Prior to anything a tutor must undertand the student's goals and objectives. It is only after this that the tutor should then understand what kind of person the student is, motivational factors behind the interest in learning, and how to communicate more effectively when transfering knowledge. The student's personality is also a key factor to…

1. Help them towards their study milestones so they have an unhindered path towards any given career of choice. 3. Understand something rather than memorising it. I hold this statement in significance. Having studied in different countries I understand the difference in teaching. Tutoring being 1 on 1 or in small groups allows for this. I…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them confidence. As a tutor you are teaching your student how to solve problems, but more importantly allow them to develop their own methods for solving these problems by themselves. I think my best strengths as a tutor are that I am extremely patient and compassionate ,…

I think one of the most important traits a tutor needs is patience. It is not helpful to make the student feel stupid or inadequate and of course each student is unique and learns at a different pace. Patience is pivotal to make the student feel like it is a safe space to ask questions, be willing to rephrase concepts until they understand and…

Listen. I think it is pivotal for a tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence that they have the ability to learn.

I am very patient, kind and empathetic and I…

It is crucial that a tutor be patient with students and understanding of their learning background.

To ensure a student can be tutored effectively, they have to feel open about discussing topics and concepts they do not understand well which can be daunting. Thus, by maintaining a friendly and welcoming personality and relationship as a tutor, students are able to be more open about their weaknesses, allowing for me to tailor myself to their…

Local Reviews

We just wanted to thank Thomas Ban for the wonderful work he has done with Jasmine this year. We feel that she has received these grades due to Thomas tutoring. He has challenged and pushed her to work harder and improve her maths. He is also extremely professional and courteous.

Inside Elanora HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Angelina worked on calculus questions, focusing on resolving small algebra errors in differentiation, and practiced past coordinate geometry problems including function shading.

Year 9 student Max reviewed trigonometry by identifying sides and using ratios for angles, then tackled quadratic equations from practice tests.

For primary level, Year 4 student Sarah concentrated on reading analog clocks to tell the time and practiced multiplication tables for fluency.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, an assignment draft was left until just days before the due date; as one tutor put it, "she let an English draft catch up to her," resulting in unnecessary stress and a rushed product.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 Biology student postponed starting a major table task for three consecutive lessons, only completing it after direct prompting.

In junior high mathematics, one student repeatedly skipped writing out steps when solving algebra problems—leading to confusion with sign errors and missed marks on tests.

A lack of timely revision or feedback use meant mistakes were repeated rather than resolved.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Elanora Heights noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, finally started asking for help the moment she felt stuck on algebra steps—rather than staying quiet and guessing.

In another high school session, a Year 11 student celebrated her agriculture assignment mark jumping by nearly 25% from last term; she tackled it well ahead of the due date this time instead of leaving things to the last minute.

Meanwhile, a younger student is now confidently reading an analog clock independently after needing reminders just a few sessions ago.

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 Mona Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Elanora Heights Public School.
