I think it is also very important for the student to know that if they ever have any difficulties they will be able to receive…

To be able to adapt to the student's needs. A classroom style of teaching uses a one size fits all approach of teaching students, but the most important role of a tutor is to vary his methods of teaching to help the student understand the information in their own way. Also, being a guide for the student is very important, as giving the answer to…

The first thing is showing them achieving anything is possible no mater how hard the task. Even if at first it seems impossible, by not giving up on them it can teach the student to always try and have faith in their abilities. The second thing is setting them up for success.

On top of this, tutors should provide advice on any aspect of a student's life, more than just the subject(s) they're receiving tutoring…

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

Since working with David she's improved out of sight and is now first in her year. She understands questions better & as a result her marks have improved in other subjects across the board.

Nathan's marks have improved considerably over the past few months and i have noticed that he has a new-found confidence. He has discovered that if he applies himself he will succeed.

Thank you. I agree, Matt appears to be all that you say he is and my daughter was happy with the first session. She already understands some things better.

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.
