The most important things a tutor can do for a student is, emphasize the importance of practicing questions. Also ensure that the way they teach concepts is understandable and thorough. Making sure the student is open about their weaknesses and share any concerns they have about the material (most kids are shy when it comes to difficult concepts).…

The most important thing has to be getting the student to truly appreciate the meaning behind what they are learning rather than the topic itself, as by growing this genuine interest and passion for what it stands for is all that is needed for success since the motivation will lead them further than any kind of unenthusiastic rote learning. I…

Personally, I recognize that there are many responsibilities that a diligent tutor must fulfill, these include: - patience (no matter how many times a student doesn't understand a concept, a tutor should be patient and keep trying) - A supportive environment (students shouldn't feel judged and should have the confidence to openly ask…

A tutor should be someone who explains concepts in a way that is understood by and builds confidence in each student. Therefore, being flexible and able to provide a unique experience for every student is integral to the role of tutor.

It is to emphatize and to have patience with the student. Not everyone has the same learning curve. Other people learn faster than the others. It is common to get frustrated when your student is not understanding what you are trying to teach him/her, however, do not let your students feel and see that. It may not only hurt their self-confidence…

My role as a tutor is not to manufacture a result, it is only to facilitate the student's journey in learning.

This extends beyond just…

It was so simple to order a tutor. Within a few days our tutor was at our place. Our tutor is excellent, he knows exactly what our son needs after we discussed what we needed help with . Our son gets on really well with our tutor and is enjoying one on one learning.

Inside WoodcroftTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Veda focused on strengthening fundamentals by tackling assessment questions across number operations and was introduced to algebraic thinking through basic problems.

For Year 10, the lesson with Arjun targeted trigonometric equations and identities, including simplifying expressions using key formulas.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 session for Sarah centred on ratios and rates as well as statistics, practising interpretation of data sets and proportional reasoning in context.

Recent Challenges

The Year 8 student's maths book showed confusing structuring of working out, which led to errors in equations, as a tutor observed.

In Year 3, forgetting to borrow when subtracting money or not knowing when to subtract caused repeated mistakes during problem-solving.

One senior student rarely revisited past topics, so key methods faded and revision tests were harder than expected—especially for HSC content.

Another high schooler skipped writing steps in algebra, making it tough to spot sign errors until late in the process.

Missing or incomplete homework was noted across several grades; this slowed recall and progress on new material.

Recent Achievements

One Woodcroft tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from hesitating on trigonometry questions to working through medium-difficulty problems independently and explaining her reasoning out loud.

Another high schooler, previously unsure about how to tackle worded algebra problems, has started identifying where she gets stuck and now asks for clarification instead of guessing—making it much easier to address gaps directly.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with time-telling last term can now read the clock accurately and draw different times on her own; in her last session, she completed every question without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

Hi Tristan, Thank you for tutoring Macgregor, I have often found it difficult to motivate him to do homework and I have found your calm encouraging and persistent approach works very well with him. You are really great at keeping him engaged and focused at the same time, and work very well with him. You follow everything through in a sound, structured and well thought out way. I find your approach very professional. I have also found you very flexible and reliable and adapt to whatever Macgregor needs. Most importantly, Macgregor loves working with you and enjoys the way work with him. I look forward to seeing you continue to work with Macgregor next term.

Kai is really enjoying his lessons with Noah! He's got a great way of connecting with Kai. Kai mentioned that Noah explains the reasons instead of doing things by rote. He gets him to think before explaining the answer. Very happy with him!

Breanna is doing well with Clarissa and finding that it is helping even this early in.

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 Lalor Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Doonside High School.
