Help them to understand that they can learn. That they understand that teaching is one aspect of the education process and the other is learning. That all students have the capacity to learn especially if the teacher is prepared to apply their best effort to offering those students a way to understand the information. This can be assisted if both…

At face value, the most important thing is of course getting good results itself. That is the intent and purpose of the tutor. But in the bigger picture, the tutor must also develop the soft skills of the student, develop professionalism and perfectionism in their work, develop discipline and help them grow holistically I am patient, can come up…

I believe it is highly important to listen to your students.

I want all my students to enjoy our sessions and see it to be beneficial to their own…

A tutor is solely responsible for shaping a students life. I consider the tutor to be committed in understanding what type of student he/she handles, since all of them aren't the same. Analyzing the talents of students and guiding them in a friendly way, will definitely motivate them to perform better. The teacher must be strong with the subject,…

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction. Never giving up on a student, looking for opportunities to advance their skill is what a tutor should always do. I try to explain things from the student's perspective. For example, a gamer might…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

Put yourself in the situation. Think about what you would do as someone who is supposedly better at tackling difficult problems if you stumbled upon the same question. Then convey your thinking to the student. I am patient and I am good at predicting what student may find difficult in a certain exam/test. I am also adaptive to individual dilemmas…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

Inside Willoughby EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Eli focused on simplifying expressions using index laws and converting between roots and indices, then applied area and volume formulas to shapes like kites and pyramids.

Year 10 student Nick worked on analysing box-plot graphs, calculating means from frequency tables, and interpreting cumulative frequency, especially in the context of upcoming exams.

Meanwhile, Izzy in Year 6 revised addition, subtraction, division, and geometry through targeted revision sheets designed to strengthen foundational maths skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly rushed through complex surface area and prism problems, which led to confusion over which sides to include—he lost track of which sides were which, creating problems in his final equation.

In a separate Year 9 session, formatting issues like missing units and untidy layout made it hard for the student to check answers or review work later.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 English student's messy handwriting slowed down reading back his essay drafts and disrupted the flow of his argument development. These habits left them second-guessing their results during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Willoughby East tutor noticed Nick, a Year 11 student, moving from uncertainty to confidently explaining the functions of cumulative frequency tables and successfully drawing pareto charts on his own.

In a recent session, Nikolai in Year 10, who used to rush through measurement problems and make errors, now deliberately paces himself and completes complex surface area questions with improved accuracy.

Meanwhile, Izzy in primary school has started tackling time and clock questions more independently; after previously hesitating, she now attempts answers without waiting for reassurance and completes conversions between measurements with far less prompting than before.

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 Castlecrag Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas' Catholic Primary School.
