The most important thin, in my opinion, is recognising that every student learns differently. A good tutor needs to be flexible and have a deep, well-rounded understanding of the subject so they can explain concepts in different ways, depending on what suits the student best. I come from a family of teachers, so I’ve been surrounded by effective…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make that student interested in what they are learning. Although students may not enjoy every aspect of what they're learning, if they can find even one thing that they enjoy, this could be enough. I am patient, determined, and kind to those that I tutor. So, I think that…

As a tutor, the most important thing is to answer to a student's academic needs, no matter what they may be. Whether it be difficulty on a certain topic or problem, or revision for a test. This, as well as acting as a support for the student's attitude towards learning, is what being a tutor is about. When it comes to working on a subject, I'm…

In my opinion, tutors have the responsability to ensure that the students have learned and correctly understood a topic. I always liked the metaphor building a car. A mechanic can tell you how to build it piece by piece but you can not replicate that process unless you have really understood it. In addition, tutors have an important role in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teaching the content in a way suited to that students learning style. I break things down to a very simple level.

A tutor has to be flexible enough to change their teaching style and methods according to the student's learning styles and capabilities. No two students are the same which means adaptability becomes a key skill that a tutor has to have and be able to provide a well tailored tutoring style for the student. Moreover, a tutor has to be kind and…

According to me the most important thing for the tutor is to understand that not all students understand concepts the same way and sense when students do not understand something and willingly try another approach of presenting the material to help the student. With this approach a tutor can make a difference in the student’s learning. I believe…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is to build both a professional and friendly rapport with the students at the beginning. This helps to set a comfortable and safe learning environment.

I believe being a good role model for a student is the most important thing a tutor can do. When a tutor serves as a positive role model, they provide students with an example to embrace and emulate. A tutor can influence a student's behavior, mindset, and work ethic through their actions and the way they present themselves. Throughout my diverse…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is aiding their understanding in their learning.

A tutor should be able to immediately help a student with their issues, constructing quick and easy-to-digest lessons around their desired topics, and tailoring the lesson to the student's individual strengths and weaknesses.

Being able to give a full and comprehensive understanding of a syllabus, AND to make the student confident. Because the more understanding and confident they are, the easier will it be for them to analyse and solve the problem, they might even become creative with the problems, which is essentially a phase of nirvana for students.

It's extremely important for a tutor to be receptive and lay the groundwork to work on by listening to the students needs during the first few meetings to understand where to student stands and what they require from you. Being open minded and hearing the students issues allows you to adapt your teaching and behavior to their difficulties and…

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.

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.
