected ahead of an exam.
For Year 11, Alex concentrated on curve sketching with the derivative and worked through global maximum and minimum problems to strengthen understanding for upcoming assessments.
Recent Challenges
A Year 11 student missed revision work from Term 1 and, as a tutor noted, "has not done any work on this revision on his own," limiting his readiness for upcoming exams.
In Year 12 Standard Maths, another student failed to mention an assignment until after completion—missing the chance for targeted support.
Messy working was evident with one Year 10: "crams working onto one page," making errors harder to spot and fix.
Several senior students repeatedly forgot key formulae or relied too heavily on memorisation rather than understanding, especially in trigonometry and algebra; one admitted, "I don't use the formula sheet much."
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Rodd Point recently noticed a big shift in one Year 11 student, who started asking for help and clarifying questions about trig rather than just memorising steps—something he used to avoid.
In Year 10, another student began tackling algebra homework independently before sessions, showing initiative that hadn't been there last term.
Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 6 finally managed to complete all their calculation-based problems without needing hints after previously hesitating on worded maths questions.
Last week, one high schooler finished an entire practice test within the time limit and got nearly every answer correct.
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 Five Dock Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dobroyd Point Public School.
