The most important thing would be to create a safe space for students, so they will feel welcomed and understood. This can build their confidence as well. Once they feel safe, the students can ask any question and tutor can help them and fill their knowledge gap. My strength would be perseverance, adaptability, and emphaty. I would try and give…

Building the trust between the tutor and the student is what I believe it is most important. I felt that if I didn't build the trust with my students, then no matter how much I try, they will not improve. Therefore, building trust - looking confident and knowing what I am doing. My strength is making sure the students understand the concepts.…

The most important thing a teacher can teach a student is something about how they learn best, like what techniques, environements, etc. they need to learn effectively. This is not only a skill that will help them any time they need to learn something in the future, but also something that will help them enjoy the process. I think I have excellent…

Motivating them is probably the most important, as students can be brilliant but fall behind quickly if they do not have the drive to improve. I think that a tutor also needs to have multiple different ways of approaching a question as a student might not be able to grasp a particular one. Furthermore, I believe that generically working through…

I think the most important thing for a tutor is the ability to allow the student to improve exponentially whilst enjoying what they are learning, because from my experience, once I have understood and learnt a concept, applying and solving problems become much easier and fun in a way. I believe not only providing answers, but instead guiding a…

I think that taking the time to really understand the student's needs and being able to break down the problem into its smallest components really helps to understand exactly where the student is going wrong, and how to help them. Once I understand where the student is struggling, I can focus on practicing that concept until they are comfortable…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to promote confidence in a student. After a tutoring session, the goal should not be for a student to be able to complete their homework. Instead, the student should gain an understanding of the topic such that they can complete future coursework without the help of a tutor. If that…

I believe that a tutor should not just provide answers to a problem, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think to solve problems.

Improved results! The tutor is always on time, very helpful and patient with my daughter and really has built her confidence and skills in maths. Her grades have improved as a direct result of tutoring
Maria, Botany

Inside BotanyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Andre worked on algebra revision and solved practice problems using the quadratic formula, then applied the interest formula (IPRT) to worded questions.

For Year 9, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry concepts, including sine and cosine relationships while completing her maths assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lily focused on revising equations with one unknown and practised geometry involving triangles in preparation for her upcoming school exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly hesitated with worded maths problems, often "getting nervous and abandoning her first strategy if it took too long." This avoidance led to incomplete solutions, especially in multi-step geometry or pie chart tasks.

In senior English, a Year 11 student did not bring drafts for discursive essays, making it impossible to review and edit structure or elevate language mid-lesson; as one tutor noted, "access to writing before the lesson is essential."

In Year 9 algebra revision, another student preferred working in cramped spaces rather than spreading out their calculations—errors became harder to spot and correct on crowded pages.

Recent Achievements

One Botany tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on unfamiliar geometry questions now starts each problem by talking aloud and underlining only the key information, which has helped her tackle even multi-step problems without reminders.

In a recent high school English session, another student took the initiative to edit her discursive essay before the lesson, so she could focus solely on refining her reflection during tutoring—something she hadn't done independently before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with division now solves these problems more easily after adopting a new method and explaining his steps out loud.

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 Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Botany Public School.
