I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them feel more confident in entering exams and answering questions. One major obstacle students face is not being sure whether they are 'smart enough' for an exam, and I aspire to improve my student's confidence and help them understand how to answer questions :) I…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are being an attentive and listening mentor, ready to help with any issues. As a tutor, I think being able to shape and mould your lessons around the needs of the student is also a very important skill, and in doing so they can help the student achieve their goals. I think some of my…

It is to provide a healthy learning environment. There should be a good rapport between the student and the teacher. The teacher should make the student feel that they are valued and appreciated.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is believe in the student. If they are struggling in school, there may be no one else cheering them on. This also builds a level of trust so the student can begin to be comfortable in their abilities. My strengths are my ability to connect with students who are struggling and my ability to make…

I believe one of the things a tutor should find important is to help find coping mechanisms the students can use to ease their exam anxiety. As well as that I believe a tutor should work at the pace that best suits the student rather than the tutor. I believe that I am an outgoing, confident and kind person who can get along with all types of…

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.

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.
