I think the most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is to listen to them. In order to properly help a student it is essential that you listen to them and focus on what they say they understand and where they say they are getting caught as they often understand parts of concepts and just need your help to put them all together. I think…

As a tutor i will try to improvise the personality of the child and try to infuse him with a Never give up attitude. A tutor should always teach according to the strengths of the child and work on minimizing his weakness. Tutors should always be transparent and ready to help the child to learn. I can understand the children mentality and this…

Education is the backbone to providing students with a toolkit that allow them to solve their life's problems. Without education from a variety of sources, an unbalanced individual can be created and will have difficulty in life. Therefore a tutor should be able to influence the student by providing insight unique to the school experience whilst…

Get them feeling comfortable with the fundamentals of what they are struggling with and create a deep-level understanding of the topic. Most importantly, teach them how to think, not what to think.

Inside WollongongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily explored the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and practised comparing types of microscopes with real-life examples.

Year 9 student Chloe focused on active transport mechanisms such as exocytosis and endocytosis (including phagocytosis and pinocytosis), alongside refining her ability to identify independent, dependent, and controlled variables in scientific investigations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia reviewed cell respiration equations and enzyme function, while also learning how to write hypotheses and evaluate experimental validity, reliability, and accuracy.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student in science struggled with organizing class materials—notes were undated and quiz questions scattered—which made it difficult to review for assessments ("she needs one folder for worksheets, another for tutoring").

Meanwhile, a senior biology student was hesitant to check her own answers or use specific scientific language; as the tutor noted, "reading over what she's written would help catch vague terms."

In Year 8, incomplete summary notes meant important content wasn't retained between sessions.

For a primary student, avoidance of homework perceived as "too easy" led to missed foundational skills, causing gaps when new maths topics appeared.

Recent Achievements

A Wollongong tutoring session saw a Year 10 student move from hesitating to label cell organelles and draw membrane diagrams to confidently explaining the three types of endocytosis, underlining key words, and sharing her thinking aloud.

In Year 8 science, another student who previously rushed through homework is now taking time to organise worksheets in separate folders and actively reattempts quiz questions after feedback.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once guessed at answers is beginning to pause and talk through problems out loud; she even self-corrected twice on her maths worksheet 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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mary Star of the Sea College.
