Science Tutor Mayfield, NSW
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…

Promote an excitement to learn. I think if a tutor can make the students feel motivated by the learning process, the content of their subjects becomes easier to digest and contextualise I am an excellent communicator, allowing me to understand the roadblocks that a student may be facing in their learning.

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…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention. Only when they felt attended to, be it serious work or not, they will start listening but, also educating them about priorities. As well as having the patience to tackle the questions one at a time. Strengths: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

As we all know, learning should not be restricted to getting good marks in any institution or to memorising lists of facts. The most important things that can be given are the motivation and ability to keep finding things out for oneself (and to fact check new information without relying on AI or internet rumour). Seeing and approaching topics…

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…

I am so amazed at how responsive my son is with Jason. we have had a lot of trouble getting him engaged in learning to the point where I now believe Jason is a miracle. Big thank you.

Inside MaryvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler worked through adding and subtracting decimals, rounding numbers, and practiced fraction operations using his maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam.

For Year 10, Jessica focused on finding the domain and range of functions and was introduced to simultaneous equations by solving examples step-by-step.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily revised area and volume calculations for composite shapes and practiced changing the subject of an equation using guided algebraic manipulation.

Recent Challenges

Several process habits are limiting progress across different year levels.

In Year 7, one student's maths workbook was "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year," making it harder to revisit or learn from past mistakes.

A Year 10 student, after a tough practice test, lost confidence and began mixing up processes—she "got a little confused with which processes to use and got them mixed up often."

In senior years, over-reliance on formulas persists: as noted in financial maths, "Liz is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula" instead of reasoning through unfamiliar worded questions.

Recent Achievements

One Maryville tutoring session saw a high school student, Liz, take the lead in revising challenging normal distribution questions; she confidently explained her reasoning to the tutor and debated answers—an impressive shift from earlier hesitance to speak up.

In another case, Danika, also in high school, recently completed her maths assignment early and used her own notes page for study; when reviewing practice problems, she quickly identified which formulas to use without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student named Lara has started trying out division strategies by herself instead of waiting for hints and recalled previous lesson content accurately during review.

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 Hamilton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tighes Hill Public School.
