Rosie
PDHPE Tutor Enmore, NSW
In my opinion, building a student’s confidence and providing friendly assistance is the best any tutor can do for their students. As someone who has received tutoring in the past, I know how much of a difference these simple things can make to a nervous or hesitant student. I believe my strongest attributes as a tutor are that I am very patient,…

PDHPE Tutor Roselands, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to what they need and make sure to push them only to their highest point of productivity. Every student has different goals and learns in a different way so it is the responsibility of the tutor to cater to those needs. I am able to foster and maintain strong connections with…

PDHPE Tutor Camperdown, NSW
A tutor needs to be able to make sessions engaging and enjoyable so their students will want to come back to each lesson. They need to also be able to be someone students can trust and feel comfortable with as they do spend a lot of time together. The hard work and determination I have to make sure my students can learn as much as possible means I…

Oscar
PDHPE Tutor Forest Lodge, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to learn for themselves. It is easy to rote memorize a formula or a text, but to be able to teach someone how they can teach themselves and to show them how to problem solve so that they can attack problems independently is far more valuable I believe my strengths as a…

Victoria
PDHPE Tutor Riverwood, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to believe in them and show encouragement. Self-esteem can be extremely vulnerable during schooling years, and tutors have the power to enhance their students' level of self-confidence and sense of self-efficacy. When I believe in their potential, work with their strengths, support their…

I think there are many factors that come into place when tutoring kids. Collaboration and positivity would definitely be my top 2 things to consider when tutoring as I feel as though it is important for the student to feel like they are getting somewhere whilst being supported and encouraged at the same time. Collaborating together is also crucial…

I think it is important to be adaptable, each student and each age group will learn differently. Even moreso, I think it is vital that tutors are patient, listening to their students and trying to make them feel as comfortable as possible even when faced with a challenge. I think as a tutor and in general, I am very hard working, and will be …

Inside BanksiaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Sasha practised measurement skills by working through questions from Chapter 8 and also received support on specific homework problems.
In Year 10, James revised simultaneous equations using the elimination method and focused on understanding coefficients through step-by-step examples.
For Year 12, Charlotte completed practice questions on networks, rates, and ratios directly aligned with the Standard Mathematics syllabus to prepare for upcoming assessments.
Recent Challenges
A Year 9 student tackling networks found it difficult to memorise key definitions and formulas, which slowed progress; as the tutor noted, "explaining the parts of the topic he didn't understand was hard without repeating myself."
In Year 7 algebra, another student consistently avoided writing out working for equations, making sign errors harder to catch.
For a primary creative writing task, one child hesitated to try new ideas out of fear of mistakes—leading to less original responses.
Meanwhile, in senior trigonometry revision, incomplete homework limited the depth of discussion and practice on advanced problems.
Recent Achievements
One Banksia tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with ratios in the past, began identifying calculation errors independently and even caught a mistake before the tutor did during a complex networks problem.
In another high school session, a student who used to skip showing working for algebra now writes out each step and talks through her process aloud without prompting, making it much easier to catch mistakes early.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently started asking for extra worksheets on mixed numerals—something she previously avoided—and now tries new fraction problems by herself before seeking help.
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 Bayside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arncliffe Public School.
