I think it's important for a tutor to understand their students educational needs and to help them learn how to apply themselves in the most effective way. The student should be happy with their education and the way their progressing in their subjects. The students need to feel comfortable enough with their tutor to ask for help, and feel as…

Tutor Woodford, NSW
Teaching the student to be motivated to learn, and how to learn and access the resources they need to learn is the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Once the student is confident that they can learn, they can become a much better independent learner, and require much tutelage outside of class. I consider one of my most useful…

Tutors need to be consistent, organised, as well as encouraging to help students feel motivated to achieve their academic goals. By creating motivation for students, students can also improve in their other subjects through their consistent studying patters that are shown by tutors. As a tutor, I am organised and can create plans for others for…

I can be there for a student and reassure them that human brains are sometimes complicated but once you take down the barriers to learning, then you can really take off. It's alright to be confused, it's a sign you're thinking. You're almost there, and if we talk about it and try some simpler examples, then it will all fall into place. Since 2019…

Teaching is not about your own academic ability but being able to explain content in a way the student can understand. The most important thing a tutor can do is find the specific way a student learns and use that to teach. I’m highly emotional intelligent and mental health conscious. I believe this will allow me to get the best from my students…

At the end of a session, you want your student to understand the concept being taught, rather than blindly solving problems using formulae without understanding why. Targeting low-confidence areas: Most people like doing things they're good at but if you're already competent in those areas, you're just wasting time. This is why it's important…

Being a form of support. Letting the student know it’s okay to make mistakes because that’s how we learn. It’s okay to make mistakes as much as it is to get it right.

Local Reviews

She's a pleasure to work with!
Amelia

Inside WoodfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ethan worked on calculating perimeter and area as well as converting decimals to percentages, using real-world examples for practice.

In Year 9, Mia revised solving simultaneous equations and explored proportionality through challenging past exam questions.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on financial maths concepts such as calculating taxable income and Medicare levy, alongside preparation for her upcoming assessment by reviewing a recent worksheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often left homework incomplete, especially in algebra and bearings, which limited opportunities for targeted feedback—one tutor noted, "set homework should be completed."

In Year 11 Financial Maths, missed practice with tax and Medicare levy questions led to hesitation and second-guessing during problem-solving.

A Year 8 student arrived without organized materials or written working; as observed, "distracted easily, unorganised," which made it harder to track errors or review methods later.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student struggled with letter formation and sight words; confusion between 'j' and 'i' slowed reading progress during number activities.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Woodford recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling trigonometry now confidently finds missing angles and sides using trig and Pythagoras, even taking the lead with questions instead of waiting for prompts.

Another high schooler showed real growth in algebra—where she once second-guessed herself, she now works through index laws with increasing intuition and achieved a strong mark on her last exam.

Meanwhile, a younger student made steady progress in reading aloud: after struggling with new words, he now recognises familiar ones more easily and reads sentences out loud with fewer pauses.

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 Lawson Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blue Mountains Steiner School.
