I think it is important for tutors to show patience and understanding towards students. It can be frustrating when one struggles to understand a new concept and I want to ensure that the student finds enjoyment in their work rather than a sense of dread toward it. Therefore, I highly emphasize an approach of patience to foster safe and enjoyable…

Tutoring is about building a relationship with the student based on trust and respect, making the student feel comfortable enough to ask questions, express their concerns and doubts, which was a key aspect for me when I was learning. Over time, I have learnt that my enthusiasm for the subject is contagious, it kindles a love for the subject in the…

The most important thing is to make sure that the student doesn't feel overwhelmed with their workload, and instead has fun (or at least doesn't detest the time spent) while studying. In this regard, the tutor has to make the content interesting and tailor it to each individual if it's one-on-one. I'm very patient in explaining concepts. I also…

To expose someone to a subject in a manner that is encouraging and complete. There are many people who were irresponsibly exposed to subjects as rigorous as computer science and mathematics, as a consequence of which they start to believe that the subject is impossible, which with the little experience I have, I have never found to be the case.

The most important aspect of a tutor is able to communicate clearly to students. Not only that we need to be knowledgeable, we also need to be able to support with younger students who have hard time solving problems.

Bring them self-confidence. Because as a former student, this is the most important thing I got from my tutor. Students who take tuition often do so because they lack confidence in their grades, or even receive pressure from others such as parents, and so can become agitated or even bored with their studies, and thus engage in self-denial. If you…

Local Reviews

Hannah is a great tutor.
Katie, Russell Lea

Inside Russell LeaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sophie worked on surface area and area of composite shapes, along with strategies for breaking down complex geometry problems.

For Year 10, Lachlan revised algebraic operations including expanding brackets and solving equations using targeted practice from his chosen workbook.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ava focused on calculus applications by practising optimisation (max/min) problems and reviewing differentiation techniques through real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly left revision for major exams until the last minute and missed key Term 1 content, leading to ongoing gaps in algebra that now undermine confidence before finals.

As one tutor observed, "he has not done any work on this revision on his own."

In Standard Maths (senior), another student failed to mention a major assignment part, completing it solo instead of seeking help—missing valuable feedback and support.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student consistently crammed working onto one page without clear layout, making error tracking nearly impossible during complex algebra. These habits created confusion and wasted time during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Russell Lea noticed some encouraging shifts lately. In Year 11, William used to rely on memorising formulas but has started asking more "why" questions and now works through problems using logical steps instead of just rules.

During a recent Year 12 session, Kyle took initiative by focusing revision on his weaker areas for an upcoming exam; he's also begun double-checking his work independently—something he avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who once hesitated to speak up is now regularly explaining how she solves math problems out loud and even volunteered to tackle the hardest question first this week.

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 Russell Lea Public School.
