Maths Tutor Scotland Island, NSW
Being a good listener and adjusting to what I think is best for them for me is very important. Some students may be fully motivated to do the best they can and I can therefore assign them with homework, whilst also ensuring they don't feel either overwhelmed or not receiving enough, which therefore requires communication. The next important thing…

Listen. I think it is pivotal for a maths tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential. Determination. When teaching a student something for the first time, it can be very difficult for them to understand a concept. So, as a tutor,…

The most important thing a maths tutor can do is to provide the student with deep understanding of concepts so that the student can approach future challenges with the confidence that they can work through it on their own, even if it is unfamiliar.

One main thing I realised was important for a maths tutor is to not expect the student to learn/understand things in the exact same way you do. Being open to hearing how a student learns best and being able to vary the teaching style is vital. I think I am quite adaptable and can explain singular concepts in many different ways depending on which…

I believe that the most important thing that a maths tutor can do for a student is listen to/watch for what they're struggling with most, and focus on that.

I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

I think a maths tutor, or any teacher, can honestly make or break a subject. As a tutor, I want to be able to make a student fall in love with what they are teaching them, rather than them seeing going to tutoring as a chore. I find my biggest strength to be that I get along well with younger kids and other people in general. I am very patient,…

One of the most important things a maths tutor can do for a student is give them a personalised teaching experience.

Being able to recognise and connect to the child will open up numerous learning pathways to allow them to reach their full…

A tutor should also make their student feel comfortable, creating a sense of trust between them and allowing for more effective tutoring sessions.…

I think the most important thing is persistence. If the tutor isn’t motivated to help the student, the student won’t be motivated either.

In my view, the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to serve as a catalyst for independent learning. My primary goal is not simply to help them complete the current assignment, but to equip them with the tools, study habits, and critical thinking strategies necessary to succeed on their own long after our sessions end. This…

1. Help them towards their study milestones so they have an unhindered path towards any given career of choice. 3. Understand something rather than memorising it.

Foster self-confidence in their subject areas, as the main hurdle many students face, is self-doubt in their ability, which causes them to give up on their courses.

Local Reviews

Annalise feels that she has benefited enormously from her first two sessions with her tutor, Muqeet. We both find him to be a thoughtful, empathetic and very encouraging young man. Annalise reported feeling more confident to answer questions in class and even helping her classmate get a correct answer after only her first session with Muqeet.
Angela

Inside Scotland IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lucy worked through rates, ratios, and introductory trigonometry using real-life word problems.

In Year 11, Daniel focused on financial mathematics topics including simple and compound interest as well as depreciation calculations with sample HSC questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily practiced advanced exam techniques by tackling past papers covering the normal distribution and annuities alongside targeted revision of continuous probability distributions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student faced issues with exam-style questions when relying on notes instead of practicing unaided; "practice under timed conditions" revealed persistent errors that were only noticed after time ran out.

In Year 11, messy working and skipping over hints in complex algebra led to lost marks—one tutor observed, "he missed details hidden in the question stimulus."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student tackling normal distributions avoided harder variants, focusing revision on familiar types rather than diverse exam problems. This meant confidence dropped sharply when unexpected formats appeared during practice assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Scotland Island tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling with algebra earlier in the term, was able to solve complex equations independently without prompting.

Another win came from a Year 10 session where the student arrived already prepared with specific questions—something they'd hesitated to do before—which meant the lesson focused directly on what they found most challenging.

At primary level, a younger student quickly remembered and applied content from last week's session, working through new problems independently for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the report. We are very happy with Kim's approach and way of teaching . Yejeena is very responsive to her and enjoying her learning. She has become more confident in school and starting to put her hand up to answer questions when her teacher asks questions from the the class. It seems to us that , Kim also is enjoying working with Yejee and very happy with Yejee's attitude toward her extra study hours after school.

Both Ashleigh and myself are very happy with Duncan. Ashleigh is already feeling much more confident and I believe that she will progress steadily.

Tutoring with Robert is going extremely well. Robert has an excellent way of explaining concepts and Tara and Ethan are already feeling more confident with their maths.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke's Grammar School, Bayview Campus.
