The most important thing would be to create a safe space for students, so they will feel welcomed and understood. This can build their confidence as well. Once they feel safe, the students can ask any question and tutor can help them and fill their knowledge gap. My strength would be perseverance, adaptability, and emphaty. I would try and give…

Building the trust between the tutor and the student is what I believe it is most important. I felt that if I didn't build the trust with my students, then no matter how much I try, they will not improve. Therefore, building trust - looking confident and knowing what I am doing. My strength is making sure the students understand the concepts.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is highlight their strengths as a learner. I don't want students to think they need a tutor because they need help and feel badly about their current academic performance. I want students to have control over their learning when it comes to choices, activities, and material. Students should…

Help them grasp the fundamentals of maths, not just the methods of reaching an answer. Then with this it should allow them to solve and understand other questions through derivation from the concepts they do understand. I believe my best strength is that I can understand where someone is coming from when they don't understand a particular branch…

A tutor can clearly identify the strengths and weaknesses of students and guide them accordingly. He should focus on the strengths and minimise their weaknesses. This is very important as it gives a clear direction to the students. This can also help them realise what career path would be good for them. A tutor should also be able to help students…

To me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be firm but patient, and to allow them to solve problems/formulate ideas themselves, not just be fed information to rote-learn. I believe this style of educating enables students to develop their own confidence as they actually understand what they’re doing, not just taking a…

The most important thing is to identify the weak spots and missing links in the understanding of the basics and build up from that to create a permanent improvement rather than a rushed process just to get instant gratification. It's also important to try to build a good learning environment that can become a regular and followable habit for the…

I believe that making students understand the way to answer question is very important. Problem-solving skills are what they really need in the future instead of helping him to solve them. Moreover, to make them enjoy studying the subject is crucial as well. If you hate the subject, you can never do well on it. Providing students with guidance is…

Having had many tutors at university, I've come to realise that a good tutor doesn't simply regurgitate answers from a list of questions.

Inside St PaulsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student William worked through travel graphs and measures of central tendency in the Data topic, then tackled linear equations and Pythagoras' theorem using real-world problems.

For Year 8, Paolo focused on advanced algebra skills including collecting like terms and factorising expressions, alongside practice with perfect square formulas.

Another Year 8 student revised rates and ratios, applying these to exam-style questions, and completed challenging surface area problems for composite solids.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student was hesitant to structure written responses in maths, which led to confusion mid-question and second-guessing of chosen methods—"he needs to take a moment before answering the question."

In Year 11, a student left some homework incomplete or skipped unfamiliar questions, especially when magic squares or negative coefficients appeared; this meant gaps in understanding persisted between lessons.

A Year 4 learner often got distracted by drawing instead of focusing on set problems, requiring frequent redirection.

Meanwhile, a senior biology student showed hesitancy asking questions and reviewing errors after feedback, sometimes missing opportunities for deeper revision.

Recent Achievements

One St Pauls tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions; now, he's actively bringing his own challenging problems to sessions and breaking them down step by step.

A Year 8 student recently made a breakthrough with algebra—after struggling last term, she corrected her own mistakes during practice and moved on to harder equations without prompting.

In primary school, one student who used to rush through maths tasks is now pausing before answering, taking time to plan out his responses more thoughtfully than before.

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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marcellin College.
