A tutor's primary aim is to instill confidence in the student. Students seek tutors for a variety of reasons. Maybe the student is struggling and needs someone to explain things more clearly. A wise and patient tutor will do that, and the student will feel more confident; that they can do it! Some students come to tutoring with no real problems,…

I think tutor should do everything for his or her students because after the parents only teacher is one person who can very closed for the student. Tutor should look after their students and if they have any bad habit then it's tutor responsibility to guide them in right direction and also inform their parents. Tutor can make hard subject into…

A tutor can spend time with students so that they can understand what the problem is. Moreover, a tutor is a person with whom every student feels safe, and they share everything, so the tutor must be calm and teach everything in a fun way.

I think that as a tutor, we should be different from teachers at school. We should provide extra care to their needs and catering to what areas of a particular topic they are struggling with, in order for them to improve. Therefore, I think that conducting a personalized teaching plan for the students to observe and explore what methods they can…

I believe explaining a concept in such a way that the student understands it intuitively and can thus use that understanding to solve different problems, rather than simply rote-learning a series of facts, is an incredibly important part of being a tutor. The tutor should be adding to a student's toolkit such that they can solve a variety of…

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.

Local Spots for Tutoring
