I personally like kids and love to communicate with them, I think communicating with the student is the mandarory thing for a tutor in order to reach the goal for the student to catch the topic that the tutor is teaching. I used to be a student and still a student myself, so I personally believe I would understand their needs as a student. I am…

From my perspective, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to encourage the student to keep trying and believe in their potential. As each student has different strengths, the competitive environment would easily make a student feel ashamed when being left behind. Thus, a tutor should be the one to inspire and accompany with the…

The tutor can prepare so that they can be ready to teach by understanding required concepts first and bringing every necessary resource to each session. I can easily tell if a student really understands a concept properly. If a student doesn't, then I know there's need to correct that by providing them with fundamental…

A tutor should be able to teach in a simple manner that the student can understand at their comprehension level. This means providing analogies to real-life situations, or breaking down the topic into more digestible chunks if needed. A tutor should generally understand the level of comprehension of the students they are tutoring to adapt their…

Tutors are different with teachers, of course. As a tutor, I can teach fewer students in a small classroom (1to1/1to 2), which means I can take care of each child, not only on their school work but also on their mental thinking ; I can answer their questions in time or straight away; I can help them to have a look of their homework questions or…

The ability to empower students to become better learners. I think this involves providing an array of study tools and general problem-solving methods to students, but I also think it is having the ability to instil both a passion for learning in a student and also confidence that the student can tackle any learning obstacle that comes their way,…

Teach students how to solve the problem by themselves, and this problem means all kinds of troubles in their lives. I am good at listening and I always will find some details and problems people normally will not notice. And I am good at solving problems (math problems) because I come from China, where math is a critical subject. Also, I am…

A tutor can offer support and accompany the students to reach their academic goals. The experience of tutoring my younger sister provides me confidence in being a great tutor. Whenever she was confused about her homework, I would encourage her to share her confusion with me and I would try to lead her through the puzzle. I would patiently discuss…

If a tutor is able to inspire the student to do better, not only in the specific subjects being handled by tutor, but also as an individual, that would be the greatest achievement a teacher could have.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them believe in their own ability to learn. When a student gains confidence, they become more willing to try, make mistakes, and keep going — and that’s when real progress happens. A tutor’s job isn’t just to explain concepts, but to create a safe space where the student…

Leading and mentoring instead of carrying a student is the best one can do as a tutor. The whole purpose of a tutor isn't making the job for a student it is for the student to acquire the tools and skills needed to overcome whatever comes by. I try to make people truly understand what they are working into not just for the moment. Making people…

I believe the most important thing is to give confidence to the students. That is what I have learnt from my experience. More important than teaching students every concept is teaching them how to study itself and think about things while believing in themselves.

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.
