Most important thing I believe a tutor can do for a student is to influence the student to become more ambitious and help them learn things quickly and in a more smarter way. Ability to understand each student's calibre and teach according to it in a simpler and friendly…

Understanding the student is the most primary thing. Without understanding the student you can explain him an entire Library and the student will still be an illiterate or at worse develop fear or disinterest in learning. Connection, understanding, acknowledging and tailoring my approach towards each individual who's different from the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand how they learn and ensure the student feels comfortable. A tutor should be the person a student can be open with if they don't understand something without feeling embarrassed or dumb. By understanding how the student learns both the tutor and the student can make the most of the…

Modern History Tutor Elermore Vale, NSW
I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…

Inside The HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily focused on mastering division facts and multiples through practical exercises.

For Year 9, Jack reviewed financial mathematics topics including depreciation methods and calculating shares with dividend yield, working through exam-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah consolidated her understanding of the quadratic formula and practiced completing the square to solve quadratic equations, using worked examples to build confidence for assessments.

Recent Challenges

Several process habits stood out across different year levels.

In Year 11 Financial Mathematics, one student relied heavily on formulas—"Liz tends to just plug numbers in rather than understand the context," noted a tutor—making it difficult when questions changed style or required real-world reasoning.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student working on algebra showed reluctance to attempt "hard-looking" problems and often defaulted to "I don't know" before trying, leading her to avoid deeper problem solving and backchecking.

Another senior student's working out was mostly done mentally; without writing steps down, errors went unnoticed, especially under exam pressure. This sometimes left marks unclaimed despite strong content knowledge.

Recent Achievements

Danika took the initiative to identify and organise her questions before lessons—a shift from earlier sessions where she'd hesitate to speak up.

Liz has become much more willing to challenge her tutor's answers during tricky financial maths topics. Last week she confidently explained her reasoning for z-score problems, even teaching back some concepts she'd struggled with before.

Lara used new time-blocking strategies to plan study sessions and independently completed a challenging linear equations problem without help by the end of her lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Flynn is going well with his tutor. We have had 2 sessions and they have been productive. Thanks for your service.

Finn is responding well to Anthony's tutoring, thank you. Anthony is kind, knowledgeable and has a lovely manner. Finn is feeling more confident and we will be continuing with Anthony's weekly tutorials.

We are so happy and impressed with Pariese. She has already made a great rapport with Charlie, which was our initial concern. She is both both professional and engaging with an obvious passion for maths. She has given us feedback relating to Charlie's learning style and is active in finding strategies to suit him. The fact that he looks forward to his lesson, is a testament in itself. She is always punctual and happy to have a brief at the end of each session. I have spoken to Pariese about Charlie needing long term tutoring, to which she agreed.

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 Newcastle Region Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Newcastle East Public School.
