To make them feel safe and comfortable, build up their confidence to apply their knowledge to problems. It is imperative that students feel comfortable to both reach out and develop security within their own abilities to achieve their academic goals. Communication, patience and resilience. I believe establishing a safe and friendly environment is…

Be encouraging - Student's won't understand something straight away and this can be a source of discouragement for them. The last thing they need is a tutor who refuses to acknowledge this. Constantly encouraing the student will help them realise it will only be a matter of time until they nail a concept. Be a friend - The idea of a tutor is to…

One important aspect of a tutor is to be a positive role model. This requires maintaining appropriate behaviour which makes students to feel at ease in their learning environment, as well as setting an example. Being patient and attentive towards students' needs are therefore essential. Another feature should be to provide students with ideas for…

The most important thing a tutor can do is teach the concept not just the problem. If tutors can help students to understand the concept and apply it every time it becomes like second nature.

In my opinion, a teacher must always be willing to learn those concepts for his students which they want to know. Also , a teacher must even provide them with some learning methods so that they can get grasp over any topic easily. Moreover, a teacher must always motivate a student and help him to think out of a box. Apart from that, teacher can…

Tutors need to be able to listen, support, and communicate with their students in a way that makes them feel comfortable to ask questions and admit when they don’t really understand what’s going on. By being an approachable person, students are less likely to feel anxious and in a comfortable environment, are more likely to absorb the…

Inside YarrawarrahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ethan revised double-digit multiplication and worked on multi-step division problems, using visual methods to break down each question.

In Year 8, Olivia tackled algebraic techniques and explored surd and indices through targeted practice questions from her classwork.

For Year 11, Sarah focused on Financial Maths concepts and practiced Network Concepts by completing past HSC-style questions to consolidate her understanding of the terminology.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, distraction during subtraction tasks—especially with multi-digit numbers—meant steps were sometimes skipped or the order of numbers was mixed up. "She got distracted a bit but was mostly good," noted one tutor after a session on subtracting hundreds.

For a Year 10 student, revision before exams relied heavily on tutor prompts; planning for essay writing wasn't always followed, and there was hesitance to independently select questions to practice.

In senior science (Year 12), incomplete homework occasionally limited targeted feedback, making it harder to pinpoint misunderstandings in topics like plant cell functions or simultaneous equations.

Recent Achievements

A Yarrawarrah tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to stay quiet when confused—now she openly asks for clarification on tricky chemistry concepts, especially around periodic trends, instead of letting misunderstandings pile up.

In Year 7 maths, one student who previously rushed through word problems started pausing to think them through and now successfully identifies the key steps herself before solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student recently recognised her past exam mistakes in biology and independently corrected her approach using specific feedback from the last session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Patrick is such a wonderful young man and he and Reece really work well together! I have also engaged your business for my daughter also.

Yes , I am very pleased with Ed. Early days and my daughter has been a little reticent and awkward about having a tutor however I am going to make her stick it out . I however, am  very pleased with Ed and his approach with Olivia Look forward to seeing some results in the near future

I'm very happy with the progress that Abbey is making with Isabel, Isabel had lost most of her confidence in her ability to do her school work. Abbey's positive approach to Isabel's work is starting to reflect on Isabel.

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 Engadine Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yarrawarrah Public School.
