A tutor needs to be patient and build a healthy learning curve. One of the most important things for a tutor is to be encouraging and positive. Negativity can lead to resentment towards a subject and deflect the student from making a genuine effort to learn. A tutor also needs to be well-versed with the material so they can teach the student as…

Bring them self-confidence. Because as a former student, this is the most important thing I got from my tutor. Students who take tuition often do so because they lack confidence in their grades, or even receive pressure from others such as parents, and so can become agitated or even bored with their studies, and thus engage in self-denial. If you…

Give the student the foundational skills to excel on the own once outside of tutoring. A good tutor will be able to get their student to a level where they feel competent to work by themselves, and know both how to solve a problem, and why we approach the problem the way we do. My strengths as a tutor is my relatability, as math didn’t come easy…

I think a tutor should have at least some level of personal connection with the student. A tutor should always motivate students to try their hardest, and also engage them into the subject as much possible. The ability to understand, to some extent at least whether the student has understood that paricular concept or…

I think a good tutor is supposed to firmly believe that every child can achieve success in each subject regardless of any individual difficulties even with special needs.

I think the most important thing to understand as a tutor is that different students think differently. Certain students will naturally have more or less affinity to different subjects, but also different ways of learning. Trying to figure out which way to best teach requires understanding which way students are best able to learn. For instance,…

Inside WaterlooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Elliott revised multiplication and division, then built confidence with fractions and long division using visual models.

For Year 8, Sophie worked on algebraic expansion and simplification alongside measurement skills, focusing on area and perimeter of different shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Adam tackled trigonometry topics including sine and cosine rules as well as curve sketching, helping to prepare for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 English, one student struggled with formatting sentences and showed a reluctance toward narrative writing; as the tutor noted, "needed help with formatting sentences."

Meanwhile, in Year 9 mathematics, untidy written work made solutions difficult to follow—messy handwriting directly led to lost marks when misread answers were submitted.

For a senior (Year 11) maths student, late submission of their formula sheet caused stress before an assessment: "Didn't give me cheat (Formula) sheet for the school in time."

These process habits interrupted feedback and sometimes meant unnecessary mistakes went unnoticed until revision.

Recent Achievements

One Waterloo tutor recently noticed a Year 7 student who used to rush through maths questions is now slowing down, carefully reading each problem and explaining his thinking out loud—a big shift from guessing in silence.

A Year 11 student who once struggled with probability is now consistently answering intersection problems and addition rule problems correctly, even tackling harder examples on his own.

Meanwhile, a primary schooler who previously needed help for every division step managed to complete her long division worksheet independently and finished all practice test questions without prompting.

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 Waterloo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School.
