I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless. My strengths as a tutor are to challenge the pupils to think abstractly about language and harness the true power it possesses. I love hearing the pupil's own…

My understanding of a tutors role is not to do the students work, yet to uncover their natural ability so that they may proceed to increase their academic results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is not only provide advice but draw out the best of people. I have been told I am a 'people person', I previously worked in a busy…

Modern History Tutor Hazelwood Park, SA
The most important way in which I can aid my students is by providing them with the capability to master new content on their own. Alongside this, I can provide advice from the position of having completed with which they are grappling, allowing me to better aid them with my 'inside knowledge' of the curriculum. I believe my main strengths as a…

A good tutor should firstly ensure that the student has a solid grasp of the foundational knowledge underpinning their subject, before moving on to teach more complex concepts. This is because oftentimes a subject's more advanced concepts will draw heavily from assumed foundational knowledge. Additionally a tutor can instill confidence in a…

Make them realise that they have the ability to acheive, and helping them unlock that in themselves.

The tutor should just not stick to the knowledge that is available in the textbooks but should make learning a fun experience for the students by giving relevant examples .

The most important things a tutor can do for a student extend beyond academic instruction. While helping students grasp challenging concepts is crucial, equally vital is fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment. A tutor should adapt teaching methods to suit the student's unique learning style, provide constructive feedback, and…

Its going very well with Emmad. He has been able to give Aidan more confidence and he is now doing more exercises/problems on his own. We are happy with Emmad's manner and abilities.

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.
