One of the important that a tutor can do for a student is being a good listener. Before heading towards the subject content the tutor needs to listen to their students. We need to know their mood and level of understanding in order to continue. There is no use in continuing with the subject if the student doesn't understand anything, so the tutor…

The most valuable duty of a tutor is to focus on the holistic development of a student, allowing them to be persistent, independent and problem-solving to tackle any academic or life challenge. My strengths are my simplistic and analogy-based approach to explaining concepts, and my emphasis on exam technique that allows students to feel…

Tutors must build the confidence of their students - they can't just teach them the content and expect them to be able to do it on their own - its more than that. A good tutor needs to build the childs confidence so they know they can answer a question. I can do this, I am the type of tutor that wants to support students to do their best and to…

Adapt to their needs. As a tutor, your job is to assist in their learning experience, and get growth from the student. There is no one way to teach that is effective for everyone. I believe that my biggest strength is understanding the learning styles of my students. Some are more visual learners, some are more verbal, and some just require…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to have them gain confidence with themselves in terms of excelling in school.

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a comfortable and supportive environment where the student feels confident to ask questions and make mistakes.

Inside Five DockTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Charlotte worked through trigonometry and measurement problems, including Pythagoras' theorem and calculating area and volume for her upcoming exam.

Year 10 student Angelique revised expanding and factorising algebraic expressions as well as tackled percentage-based problem solving to prepare for half-yearly assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Blake focused on narrative planning exercises before writing a short story using his plan, also practicing reading comprehension with summary questions from short texts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student's working out was difficult to follow—steps weren't clearly shown, which made it hard for the marker to understand her process and spot where errors occurred. "She knows how to answer the questions, it is just about showing the marker how she got to her answer," a tutor observed after reviewing algebra exercises.

Meanwhile, in Year 5 English, homework completion has become inconsistent; missing weekly tasks led to gaps in reading comprehension practice.

During a timed selective school writing task in Year 7, another student lost focus mid-way and left several sections unfinished—confidence seemed to dip when challenged by unfamiliar prompts.

Recent Achievements

One Five Dock tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with calculus now confidently working through differentiation problems, clearly showing each step and explaining how she tested the nature of stationary points.

In English, a Year 10 boy recently submitted his creative writing on *Of Mice and Men*—not only did he capture the novel's style, but for the first time handed in his draft on time after weeks of late submissions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once hesitated to ask for help during reading tasks is now referring back to her book whenever unsure, summarising key events accurately without prompting.

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 Five Dock Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Five Dock Public School.
