Tutoring is a form of specialised teaching, and two-way communication is fundamental to successful teaching. It is easy to talk at a child to teach them a concept on a basic level, but patience, asking the child questions and listening to their responses effectively are essential elements in ensuring the student understands the content. From many…

Ideally, although admittedly ironic, you want a student to be able to stand on their own two feet and achieve their goals without the need of a tutor at some point. So, although the direct role of a tutor is to teach content, the wider, arguably more profound role of a tutor is to teach lifelong skills, habits, and techniques that students can…

The most important thing that I believe a tutor can do for a student is to be able to provide for them the skills they need to not only succeed, but also build their own confidence in their personal skill and performance. It is important for students to not only have the skills, but to be confident in their ability to solve problems using these…

I believe forming a connection with the student and building a positive relationship with them that way they have a more positive look on being tutored. Most students dont enjoy the aspect of tutoring because it can be a chore for them, but by building a relationship during these sessions, you can make them look forward to being tutored more.…

The most important thing I could do as a tutor for my student would be to be able to share a different style of learning to them and to teach them how to love the subject they are studying. The most common thing about many of my most memorable teachers and tutors, was that they taught me these lessons, and so I hope to pass that on. As a tutor, I…

I believe that patience is very important when it comes to tutoring. This is important because it allows for the student to remain comfortable and ask questions without being worried that they are being judged. Since asking questions is a key aspect of the learning process, impatience would simply limit the students ability to learn. I am able to…

Inside ThornlieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Claudia practised calculating the area of composite shapes and converting between units of time.

Year 10 student Jasmine worked on algebraic factorisation as well as expanding brackets, using a worksheet for extra practice.

Meanwhile, Maha in Year 11 focused on arithmetic and geometric sequences, tackling problems that required identifying patterns and finding specific terms within those sequences.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to attempt the non-calculator section in maths, with "a bit scared of it" noted during probability questions—this lack of confidence led to slower progress and less risk-taking.

In Year 10, one student repeatedly missed key details when reading through test questions, which resulted in misinterpreting problems on population samples and probability tables.

For a Year 4 learner, reliance on a multiplication chart instead of having times tables memorised meant more time was spent looking up answers than practicing new concepts.

In algebra assignments, skipping careful setup sometimes caused both sides not to balance.

Recent Achievements

A Thornlie tutor noticed a real shift with Jasmine in Year 10—she's started spotting her own mistakes during practice tests, catching errors before they're pointed out, which is a big change from when she'd rush through and overlook them.

Claudia, in Year 11, now comes to sessions ready to tell the tutor exactly where she feels stuck and reminds them of her gaps as they work; last term, she'd stay quiet even when confused.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student recently managed long division mostly alone for the first time after weeks needing step-by-step help.
