Have the ability to adapt to the students needs. I understand that I may need to prioritise a students upcoming exam content over the schedule that we have discussed. Or respond to and mark drafts that I receive at the late hours of the night before an assignment is due. It’s imperative that I tend to the students needs and ensure…

They can help explain and work on this material in much greater depth and at a much more deliberative pace than is possible in a normal class At this stage I have no experience as a tutor but my strengths I believe will be my knowledge of the subjects I teach skill at analyzing and explaining…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to communicate effectively and enjoyment. Without clear communication, it is unlikely the student will grasp the concepts properly and would only lead to a lack of confidence in their ability. Without enjoyment, the student is likely to feel miserable learning about the subject, and would…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make students feel supported and understood, explain concepts in a clear and approachable way, and help build their confidence over time. A tutor should listen to how a student learns, adapt their approach, and create a comfortable space where students feel confident asking questions and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to empathise. To learn about why the student is having difficulties and as such, problem solving and troubleshooting, taking each individual factor into account. This helps to create a nurturing and safe environment for students, and when not in constant fear of being wrong, students can…

Helping understanding topics and key areas is important, however for me, giving students the confidence to approach new topics with a 'can-do' attitude helps them in wider areas of their life and increases their self belief. Unleashing the potential that they may not realise they have. I consider myself a strong tutor due to my qualities of being…

Inside RuseTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Oliver worked through algebraic equations, focusing on simplifying and expanding expressions, and revisited past exam questions to strengthen his understanding of minus signs in equations.

For Year 8, the session with John covered perimeter calculations for composite shapes and involved estimating and converting between different measurement units like meters and centimeters.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 lesson with Emily focused on mastering long division alongside developing confidence with decimal place value using targeted practice exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly relied on mental maths in algebra and fractions, skipping written working—this led to errors with negatives and simplification. As a tutor noted, "she needs to show working out during questions to reduce silly mistakes."

In Year 7, one student left homework incomplete and rarely reviewed feedback; missed practice meant concepts like long division never quite stuck.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to write answers for fear of getting them wrong, erasing attempts instead of using feedback—so progress slowed when new spelling or times tables appeared. A single missed step often turned into lost marks or confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Ruse tutor noticed a big change in Oliver, a high schooler who used to hesitate with algebra—he now works through equation problems without pausing and even picked out his own exam mistakes before the tutor stepped in.

In another session, Misheel, also in high school, flagged tricky homework questions on her own instead of skipping them and completed almost everything else accurately.

A Year 4 student who once struggled to follow text now reads entire book chapters aloud with only a few missed words and placed fractions correctly on number lines by himself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes, everything is going well and Avishag is GREAT!  She is clear, direct, and no-nonsense, which is exactly what Is needs (can't get away with anything), and yet this is balanced with underlying kindness (motivated to do well).  It's not something I can describe well in words, but Isabelle definitely responds well to Avi's method.  She has improved to passing the most recent test (from massively nowhere near passing), and I can see her confidence in math has improved, too.  She was shocked to suddenly find herself helping some of her friends work through questions that they couldn't understand, and enjoyed the feeling, so that is an achievement!  Yes, she still has a long way to go, but we're off to a good start.  It's so good to have Avi reinforce methods of organization and skills that don't register for Is when I mention them, too!  We are both very, very grateful to have Avi help Is through this.

We are extremely happy with Estephanie.   She has managed to hit exactly the right note.   We are just looking for Isabel to understand some basic principles and Estaphie is managing this with patience and skill.    I cannot speak highly enough of Estaphanie.

I am happy with the way things have started up.  Peter has already had an improvement in his Maths test result and I am hoping that this will also be the case with his recent SAC.

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