Modern History Tutor Strathfield, NSW
As a tutor cannot take exams or do homework for the student, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to have faith in the student's ability and assist the student in every way possible to ensure that the student has faith in their own ability to achieve their goals. Patience, passion and empathy. Patience as it takes time to…

I consider above all listening to the student and what they do and don't understand to be most important, in order so that I as a tutor can direct my attention and teaching where it is needed most. In terms of long-term goals however, I consider instilling the student with diligence, resilience and a mentality to succeed in the future to be the…

A few of the important things a tutor can do for a student is to care, understand and support. Although a tutor may have an incredible breadth of knowledge, it is the way that they deliver this knowledge that is key. Firstly, they need to care and understand the student's level and ability to learn and process information. As much as delivering…

Understanding the issues of a student. I believe that tutors should be able to understand why a student is struggling with something, and help them according to their strengths and weaknesses. A student won't be able to learn with advice that isn't applicable to them, because everyone's capability to learn isn't at the same level. Gaining a…

Modern History Tutor Campsie, NSW
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…

I think the most important things for a tutor to do is to make sure the student understands how to do the question, and not just give them the answer or formula. It is essential for them to utilise all the skills and I want to foster the ability to identify which methods are required for each question. I like to teach in fun ways so hopefully that…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

Inside RookwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Ella worked through exam questions and homework on indices, scientific notation, and significant figures, focusing on applying rules to simplify expressions and convert between forms.

Another Year 9 student, Alex, completed a topic test on indices and scientific notation and was assigned worksheets covering algebra, area and perimeter, as well as volume and surface area for extra practice over the break.

For Year 4, Mia reviewed probability using Venn diagrams along with geometry concepts, while also revising addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division through targeted worksheets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student working on algebra and angles often avoided showing full working, especially when rearranging equations—she jumped straight to the answer, which hid calculation slips with negatives.

In Year 10 financial mathematics, one student leaned heavily on calculator statistics mode but struggled when asked to find quartiles manually or check results without digital aids.

For a Year 4 learner practicing division, incomplete memorization of times tables meant repeated hesitations and disrupted progress in multi-step problems.

Across these sessions, skipping careful layout or relying on shortcuts led to confusion during more complex revision tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rookwood recently noticed a Year 8 student who used to avoid multiplication is now confidently reciting both the 10 and 11 times tables from memory, even volunteering to try harder questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who previously struggled with financial mathematics managed to solve straight-line and declining-balance depreciation problems independently after initially needing step-by-step guidance.

In another session, a Year 12 student who was hesitant about networks worked through minimum spanning tree and maximum-flow/minimum-cut theorem questions unaided, choosing the right approach for each scenario on their own initiative.

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 Lidcombe Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Homebush West Public School.
