I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student how to approach problems and questions on their own, such that they are not dependent on anyone when they encounter a difficult problem in the future. For example, to teach them how to look at a problem in many different ways, to reverse the problem and work…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach material in such a fashion that it makes the subject enjoyable for a tutee. This will allow the student to be more positive and motivated to working harder for a subject, but more importantly, it reframes their mindset to see the work they must do as less of a burden and more as a…

A student seeks a tutor in the hopes of improving their academia and however big or small these improvements are, a tutor most ensure that the student learns. The tutor is providing a paid service and the student has the expectations that they will improve. So it is within the tutor's responsibility to achieve these expectations as reasonably as…

I consider one the most important things is to be really attentive towards the students needs and questions. The last thing you'd want is to have a tutor who doesn't listen or play close attention, and consequently struggle to explain the concepts in an effective way for the student to understand. You need to be patient and attend to the needs of…

As simple as it may sound, the most crucial duty a tutor must do is teach and not just teach the simple topic, but to face it with a vast amount of understanding and various methods.

I believe the role of the tutor is the prepare the student for assessments and future content, as having a solid base is very important, specifically in maths where future content is built upon what is previously taught. For students to feel more comfortable stepping into an exam comes from familiarising them with what to expect and how to…

One of the important things a math tutor can do for students is constantly testing them with the knowledge they have already absorbed in the past. Questions need to be changed, but concepts need to be practiced repetitively. The other important thing tutor can do to help students is organizing notes. Math contains a sphere of knowledge (formula/…

Inside ThornleighTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tahlia focused on calculating percentage increase and decrease, including real-life applications like mark up, cost price, and discounts, completing extra questions from her test book for practice.

Year 9 student Malissa worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and revisited the topic of surface area with targeted review based on her recent test feedback.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Hayes practiced division with remainders and applied BODMAS rules to fraction problems, before touching on area calculations for squares, rectangles, and circles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for linear regression relied heavily on calculator methods without showing working, which made it harder to spot small errors or check understanding.

In a Year 8 English session, Ryan received feedback on his writing but did not act on it before the next lesson; as noted, he did not put the feedback into practice yet, so similar issues reappeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student sometimes mixed up units and tens columns in multiplication, leading to off-track answers. This meant time was spent correcting basics instead of advancing to new skills.

Recent Achievements

A Thornleigh tutor recently noticed a big shift in Tahlia, a high school student who used to hesitate when she got stuck—she's now actively asking questions and working through tricky algebra problems instead of giving up.

Another win came from Ashton, also in high school, who scored 93% on his term test after weeks of focused revision; he tackled log, trigonometry, and simultaneous equations confidently this time.

Meanwhile, Hayes in primary school showed real diligence by completing all his assigned maths problems before moving on to extra challenges during their session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Dev is great and Thea's maths is really coming along.  She's more confident and much better.  She didn't have much to catch up on but still a little further to go I think.  We're very happy with Dev.  Thank you.

Justin has been such an asset to Connor, honestly, his confidence and understanding has improved with Justin's assistance. We are so greatful to yourselves and Justin for all the work and patience over the past couple of weeks.

Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.

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 Pennant Hills Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Thornleigh West Public School.
