It depends on individual student's needs, while mindset and thinking style are the keys. Therefore, in terms of student's interest and personality, the fundamental expertise and the developments of logical or critical thinking are what I really want to do. Guiding and well-organized. Guiding is the most crucial for education. The massive or…

In my view, the most important aspect of being a tutor is to provide personalised guidance and support to each student. Every student has their own set of strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. A tutor should identify these individual characteristics and adapt their teaching methods to meet the specific needs of each student. Additionally,…

The most important things I for a tutor to do is understand and listen to the student. Not listening can be one of the most frustrating things as a student, where the tutor doesn't understand what they actually need help with, and wastes time going over the wrong content in the wrong way. Being able to understand the student, and then properly…

I believe that it is a tutor's responsibility to be accountable for a student's academic performance. As such, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are: - maintaining a flexible teaching approach to tailor a student's study to their capabilities, learning style and circumstances - encouraging and inspiring engagement with the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student gain confidence in areas they might not have previously. I believe a tutor can help students understand that they are capable of learning whatever they put their minds to. I am a very patient tutor and have a holistic approach to teaching. I try and find the…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and prompt critical thinking. It is hard to know what is best for a student unless you are constantly listening to them and understanding their reasoning. Get the student to understand why they came to that conclusion, and present new ideas to them to expand their thinking or…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand how they learn and help them in a way that will help them understand.

To me, two critical aspects stand out. Firstly, it is crucial to grasp the concepts being taught and discern their relevance to the contemporary industry. Students must understand how the skills they acquire can be applied in the current world scenario. Secondly, recognizing that students are the future, it is essential to lay a solid…

Inside SumnerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Lucas tackled binomial probability and discrete random variables, focusing on applications to real-world scenarios and confidence intervals.

For Year 11, Emma practiced integration by substitution and solved problems involving probability density functions, including finding the equation of a function and calculating probabilities.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex worked through differentiation of natural logarithms using the chain rule and applied the log change of base formula while rearranging exponential equations for assignments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was asked to write out every calculation but often defaulted to mental maths—"needs to not do it in his head"—which led to missing steps, especially in algebra.

In Year 11 Chemistry, homework was left incomplete, making it difficult to reinforce new concepts like distinguishing alcohols from carboxylic acids or correctly drawing esters.

One Year 12 Maths student struggled with organizing written work for problem-solving tasks; as a tutor noted, "needs to improve communication and setting out of certain questions (chain rule)," which resulted in unclear justifications during test reviews and lost marks on multi-step solutions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sumner noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to correct her mistakes now actively reviews her working and pinpoints where she's gone wrong, particularly during binomial probability tasks.

In another session, a Year 9 student who struggled with setting up diagrams for trigonometry questions began drawing them independently, which let him tackle worded problems with less prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student has moved from guessing ratios to confidently dividing by 10, 100, and 1000 and checking his answers before moving on—he finished all the practice division problems without needing hints.

What they say about our tutoring

Emily has truly benefited from tutoring and I would not hesitate to recommend your service or to come back again if we felt Emily needed further help.

l'm very happy!! Bridget has learnt so much, the tutor is such a beautitful person and an amazing teacher

We are more than happy with James. He has made a strong impression on both Jack and Sam. Both boys are keen and eager to please James. He has a lovely quiet demeanor and is constantly praising the boys and clearing explaining the steps as they are learning.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jamboree Heights State School.
