Take an interest in them. Make sure they know that you care about them, their success and their learning. I think that I am able to keep the classes relaxed and get the students comfortable with me as a tutor. I want them to feel that they are my friend so that they can express their concerns and doubts. I think that I do that well. I make the…

In my experience there are parts of courses that a student can not or would not understand on their own, however through my assistance to understand road blocks in course content and as a result help resolve and navigate them to me is the most important aspect of the job. I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging and…

A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

A tutor needs to listen to a student, to understand what the best methods of learning will be, and needs to adapt their teaching to work for any student, rather than just forcing a student into a single mindset. I explain things very carefully, with multiple ways of looking at something, so I am quite flexible in trying to work with a student. I…

Inside GlendaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emily explored hydrocarbons and the IUPAC system for naming organic molecules, working through examples of structural formulas.

For Year 12, Jayden tackled HSC Physics by breaking down the photoelectric effect and Einstein's postulates, then practiced detailed responses to long-answer exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Chloe focused on financial maths key terms and applied the simple interest formula using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Chemistry, a student's written responses to HSC-style questions were described as "too shallow," with notes highlighting a need for greater depth and clearer structure.

One Year 10 student, when faced with algebraic equations, often skipped showing working—"she needs to make sure she thoroughly reads the questions, write out the equations she is going to use and checking over answers"—which led to repeated errors in expanding and factorising.

Another senior student had difficulty organizing revision effectively before exams; missed practice opportunities left them less confident interpreting formula-based problems under time pressure. These patterns left valuable marks unclaimed during assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Glendale tutor noticed that a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now openly requests help when stuck, which means she's tackling more challenging chemistry questions without shutting down.

A Year 9 student has started writing out every step while solving worded maths problems—a shift from his old habit of skipping ahead and getting lost—which led him to independently interpret multi-step questions by the end of their session.

In Year 7 maths, a student who used to guess at equations can now expand brackets correctly on her own and even asked for extra practice with negative numbers.

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 Cardiff Library, kuram—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glendale East Public School.
