While contributing to students' academic success is undoubtedly important, it's equally vital for a tutor to inspire their students. As a tutor, I believe I have a responsibility to serve as a mentor and role model for my students. Through mutual respect and trust, I strive to encourage my students in opening up about their challenges and…

According to me tutors should work on their patients and listening skills. A good tutor will be able to figure out why the student is having a hard time with a subject and address that issue exactly. The tutor must be a good listener because a lot of the time, the student will tell you exactly why they are having trouble. Sometimes, finding out…

Guide the student and not give them the answer straight away. Let them develop the critical thinking needed for each type of problem. This is especially important in programming. You might get away with memorizing solutions to specific questions in maths or chemistry but in programming, each problem is unique and you really need to understand the…

I believe that the most important thing for a tutor is to be patient with a student.

A tutor's key role is to make complex ideas easily understandable. This means adapting communication styles to suit each student's learning style, using real-life examples or visual aids to further explain concepts if needed. Another essential aspect of tutoring is fostering student confidence. This involves providing personalised support,…

The most important thing is connection. I believe that most student studies not because they want to but it is because it is the social factors and extrinsic motivation. Whether it is pressure from parents, pride from peers, or other factors. I personally think that it is difficult to change a kid's intrinsic motivation as it is usually just being…

Local Reviews

Rosie is tutoring my child in year 7 maths and has built up a great rapport with her. Through my observations I can see that Rosie has a strong understanding of maths and is able to explain ideas and concepts very easily. She has a lot of patience and always checks my daughters understanding and offers alternative explanations where needed. Rosie is always punctual, friendly and polite and I am very happy with the progress that has been made to date.

Inside ZetlandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student William worked on correcting homework covering simple interest and surds, along with catching up missed class content.

For Year 9, revision with Ben focused on dividing and multiplying fractions as well as tackling negative and fractional indices in surds.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Xavier practised converting remainders into decimals, solved word problems, and labelled different types of triangles using diagrams to support understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student left several steps unwritten when tackling algebraic equations, as one tutor noted: "he tried to do everything in his head instead of writing it down." This led to confusion over signs and made errors harder to spot.

In Year 11, incomplete homework meant that basic perfect square practice was missed, so extra time had to be spent revisiting foundational rules rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a primary student working on division often forgot her materials at home, causing delays while searching for worksheets and slowing the start of each session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Zetland noted that William, a Year 10 student, has started attempting every maths question instead of skipping the tough ones—a real shift from earlier sessions when he'd often give up if stuck.

In Year 11, after struggling with surd problems last term, he was able to recall the steps and solve similar questions independently this week, using his own notes for support.

Meanwhile, Elliott (Year 5) used to stay quiet during lessons but now openly talks through his reasoning on each English question and even asks for extra examples when something feels tricky. Last session, he wrote down all his ideas without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with AiPing, she works the boys hard and seems to be very knowledgeable.

So far we are extremely happy with Sarah. As you said, it is very early days, but so far so good. Mackenzie is very comfortable with her and feeling very positive about having Sarah as his new tutor. She is always punctual and friendly. And she has taken on some extra sessions with Mack over the school holidays which has been very helpful. I look forward to getting a couple of months tutoring under our belt to hopefully see some progress.

Thank you for your email.  Things are going well with the tutoring and Christian is a capable young man, as you say it will take time to see an improvement. Hopefully after that time, Kimberley will be feeling more confident.

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