An exceptional tutor would ensure their students have an in-depth understanding of concepts by altering their teaching methods to best complement the student's learning capacity and to the material being taught. Although this is a personal preference, I also believe that, as a tutor, being available for students to ask questions outside of the…

The most important thing as a tutor is to make sure your student understands the subject and enjoy it. And does not get bored and lose interest.

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is serve as a secondary teacher/mentor to a school teacher. As school teachers have to focus on a large class (usually around 30 students), they are unable to address the needs of each student. As each student has their own struggles and needs, an exterior tutor provides…

When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

The most important thing a tutor can provide for a student, is a sense of understanding. Being met with sensitivity is imperative to a student's growth.

I think the simple act of compassion and kindness is crucial for students, as tutors must facilitate a healthy and nurturing environment for their students to learn.

Inside Sandy PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Athena worked on multiplication facts and applied them to word problems, as well as reading and converting time between digital and analogue formats.

In Year 7, Zara focused on decimal addition and subtraction alongside revising factors and multiples using number puzzles.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Tom practiced operations with fractions—including converting improper to mixed numbers—and explored order of operations through targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 6 student working on perimeter often missed sides without numbers, as a tutor observed: "she relied heavily on the calculator, even though her manual column addition is strong."

In Year 9 surface area lessons, another struggled to double-check if each face was counted, sometimes skipping this when using a calculator for speed.

For a Year 4 multiplication task, showing carrying and borrowing steps in written work was inconsistent—answers were right but not always reproducible.

In several senior grades (Years 10–11), forgetting to write units or cube/square symbols led to confusion reviewing volume and area solutions later.

Recent Achievements

One Sandy Point tutor saw a big change in a Year 9 student who'd struggled to solve for x—she's now confidently merging like terms and working through equations with much less hesitation.

A Year 7 student who used to avoid tricky word problems is now identifying the right strategies just from reading the question, especially picking up on clue words like "difference" or "how much."

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously rushed through addition is finally using the carrying process correctly for harder sums, slowing down to double-check her work before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have been extremely happy with Thanh. Bella really likes her and feels very comfortable with the tutoring so far.

We very happy with tutor Sean. He is a very good tutor. Melissa is happy Sean is her tutor.

I am very impressed with Nikki and the way in which your company operates. Emily had a session with Nikki on Monday in preparation for her algebra topic test on Tuesday and she received 72%!! She would normally get in the 40s for this type of test maybe less for algebra. We are reaping the rewards of Nikki's tutoring already. Very pleased indeed and Nikki is also a great role model for Emily in the way she presents herself and her attitude to life in general. Thank you for your exceptional service.

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