I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student how to learn. In the process guiding the student to discover methods of learning and studying that is most suited to them. I think learning is a lifelong experience, so I believe finding the efficient, appropriate methods of learning is the most beneficial for…

As mentioned earlier, to help them reach that "aha!" moment. Teaching is a 2 way street; if only the tutor keeps on talking then there wont be any meaningful session. Hence, encourage active participation is one of the important things a tutor can do for a student. 1. Explaining complicated (and even easy) concepts in a very intuitive manner 2. I…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create an environment that they feel comfortable and capable of learning and making mistakes in, because failure is an important part of learning. It is our job as tutors to be advocates of our students, which means providing encouragement, empowerment, and an ear to listen to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can and should do for a tutee is to prepare content according to their needs and preferences when learning. This is done through thorough preparation before each session, communicating with either the student or parent to understand what the student wishes to learn or practice during upcoming sessions,…

Allow the student to overcome challenges on their own. I have never felt as a teacher and tutor that I should give the students answers if they are not able to work through it themselves, I should be able to give them the tools to succeed with small and regular input from myself. I am a great communicator who can organise and present planned…

Be very accessible - the student should feel comfortable in asking the tutor questions. Communication - the tutor should be able to explain and teach each student according to their level of learning. Knowledge - the tutor must have the required knowledge and resources that the student requires. My strength would be my ability to adjust and…

I believe a student learns the most from his tutor/teachers/guides hence I strongly suggest that a tutor can instill values in a student, no one else can. Since I have successfully completed my Engineering degree from India, it has taught me the virtue of patience and I am very sure that I've inculcated the value, which is very essential for any…

Let the students learn at their own pace and not force them to advance in the material when not ready. I think the most important thing depends on what the student goals are, so being aware of what the student wants/needs is a good idea. Being able to teach to a variety of different learners. Over my early times of tutoring I've dealt with a lot…

Be someone they can be comfortable with and understanding. I think if students are encouraged to ask questions and the tutor is patient with them, they won’t feel scared and they’ll be more transparent with how well they understand the topic. I also realised that when a tutor respects the students, the student will honour the tutors more as…

Reapproach. If a specific angle of teaching isn't working, it is not the fault of the student. It is the job of the tutor to reconsider alternative angles so that the student understands. I can help the student understand the material in some way or another that allows them to progress rather than just giving out practice…

A tutor should help students build real understanding, not just memorise steps. I think it’s important to support their confidence, show them practical ways to approach problems, and help them become more independent learners. From my experience, a bit of encouragement and clear, straightforward guidance goes a long way in helping students feel…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills. The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is make themselves obsolete.My goal isn’t just to help them pass the next exam, but to help them build the confidence and study habits to learn on their own. A tutor should provide a psychologically safe environment where it’s okay to say ‘I don’t know’ or make mistakes without judgment.…

I think the most important thing is to simply be there for a student, ensure their learning environment feels safe. From there on, explanations & clarifications make their entrance.

Inside UltimoTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Yash explored area and perimeter of triangles, along with multiplying and adding decimals and large numbers, finishing up with some long division for fluency.

In Year 10, Michelle focused on applying the perfect squares method to solve parabolas and used the discriminant to analyse tangent and secant scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben worked through conditional probability problems using Venn diagrams and tackled non-linear relationships in algebraic contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student did not complete the assigned homework, which limited her confidence when facing new equation types—"she needed more practice to feel ready with the answers."

In Year 9, a student became stuck on lengthy worded problems, especially when unfamiliar vocabulary appeared; this slowed progress even if those words were not essential.

For a Year 4 learner, confusion between letters like 'b' and 'd' meant she relied heavily on an adult's help to get through reading tasks.

During algebra in Year 8, "he skipped steps while solving," causing hidden errors that required extra correction time mid-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ultimo recently saw a Year 11 student who'd struggled with financial maths revisit her old exam errors—this time, she could solve those tricky problems independently after targeted practice.

A Year 9 student, who used to hesitate when stuck, now openly asks the tutor to repeat explanations if something's unclear and even volunteered to try extra word problems on her own.

In a primary session, one young learner began reading short passages aloud smoothly for the first time once promised regular breaks; before, she'd quietly avoid reading out loud at all.

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 Ultimo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ultimo Public School.
