I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is listen to/watch for what they're struggling with most, and focus on that. Optimising the time you have with them will make sure that they can improve more quickly. I believe that my strengths as a tutor include my enthusiasm and passion for mathematics, and I try to pass…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach the student about any and all areas that the student have doubts or concerns with as well as reinforcing confidence for the student particularly in the weeks the follow before an exam. I am articulate in my language, know content well and am able to explain complex and bizarre concepts…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to provide the student with deep understanding of concepts so that the student can approach future challenges with the confidence that they can work through it on their own, even if it is unfamiliar.

I think a tutor, or any teacher, can honestly make or break a subject. As a tutor, I want to be able to make a student fall in love with what they are teaching them, rather than them seeing going to tutoring as a chore. I find my biggest strength to be that I get along well with younger kids and other people in general. I am very patient, and dont…

Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

A tutor needs to provide their student with support, tools, skills and most importantly understanding of how they can effectively approach their studies and achieve the best possible results they can. A tutor should also make their student feel comfortable, creating a sense of trust between them and allowing for more effective tutoring sessions.…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them a personalised teaching experience.

Foster self-confidence in their subject areas, as the main hurdle many students face, is self-doubt in their ability, which causes them to give up on their courses. I know the content very well and have helped many of my peers overcome things they don't understand in the syllabus. So I am familiar with many of the common problems students face in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence that they have the ability to learn.

Listen. I think it is pivotal for a tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential. Determination. When teaching a student something for the first time, it can be very difficult for them to understand a concept. So, as a tutor, I am…

Tutors should be willing to listen and work well with students to achieve their personal goals. Tutors must foster or inspire a strong work ethic within students, motivating them to strive to reach their personal best. Aside from increasing a student's comprehension of particular subjects, tutors should highlight the importance of speaking up and…

I believe the most important aspect of tutoring is targeting a student's goal in a subject, whether that be just passing or scoring 100%, and teaching them at that level, whilst providing that extra push to potentially help them succeed above these goals. In doing so, I believe this allows students to engage more with the work and see strong…

Jasmine has only spent a few hours with my daughter but I've been very happy with the progress that she has made in that short amount of time.. Jasmine is a great teacher and is building a strong connection with my daughter. I feel very lucky to have found her and I'm looking forward to seeing not only Alice's maths improve but also her attitude to her studies. I can see that Jasmine's subtle influence is going to be very valuable as Alice goes into Year 11. Thank you Jasmine.

Inside Whale BeachTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alex focused on area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, as well as solving problems involving composite shapes.

For Year 8, Jamie worked through trigonometry concepts including angles of elevation and depression, applying them to worded questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Priya practiced quadratic equations and explored strategies for solving them step by step.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student's working was often hard to follow—steps were jumbled or squeezed together, making it tricky to spot errors in expanding brackets. "He wrote several lines of calculation with no labels or spacing," one tutor observed.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student struggled to keep formulas straight during bearings and financial maths tasks; the right method was sometimes forgotten mid-question, leading to confusion when reviewing.

In primary years, forgetting times tables slowed down division and multiplication problems—mental calculations took much longer without quick recall, especially on speed-based tests. Confidence dipped after these stumbles.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Whale Beach noticed a Year 10 student who previously made small mistakes on exams recently scored an impressive 88%, showing much better accuracy with logarithms and polynomials.

Another high schooler, after struggling to apply the product and chain rule in calculus, can now confidently differentiate using these methods and even tackles more complex problems independently.

For a younger primary student, a big shift came when she stopped relying on her fingers for addition—she's begun using mental strategies like 'rainbow' helpers instead, finishing larger sums without needing to count each time.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Barrenjoey High School.
