Developing a close relationship with students is essential in creating trust with a student. This allows a student to listen and follow your guidance. As a tutor, the most important thing to do is ensure the student is confident with their taught content. This is achieved initially by committing to your students work along-side them. Following…

The most important thing a tutor can do is answer as many questions as the student has, regardless of whether or not it is a good question. In doing so, I believe it is crucial to create a comfortable atmosphere where the student to feels safe and not judged. Another important thing a tutor can do is to encourage independence, giving students a…

A tutor can transform a student's life by helping them become more confident in their academic career, which inevitably improves general confidence. Further, a tutor provides mentoring and coaching as experts in their field which a student can carry with them beyond school, ensuring they are set up for success in their chosen field. I believe a…

Explaining in the simplistic way that a student can understand. If you can not explain it in simple terms it means you do not understand it. The tutor should be patient and help the student understand. I am patient, easy going and quickly understand the problems that students face during their studies. I love Mathematics and Physics so much that I…

A tutor should be able to identify and convey concepts that may be considered as challenging or difficult for the student in a simple and clear manner.

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student can vary, depending on the student. For e.g I had a friend who's outlook on maths was very negative, he had despised it his whole life and every time we'd have maths h would just have a frown upon his face and his mood would change. I assumed this was because he had never really…

I think communication is one of the most crucial skills. I believe every students, somehow, are capable of learning. So even though I don't have extraordinary skills to teach them, they will learn from my explanation. But I have to know where they are at the point of time to know exactly what and how I have to teach. Having an idea of what my…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is remove some of the stigma the student already holds towards the subject.

I think that the most important things that a tutor can do for a student would be to inspire them to love the subjects that they take and study, to be able to inspire them to do their work and really work at it in their own time, such that the tutoring isn't a dependency but a supplement to their success. Once that's achieved, it becomes much…

I think the most important thing for a tutor is to genuinely care about the student. When a student feels supported and encouraged, they're more likely to stay motivated and engaged. It’s not just about explaining concepts—it’s about building confidence, helping them develop problem-solving skills, and making sure they feel comfortable…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there for them not only as a teacher but also as a friend. Different people experience different things on a daily basis, it would be best for the student to know that they are being understood and listened to when they're having a hard time. I think that I am a pretty down-to-earth…

Local Reviews

Emma

Inside SeaforthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Lilly focused on improving her recall and speed with times tables, especially the 4s and 12s, using interactive games and practical strategies.

In Year 9, Amelie worked through simplifying, multiplying, dividing, and rationalising surds, as well as applying volume formulas to compound shapes—sometimes drawing diagrams to visualise problems.

Meanwhile, Jerry in Year 8 tackled linear relationships by practising how to find the equation of a straight line from a table of values and reviewing homework on converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Mathematics, one student consistently lost marks in exams by not showing full working for algebra and geometry questions—"he lost a lot of marks in his exam as he did not show his working out," a tutor noted.

In another instance, a senior Physics student's written layout was flagged: "We will continue to practice good setting out so it becomes a habit."

For HSC-level Maths, one learner repeatedly forgot to bring essential materials like notes, worksheets, or calculators to lessons, which limited hands-on revision and practice. These patterns often left students retracing steps or missing feedback opportunities during crucial assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Seaforth noticed that Jaida, a Year 11 student, has started questioning the strategies behind tricky exam problems instead of just following steps—showing she now understands not just how but why solutions work.

Jerry, in Year 8, recently shifted from rushing through algebra to carefully setting out his working and double-checking each answer, a big change from his earlier mistakes due to skipped steps.

Meanwhile, Clara (Year 12) has begun tackling past exam papers independently and now talks through her approach aloud when stuck, rather than quietly giving up or waiting for answers.

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 Mosman Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Northern Beaches Secondary College Balgowlah Boys Campus.
