I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to tailor their approach, provide personalized attention, encourage and motivate, and build a relationship of trust. By adapting their teaching methods to suit the student, identifying areas where the student may be struggling and providing extra help and support where needed,…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating an environment and relationship which they feel both comfortable and willing to learn in. This can begin anywhere from allowing the student to ask any question and getting a respectful answer to being an easily accessible resource for the student so they feel comfortable in…

Science Tutor Woonona, NSW
I think a tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make sure the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to teach the student how to think critically and laterally about the problems they face. My strengths as a tutor are definitely that while I don't push the students too hard I also don't just give them the answers. I give them the tools they need to work out the answers and…

To make a student understand things in an easy way. And be there for the students. I can find one students area of interest and as well as weakness and can concentrate on it.

Help students enjoy studying by being engaging, as studying is often found to be tedious by many, yet is so crucial for a bright and successful future.

Local Reviews

The initial session went well with my grandson and the tutor Ovin was very helpful and informative with my grandson.
Bruno Favretti, Thirroul

Inside ThirroulTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Max worked through solving simultaneous equations and applied the quadratic formula to tackle quadratic word problems.

In Year 10, Chloe focused on logarithms and practiced sketching graphs by hand for visual understanding.

For a younger learner in Year 4, Remi covered multiplication and division basics along with calendar and time questions as part of his homework review.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly mixed up pronumerals in algebra, assuming they matched previous questions—"attention to detail, especially to the pronumerals," noted one tutor—which led to errors that weren't spotted until late in working.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 learner lost track of earlier content after shifting to new topics, making revision for exams difficult and leading to confusion during more complex factorisation.

In Year 7 English, reluctance to complete homework became clear when a student dodged accountability at lesson's end.

For a younger primary student, not showing written working in maths hid mistakes with subtraction and delayed progress on arithmetic foundations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Thirroul recently noticed some big changes: one Year 11 student who used to get stuck on simultaneous equations is now choosing between elimination and substitution confidently, even explaining her reasoning aloud.

In Year 8, a student who once guessed at where he went wrong now pauses to check his work, then solves similar questions correctly without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who felt embarrassed about using finger counting has started doing it openly and with pride—he's flying through perimeter problems that were tricky before and finished all his area questions without any reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Everything seems to be going along quite well at the moment, Lawrence is a nice tutor and Arawyn seems to like him.

Thanks for the email Erica, we have been very happy with Enya, she is making lots of effort to have interesting ways to teacher Jasper  the maths concepts and he is very happy after each session.

Thanks Erica, Jemma & Hunter get along very well I'm pleased to report. I've observed that Jemma has that natural communication talent that all gr8 teachers have i.e. they engage you with their knowledge.

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 Thirroul Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Catholic Primary School.
