The best things a tutor can do for a student is to listen and support. A tutor needs to know what the student's understanding is in order to help guide them through the process of learning the content. The tutor should also encourage their student, creating a safe environment where they feel comfortable to give things a go, and challenge…

I think fostering curiosity and confidence are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Technical knowledge is obviously extremely important, however, I think building solid study foundations is something a student will carry with them for the rest of their lives. As a current university student, I understand the frustration that…

The purpose of a tutor is to provide a one-on-one learning experience; thus, a tutor should be able to adapt to their student's specific needs. A tutor needs to identify weak areas and improve them but also foster confidence in students strong areas. Obviously, a tutor should be well versed in the content that they're teaching. Please note,…

I think it is important to create a casual, comfortable learning space for students where they feel comfortable talking to me as another student rather than a teacher. I feel this benefits them by not feeling that they are in a classroom, but rather simply discussing topics of difficulty with a colleague or mentor, ultimately increasing enthusiasm…

A tutor should be able to build upon the basics and the foundation of a subject, most exams require an application of the basics. Students can only achieve full marks if they can apply their core knowledge in different ways to suit a question. Hence, the most important thing a tutor can do is teach ways to apply the basics. In math, there are…

Based on my experience, I believe tutoring goes beyond the instructional role to supplement class-room teaching in three ways: Empathic: Face-to-face or personalized tutoring is intended to be remedial in nature. At times, the lack of understanding of some fundamental concepts from the prior years causes difficulty for the student. The tutor…

I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…

Inside WoodrisingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tiffany completed a maths skills assessment and then practised volume and capacity problems for cubes and prisms, alongside visual literacy tasks with annotations.

For Year 9, Lachlan focused on financial mathematics by calculating percentages, gross and net pay, as well as exploring wages and salaries using real-world examples.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student worked through the structure of essay writing in English before tackling advanced financial maths concepts including different types of income and salary calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to keep track of unit places when working with larger numbers, leading to confusion during multi-step arithmetic; as one tutor noted, "he sometimes forgot that he took away a place for a number."

In Year 11 Chemistry, review sessions revealed hesitation in using feedback and revising reaction equations independently.

For a Year 12 student preparing for HSC trials, delayed start times and inconsistent exam revision meant "results fell below expectations" after neglecting deeper practice with past questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to attempt new times tables without reassurance, slowing progress on multiplication foundations.

Recent Achievements

One Woodrising tutor noted that a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when she didn't understand maths concepts is now openly asking questions as soon as something isn't clear, which has helped her grasp tricky topics like indices much more quickly.

Another high schooler recently made a breakthrough in interpreting worded problems: after previously missing key details, he now highlights variables independently and works through multi-step questions with minimal prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who struggled with shape names at first was excited to confidently name all the main 3D shapes without any hints by the end of their session.

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 Speers Point Library, milyaba—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Paul's Catholic College.
