Effective tutoring involves understanding students' needs, providing clear explanations, fostering confidence, offering support, and promoting critical thinking. This creates a supportive environment for learning and growth. As a tutor, one of my strengths is being able to explain concepts in various ways until the student fully understands. I'm…

I believe a tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their clients…

The most important things for a tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic. Having transferable skills as a student and being able to apply their knowledge to…

I always find people learn best when they're comfortable and truly believe they can master the concept. Therefore, I would say the most important thing for a tutor is to build a mutual respect with their student. From there encouragement, communication, and teaching is much easier. Although I have a good knowledge off mathematics and the sciences,…

Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

Being available for your students is the most significant thing any tutor can do.

Understand their problems and provide the best solution for them to catch things better. A single…

Personally, a tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and being…

Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence.

Allow them to figure it out themselves. Giving them the answer is detrimental and they aren't actually learning. Providing clues, hints or simply even breaking questions down into sub questions allows them to approach concepts and questions more easily and break it down into manageable chunks.

When you're a tutor, students are like children to us. Nothing is more valuable than our children. Everything we do, every good aspect we think of still feel less for our children.

Make their students feel comfortable (e.g; polite conversation), this thus allows the student to voice their concerns and allows the tutor to adjust what they are teaching and how they are doing so.

Anneke has been amazing. Harper is enjoying maths so much more and her confidence and ability has increased greatly.
Sam

Inside Barrack PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Molly focused on converting between hourly and weekly pay, using real-world examples to reinforce her understanding of mathematical formulas, and then explored the nervous system's structure and function.

For Year 10, Sarah revised solving equations with pronumerals on both sides as well as equations involving brackets, working through targeted algebra exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack tackled compound interest calculations and discussed key differences between simple and compound interest in financial mathematics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a tutor observed, "she often looks at the wrong information when referring back to worksheets or questions," which led to confusion during revision—especially when her working out wasn't clearly labeled.

During Year 11 algebra practice, steps were skipped in written solutions; small sign errors crept in and went unnoticed because working was not set out logically.

In a Year 7 session, double-checking calculator entries was missed, causing simple input mistakes.

Exam stress for one senior student meant familiar topics were answered incorrectly without time spent reviewing answers before submission—a moment of frustration as she realized avoidable marks had slipped away.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barrack Point noticed that a Year 11 student, after weeks of hesitation, now openly points out her maths struggles and brings them to sessions for discussion—something she never did before.

A Year 9 student recently showed real initiative by double-checking her algebra work, catching and fixing her own mistakes instead of waiting for prompts.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who struggled with worded problems managed to solve two new questions unaided by applying earlier lessons on identifying key information.

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 Warilla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warilla High School.
