A tutor should be patient and friendly to re-discuss any topic number of times to make their students understand until they don`t feel to move to the next topic, a tutor should be a good leader who can motivate students in the right direction. I create a friendly atmosphere where students feel free to discuss their doubts without any hesitation, I…

I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

Tutor Warnervale, NSW
A tutor must be able to reinforce the foundational theories and concepts taught in school and from there guide their student through the ways in which this information can connect to a wide range of questions. Exposure to a myriad of problems improves a student's ability to recognise how their own knowledge connects to a solution and thus their…

The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess, just…

It is important that students are able to express what they struggle with without the fear of being judged or humiliated. They need to know that just because they're struggling with something does not…

The most important thing I can do for a student is to be patient. Patience is key in facilitating the process of learning as it removes the anxiety inducing pressure of expectation and allows the student to solely focus on the content at hand. Patience also allows the student to rationalise concepts at their own pace. This has the effect of deeply…

The most important thing a tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on being asked…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only understand where the student is at within their academics, but in their personal life as well. A student's schooling can be very stressful and there is a lot of pressure from others. My role would be to make sure that I am not pressuring them, and that we reward even the…

Struggling with math problems can often feel demoralising and futile, especially when peers “get it†but you don’t.

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

Sophie is amazing. She's developed a great relationship with my 13-year-old daughter. It's been a joy to watch my child's confidence grow with Sophie's calm approach, patience and support. My daughter isn't stressed about maths anymore and enjoys working through challenges with Sophie. Wish I'd done this sooner!

Inside Tacoma SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Simran worked on solving simultaneous equations and practiced applying algebraic principles to tackle inequalities.

In Year 9, Sienna focused on graphing directly proportional relationships and explored further work with surds and ratios using visual examples.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Ruby learned about the place value of digits in large numbers and built confidence with long addition through step-by-step written practice.

Recent Challenges

The Year 10 student struggled to recall steps after eagerly working through problems—"he tends to forget the steps after eagerly doing them," a tutor noted—which made it hard to consolidate simultaneous equations and inequalities before time ran out.

In Year 8, messy or unclear written work meant sign errors slipped by during multi-step equations, so extra time was spent tracing mistakes rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated when 'carrying the one' in long addition, often erasing answers and starting over instead of fixing small errors directly. This slowed confidence and made checking work stressful.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tacoma South noticed Josh, a high school student, finally worked out simultaneous equations using substitution after struggling with algebra for some time—he even identified where he'd gone wrong before.

In another session, a Year 10 student showed cleaner, more organised working when factorising and now solves equations without hesitation, a big shift from his earlier confusion.

Meanwhile, Ruby in Year 3 figured out on her own why multiplication works the same way regardless of order and confidently multiplied several numbers together without help.

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