I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build confidence in them and creating an environment that has no judgement, so that students feel a sense of ease and lack of stress when attempting new problems, content or questions. I also think it is important for a tutor to guide students and assist them to come to their…

When tutoring, it is very important to be patient and understanding. Students may struggle when learning a new concept, and it is imperative that one can sit down with the student and teach the theory step by step in order to ensure that they have a good foundation of understanding. Being flexible is also vital as during high stress times changing…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is the initial process of building a positive relationship with the student. If the student does not feel feel comfortable around the tutor, optimal teaching may not be accomplished. When it comes to education, it is not just a dyadic relationship between tutor and student, parents are a large…

They must be able to explain complicated concepts in a way that 'makes sense' to their student and must be able to do so in a way that inspires their student to want to engage in what they are learning.

I think the most important thing a tutor has to address when teaching a student is identifying where they need to improve and exercising that weakness. That way, the students are able to get a good grasp of the area they struggle with and they can seek further help or work on it for future. I am good at explaining mathematical concepts to the…

I think it is important to show how different problems are related to one another and thus create a network of interconnected ideas rather than having a number of discrete, unrelated ideas. I believe this help reduce the intimidation factor of learning maths as it both improves understanding and reduces the cognitive load by reducing the effective…

A tutor can have a positive impact on the student’s study cycle. Focusing 1 on 1 ensures that the student receives the material in an explained and eased way.

I am very patient and…

Inside Dee WhyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Aidan worked on finding gradients and equations of straight lines as well as interpreting graphs to connect visual data with algebraic rules.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratic equations, using different factorisation methods and completing the square to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan explored circles, hyperbolas, and exponential equations, tackling graph sketching and identifying key features of each curve type.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student found simultaneous equations challenging when only points and gradients were provided; she relied heavily on worked examples rather than practicing independently.

In Year 9, a student's tendency to "go extremely fast through questions" led to missed steps in algebra, as one tutor noted, "needs to slow down and show working."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student hesitated with division tricks—impatience made her guess rather than apply strategies from previous lessons.

For a primary learner tackling times tables, confidence dropped when faced with the unfamiliar 8s and 9s; skipping practice left gaps that slowed progress in multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dee Why noticed a big shift for Morgan (Year 7): she now breaks down tricky compound area problems into smaller shapes without prompting—last term, she'd freeze if it wasn't straightforward.

A Year 10 student recently tackled financial maths and, after previously making frequent errors with formulas, managed to complete a full practice set independently and accurately.

In English, a Year 11 student who used to write vague answers has started linking ideas more clearly in essays and even asked for feedback on structure before submitting her draft.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Kevin's Catholic Primary School.
