In my opinion, a tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them. Its important to be constructive and patient especially with the ones that take time to grasp topics. One must keep instructions clear and always strive to empower the child by focusing on their strengths. Engage them instead of lecturing…

Something that sets me apart from many other tutors is that I’m very relatable, something which I think is very important to a student. Personally, I’ve known in the past what it’s like to sometimes struggle academically, however, experience has shown me that part of it what it takes to succeed is a great work ethic and an awesome mentor.…

I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to tackle…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

Inside RostrevorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava worked on percentages, focusing on calculating percentage increases and decreases in real-world scenarios, and also practiced dividing large numbers using long division.

In Year 10, Doyle tackled solving simultaneous equations by isolating variables and substituting between equations, as well as factorising quadratics using methods like splitting the middle term.

For Year 11, Brea caught up on derivatives by reviewing the foundational rules of differentiation and practicing with basic calculus problems missed during recent school absences.

Recent Challenges

Repeatedly left their assignment unfinished, as noted: "Needed to finish assignment." This led to session time being used for catch-up rather than deeper problem-solving.

In Year 11 Chemistry, confusion with converting grams to moles slowed progress through multi-step stoichiometry problems—without regular homework practice, these gaps persisted.

One Year 8 student skipped assigned revision questions; instead of progressing, the session was spent re-explaining concepts already covered ("did not do the questions I assigned for homework").

For a Year 5 learner, messy working during long division meant frequent step-tracking errors and lost confidence when mistakes appeared mid-calculation.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rostrevor recently noticed Doyle, a Year 11 student, moving from confusion with factorising quadratics to confidently applying the quadratic formula on his own—just weeks ago he struggled to set up these problems without help.

In another session, a Year 10 student showed new independence by completing homework efficiently and accurately, rather than leaving questions blank or waiting for guidance.

Meanwhile, Ava in Year 4 started using multiplication as a strategy to check her division answers; she'd previously guessed when unsure but now double-checks her work and finishes calculations with minimal prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes we are happy with Kavindu. Emily seems more confident with one on one home tutoring than class tutoring. thanks

He's here now, drinking miso and walking Em through Pythagoras (poor sole). It's all good.  She appreciates this time and enjoys his learning insights so that's a winner.

Emma and I are very happy with Philip as a tutor.  All is going very well.  Phil seems very reliable and conscientious and offers appropriate support but allows Emma to work the problems herself which she appreciates.

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 Campbelltown Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stradbroke School.
