Besides teaching concepts and helping students solve problems, I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to motivate students. As I believe, unlike school teachers, tutors can give students individualised attention. They have more time with their students to talk about what challenges they are facing about subjects or reflect on where…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build the student's confidence and independence. It's not just about solving problems for them, but teaching them how to think critically so they can solve future problems on their own. A tutor should also create a safe and encouraging environment where the students feel comfortable asking…

What do you consider to be the most important things a tutor can do for a student? Making sure that all of my student's questions are answered before the end of the lesson is one of the most important things in tutoring in my opinion. Asking question is the best way of learning and therefore answering question is the best way of teaching.…

For me, the most important thing to do as a tutor is not only help teach class content, but share study skills, time management, note taking tips, and other ways to manage the Year 12 workload. Year 12 is not purely about knowledge, but handling pressure and staying on top of work, and I hope to communicate my experience in this. Throughout my…

I feel my biggest strength would be my…

Motivating them is probably the most important, as students can be brilliant but fall behind quickly if they do not have the drive to improve. I think that a tutor also needs to have multiple different ways of approaching a question as a student might not be able to grasp a particular one. Furthermore, I believe that generically working through…

I would consider skills such as organisation, critical thinking and problem solving strategies to be the most valuable takeaways for the student, especially since the skills will always be useful long-term. I also think a tutor should be able to build up their student's growth mindset, giving the students the mentality and confidence to grow even…

Try different methods as everyone is different, find something that is tailored for the student to help them excel more.

I believe that the tutor shouldn't be the one always in control and leading the session. Especially in early sessions, I believe the tutor should encourage the student to ask many questions of them, to grasp what they know and how they interpret different topics. Tutoring almost becomes useless if the tutor is the one constantly talking because…

I think the most important thing for a tutor is the ability to allow the student to improve exponentially whilst enjoying what they are learning, because from my experience, once I have understood and learnt a concept, applying and solving problems become much easier and fun in a way.

Zane is finally grasping concepts that he always found confusing in class. Alan has been very patient with Zane, as there is quite a bit of work to do. Zane would not have received this personal time in class, due to time, disruptions etc.. Thank goodness we are starting now before NAPLAN in 2 weeks and highschool in 2019.

Inside South CoogeeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla worked on fractions and telling time using Mathletics activities, with extra practice on word problems.

Year 10 student Dharsshen tackled a challenging essay question focused on structuring arguments and refining thesis statements, as well as reviewing his completed essay for clarity and coherence.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Amira prepared for her HSC English exam by revising thesis development and practicing short-answer responses worth 20 marks to strengthen analytical skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 English student, under pressure from school commitments, began "rushing his work," which led to persistent errors in grammar and punctuation.

In creative writing for Year 8, a reluctance to add detail meant stories lacked vivid description—one tutor observed missing commas where new sentences should have started, making the writing harder to follow.

A Year 5 student struggled with homework page formatting; unclear layouts made it difficult to identify main points or corrections.

In poetry revision for Year 10, another avoided reviewing unfamiliar texts, risking gaps in exam readiness by focusing only on preferred material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Coogee noticed that a Year 10 student, Dharsshen, who used to struggle with structuring essays, now independently spots argument flaws and recently incorporated teacher feedback for the first time.

In Year 11 English, Mohit moved from vague thesis statements to writing a much stronger argument and even achieved a notable 16/20 on an essay—he previously lost more marks due to unclear structure.

Meanwhile, Miyah (Year 4) shifted from guessing answers in maths to using pen-and-paper strategies and talking through her process out loud until she found the right solution herself.

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 Lionel Bowen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South Coogee Public School.
