Antonio
Tutor Illawong, NSW
A tutor has to be understanding and respectful to the student that they are teaching, they need to realise that these individuals don't have the same level of knowledge as them at the time, so they need time to learn and understand difficult concepts and that require more explanation. The key is to build a strong healthy and friendly relationship…

Being kind and really listening to what they say to you is also essential, as you don't want them to feel like they can't talk to you, as this will result in…

Patience is vital for students of all ages and skill-levels. The best thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient with them in order to accommodate their strengths alongside their weaknesses. Simply 'teaching' is not enough for a student given their tutor lacks patience for them. With many years as an instructor under my belt, my…

Tutors can provide a one-on-one situation where they're able to realise the students weaknesses and target those areas. They can also be someone else for the students to ask questions where they may be too shy or unable to during a large classroom environment. Tutoring can also help reinforce content that students learnt that day or week. I am a…

A tutor must primarily be a supporter of their student.

Inside EngadineTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Olivia focused on double-digit multiplication and solving word problems involving time conversions.
For Year 10, Jack worked through algebraic expressions using BIDMAS rules and practiced applying percentages to real-life scenarios.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah tackled Critical Path Analysis by interpreting network diagrams and also completed practice questions on annuities from past HSC papers.
Recent Challenges
A Year 9 student hesitated to attempt questions independently during sessions, only engaging after repeated prompting—"I had to encourage her before she'd try new problems," a tutor noted. This made it difficult for her to check her understanding of algebra and percentages in real time.
In Year 11 English, another student's writing lost coherence because they ignored their own plan and struggled with structuring arguments when stuck for ideas; missed full stops crept into their short answers.
Meanwhile, one Year 12 student often left homework incomplete or failed to specify revision needs, leading to less targeted practice ahead of exams.
Recent Achievements
One Engadine tutor noticed a real shift in a Year 11 student who, after struggling with exam mistakes in the past, now pinpoints where she went wrong and actively corrects her approach for next time.
In Year 9 maths, another student who used to avoid asking for help now openly requests clarification when stuck, especially on tricky algebra problems.
A younger student in Year 4 recently surprised their tutor by choosing to tackle long division independently—a big step up from needing prompts just a few weeks ago—and finished all ten problems without errors.
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 Engadine Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Engadine Public School.
