The most important things are to provide guidance and nurture their motivation so that they can accomplish their educational goals. The challenges that the students face with a subject can only be overcome by the students. Tutors can assist by explaining the concepts and providing examples, but the students' motivation is necessary as only then…

Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to become their friend. Children are sometimes uncomfortable with teachers and are unable to fully explain where they struggle. However, if we are able to get them to open up we would be able to better assist them in improving their grades. A student who is comfortable in the…

A tutor is responsible for easing a child's worry and to make sure that they can do whatever possible to help their student become less anxious and more confident in their work.

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Firstly identifying the student's various strengths and areas of improvement is very significant to give a general idea of which topics to focus/skills on the most whilst teaching them. Another key area that a tutor should investigate further is the student's most effective way of learning specific concepts e.g. visual, written, auditory etc. A …

Being a mentor and a role model for a student is more important than any academic knowledge that a tutor can teach.

Being able to personally build friendships with the…

An important facet of being a tutor is to be able to explain a particular concept effectively so that a student can understand it. This understanding is of utmost importance as it ensures that the student can correctly answer questions and also retain that mathematical concept in their memory.

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe and supportive space where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Support. Providing a great amount of support and motivation is crucial for a student’s education path. Without this, a lack of drive would occur which is detrimental to their learning, ultimately affecting their peers around them which acts like the domino effect.

Inside St MarysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella worked on addition and subtraction with trading as well as two-digit multiplication.

For Year 10, Daniel tackled trigonometry topics including Pythagoras's theorem and using trigonometric ratios to find unknown sides in right-angled triangles, practicing with step-by-step diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah focused on financial mathematics—specifically simple and compound interest calculations—and reviewed loan repayments within real-life problem scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, as noted, "is far behind and not ready for the exam," with time management flagged as a key issue—missed homework and last-minute preparation have left her unable to attempt full past papers in one sitting.

In Year 8 Mathematics, a student avoided copying rules into her exercise book, leading to gaps when trying to apply formulas for geometry.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student struggled with reading clocks and would frequently forget to bring completed worksheets, making it difficult to track progress across weeks. The missed lessons added further inconsistency in building foundational skills.

Recent Achievements

One St Marys tutoring session saw a Year 11 student quickly identify and correct her own mistake in statistics, something she hesitated to do before.

In a Year 9 maths lesson, after several weeks of guided practice, the student began solving trigonometry problems independently instead of waiting for prompts.

A younger primary learner who used to avoid homework started bringing her textbook each week and now completes tasks without reminders. The last session ended with her finishing all assigned questions by herself for the first time.

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