I have had many experiences with teachers and tutors during my HSC years and most of them would end up explaining the questions. This was an issue for me as I might end up understanding that questions but I wouldn't be able to understand other questions as I didn't understand the concept. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is help…

A tutor has to recognise the unique abilities of a student. This includes personalises the learning to the student by incorporating the student's strengths and weaknesses, looking to minimise such weaknesses. A tutor also has to create a safe learning environment which incorporates planning, accountability and positive reinforcement focused around…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is patience and adaptability. Each student has a unique way of learning. Therefore as a tutor, it is important to recognise that we need to be patient and adapt, as students require different amounts of practice and time to fully grasp a concept. My greatest strengths as a tutor would most…

It is vital to keep the students motivated and keen to learn, as well as to ensure that each student is receiving the right tuition that benefits them. Not all students learn the same way, so it is key to be able to adapt a teaching style to suit the student. I know how to motivate and instigate curiosity. As the eldest in the family I have a lot…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is not to just be able to teach students the contents that they are supposed to convey and call it a day, but also teach them the creative ways they can go about solving problems presented to them, as there are sometimes more than one way to solve a single problem. I feel…

Listen and adjust a lesson/ activity to the student. Every student is different and thus they learn differently. Tutors need to be able to cater for any disabilities, difficulties or concerns the student has and teach accordingly. Listening to the student regarding their needs, opinions, and goals for the session is important as you can best…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for students is reinforce them of their ability to do well on a subject if they put in the effort. Some concepts are hard to grasp at first, and requires endurance on part of the students for them to succeed.

A tutor who has recently taken on the challenge of a certain course would know the hard and easy parts of a certain course. He or she would have made mistakes, thus this allows them to pass on their knowledge and experience.

Take the class at their pace, be it faster or slower, and adapt to suit their needs. A tutor needs to be able to fill the gaps left by teachers in school to effectively help students.

Inside The PondsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jayden practised 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication and long division, using step-by-step worked examples.

In Year 8, Emily reviewed Pythagoras' theorem basics and solved questions on algebra, clarifying any tricky school topics along the way.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Arjun focused on trigonometry and functions, tackling exercises to build confidence with key formulas and their application.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student in mathematics relied heavily on mental calculations for times tables, often avoiding written working—"as a tutor noted, 'he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.'" This led to repeated mistakes and made error tracing difficult.

In Year 11 exam prep, one student struggled with revising unfamiliar or integrated question formats, tending to stick to familiar problem types rather than practicing a variety.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to attempt complex analogue time questions, preferring digital ones instead.

When faced with worded problems, another high schooler missed key details by not underlining instructions; confusion followed when extra steps were needed.

Recent Achievements

In The Ponds, Erica, a Year 10 student, has moved from waiting for hints to independently working through challenging financial math questions. She is now even choosing different solution methods on her own.

Stephanie, in Year 8, used to hesitate with algebra but is now tackling congruency tests for triangles and negative numbers without prompting. She's started showing all her working out instead of skipping steps.

Meanwhile, Damien in Year 4 switched from guessing multiplication answers to practising his times tables daily. He can now handle double-digit addition questions by himself without any reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sam's first session with Wahidah went really well. He really liked her and responded well to her teaching.

Riria had a great first session with Derek. Riria found Derek to be patient and clear with his communication making it easier for Riria to get her head around what is being asked of her in regards to her physics lessons and assessments.

Cameron has been enjoying the time spent with Ryan. They get along well. Cameron is gaining confidence, both in doing his maths work and asking for 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 Stanhope Garden Library/ Dennis Johnson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Riverbank Public School.
