The most important thing to me is the ability of a tutor to care for and listen to a student. The needs of a students is usually known by the student and is always important to not assume what the student needs but pay attention and listen to them. My strengths include being patient and altering my teaching style to suit the learning style of a…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, foster independent thinking, and make learning feel achievable. It’s not just about explaining the content — it’s about creating a space where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and grow. A good tutor helps students develop the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for student is to create an environment in which they feel supported and welcomed. It is key to achieving results that you build a strong rapport with your student. If they feel judged by you and thus do not ask the questions they need to ask, it can stagnate their progress and damage their…

As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can bring to a student is a different perspective on the subject matter they are studying. While teachers and textbooks can be great resources, they often present the material in a standardized and one-size-fits-all way that may not resonate with every student. By providing a different voice…

Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

The most important thing a tutor can do is teach students *how* to learn. By helping them develop strategies and habits that build confidence in their own abilities, we give them the tools to succeed independently - beyond our own sessions. It's about long term growth over short term fixes. One of my strengths is clear communication - both in…

In my view, teacher is the most important person for a student after their parents. School level students spend more time with their teachers than with their parents.

Inside DicksonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Owen focused on algebraic techniques and revising for a test on networks and graph theory, working through assigned school problems and discussing weighted graphs.

In Year 9, Isla spent her lesson reviewing probability concepts like conditional probability using classic real-world scenarios, then practiced with venn diagrams and tree diagrams to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

For primary, Year 5 student Rhys drilled surface area and volume formulas for 3D shapes using flashcards, then addressed mistakes from his recent test by practicing fraction operations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, one student repeatedly needed reminders to recall the basics of reactions (e.g., hydrogen and oxygen forming H₂O), revealing weak retention due to not keeping a science notes book.

Another in Year 9 Mathematics depended heavily on solution formulas and struggled when asked to solve x + x = 6 without reference materials—needs to write working out down, as noted.

In Year 8 Probability, forgetting or confusing algebraic rules made rearranging P(A) + P(not A) = 1 difficult, causing uncertainty mid-question.

These habits led to lost confidence and time spent searching for forgotten facts instead of building deeper understanding.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dickson noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle algebraic expressions now working through expanding brackets and factoring with much less prompting, even recalling the process after just one reminder.

In senior chemistry, another high schooler answered questions on chemical bonding independently—last term, he needed step-by-step help for similar problems.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to guess quietly during reading tasks now speaks up confidently to offer answers and has started reading new passages out loud without waiting for encouragement.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Daramalan College.
