I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support them without judgement. Whether that support comes in smaller forms of teaching students concepts they may struggle with or encouraging students to not give up. As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I tutor and…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs.

A tutor should be there to support the student through all academic struggles they are facing and help the student reach all their academic goals.

A tutor needs to inspire the students in such a way that they know what their efforts will make them accomplish. A very few teachers are able to provide the contextual applications of what they teach the students. I believe it is paramount that a student know about WHY he is being taught something.

A tutor should not just teach, but they should listen to their students, seek feedback and use that to improve their teaching. It is important to develop trust with students so that they feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their concerns and identifying topics that they may want to strengthen. In doing so, the tutor can gain a greater…

Richard is a lovely young man. Very patient and caring in his delivery of his tutoring. He has made my daughter feel better about her ability to problem solve her mathematics.

Inside DavidsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Olivia worked through finding the perimeter and area of shapes, alongside practising operations with decimals.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and collecting like terms in equations.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled linear equations and applied laws of indices to various problems, reinforcing her understanding using real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student admitted that "revision doesn't help much for tests," highlighting a need to rethink study strategies and assignment planning, especially in preparing for maths assessments.

In Year 7 algebra, skipping written steps—"he tries to do it all in his head"—led to missed variables and incomplete answers, making errors harder to catch.

One senior student struggled to adapt the right formulas during unfamiliar exam questions; without clear working or question analysis, time was wasted circling back.

When homework wasn't completed outside of tutorials in Year 8, gaps persisted into lessons—so class time became review rather than moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Davidson tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebra problems now attempting the hardest questions on their worksheet without prompting, showing a clear shift from avoidance to active problem-solving.

In a senior session, a Year 12 student—who often hesitated to ask for help—has started openly identifying her weaker topics and requesting extra practice with indices and financial maths, rather than just guessing through tasks.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled to focus for more than ten minutes managed an entire lesson on perimeter and area without losing concentration, finishing all assigned questions by herself.

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