I think it is not only important for a tutor to help a student with a particular issue they are having at that moment, but to show them how to effectively address such further issues that may arise in the future. This can be done by teaching efficient and tested study techniques that have proven successful. Additionally, tutors can show students…

A tutor should use as simple language as possible because using fancy language can make them loose interest as they won't know the words. A tutor should involve the students into the discussion so that they don't sleep off during the session. I have a good command over English Language which helps me connect with people so that I can go to the…

A tutor should always be there for the student when it comes to any problems, because the students will always look up to their tutor for advice about studies and other stuff and the tutor should be able to really connect with their student and help them. I am a very good listener and I explain things very easily. I am a very patient tutor and I…

Helping students understand the subject is important, but just as important is making them feel supported and listened to. A tutor should create a safe space where they're not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. I think the most important thing is helping students become independent learners. Giving them the tools and strategies to figure…

The greatest benefit of a tutor is without a doubt, the surgical clarity they can offer a student. In school students are taught in broad strokes by teachers that often don't have the time or the resources to focus on each individual student's needs and struggles. As a tutor, you can identify and address the specific anxieties and weaknesses of a…

I believe that a tutor can provide an educational pathway to a student which is in accordance to their personal needs unlike the monotonous education system at schools. A tutor can personally judge a student's strengths and weaknesses and work with them to maximise the former and minimise the latter. He can both be a teacher who helps the students…

Although I prioritise academic achievement, I will never rule out the significance of developing the "growth mindset" in students. By having the growth mindset, a student will never limit one's potential regardless of their current progress. This attitude not only allows them to be confident academically, but also will exert positive influence in…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is getting to know and understand each specific student in depth. As every person learns differently, it's important for tutors to understand their individual students because this what separates a tutor from a teacher, the personalized teaching style. One of my strengths as a tutor is my…

Deepti has been working with my two boys for the last few terms. Both of my boys have struggled with maths and she has done a fantastic job building their confidence and developing their skills which have improved substantially since she has been working with them.

Inside DocklandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Hamish focused on place value and identifying prime numbers, using practice exam questions for consolidation.

Year 10 student Olivia worked through solving systems of linear equations by elimination and explored the distance formula between two points with visual explanations.

In Year 11, Ethan tackled function modelling with real-world examples (such as insect population growth) and analysed rectangular hyperbolas, including their transformations and asymptotes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student's algebra work showed gaps due to incomplete homework and minimal revision of textbook questions—"she tended to skip the assigned practice," a tutor noted, which left some equation-solving steps unpracticed.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student felt overwhelmed by dense chemistry chapters and sometimes postponed review tasks; this led to confusion during multi-step equilibrium problems, especially when tired after tests.

In Year 4 maths, inconsistent working in times tables caused errors like "3 x 4 = 11."

A Year 12 student avoided asking for feedback on graphing questions, so misconceptions lingered into the next session.

Recent Achievements

One Docklands tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Maya, started their sessions feeling nervous about upcoming biology tests but now prompts herself to review marked work and pushes through practice questions independently—something she used to avoid.

In Year 10 maths, Hamish recently stopped skipping key steps when solving linear equations and inequalities; he now writes out double negatives rather than rushing, which helps him catch mistakes that previously cost marks.

Meanwhile, in primary years, Lola has become noticeably quicker at linking old and new maths topics on her own and has started presenting her solutions with clarity during lessons.

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 Library at the Dock—or at your child's school (with permission), like Haileybury College - City Boys.
