I believe that personalisation is what sets apart a tutor from an effective teacher. Students should initially be analysed for their approach to questions, personal goals and grievances to adroitly construct a program for them to adapt to. Consistency can further this notion and assist the student in improving their grades. My Strengths as a tutor…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student to be fostering a supportive learning environment, personalizing the learning experience, and encouraging independence. Creating a supportive environment where students feel safe to express their difficulties and ask questions is crucial for their confidence and growth.…

The most important thing is to drive their learning process and help them understand key concepts through a medium conducive to their learning style. Its also by creating a safe environment where the student feels like they can ask you any question without fear, as this sometimes is not possible in a classroom or group setting I am very patient,…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to what they are asking, and targeting their weak areas within the prospective subject. By doing so the tutor should aim to tailor each lesson accordingly. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my perseverance, clarity when explaining concepts, the ability to identify a…

Students are often scared of certain subjects and avoid facing their problems. For a tutor to be successful at his/her job, they need to be able to help the child overcome those fears and enjoy the subject they were once afraid of. Tutoring can be very challenging sometimes. However, understanding every child's needs and focusing on helping them…

Listen to their ideas and help them realise how they can be moulded to fit the criteria that is set for them to meet. This is also coming from my own perspective of what I'd expect, as most times teachers impose their ideas on students and they are left alone to not be able to think for themselves. I can explain concepts quite well, and I make…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is serve as a secondary teacher/mentor to a school teacher. As school teachers have to focus on a large class (usually around 30 students), they are unable to address the needs of each student. As each student has their own struggles and needs, an exterior tutor provides…

Tutoring is very different to a typical classroom setting. Each session is unique and solely focused on the one student. This one-to-one learning experience is something many students wouldn’t normally get in a classroom. Naturally, they’ll be able to ask as many questions as they want. As a result, I’ll feel I’m making a real difference…

Everything is going fine at the moment. Jess is happy with Amandi and so am I. She is punctual, gets down business straight away, and keeps in contact with times etc. The good thing is Jess understands what she is saying and Jess said herself, it makes such a difference when it's one on one.

Inside MerrylandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ali worked on understanding mean, median, mode, and range in maths, using school topics as a base.

For Year 8, Emily practised solving simple linear equations and expanded her skills to factorising algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Josh reviewed bivariate data analysis—comparing datasets using scatter plots—and explored correlation and lines of best fit for interpreting real-world trends.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's work in algebra revealed steps were skipped in equation solving, which led to sign confusion and missed errors.

In senior years, a Year 11 learner was observed relying heavily on calculator shortcuts for statistics—familiarity with the function grew, but key working wasn't always shown or checked.

Meanwhile, a primary student's times tables practice remained incomplete, particularly for 6s and 7s; as one tutor put it, "he kept mixing up answers and left several questions unfinished at home."

During a Year 10 assessment task, rushed solutions meant careless notation crept in—answers became harder to follow and feedback less actionable.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Merrylands noted that a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess when stuck now asks for help without hesitation, especially when searching for easier ways to tackle algebra questions.

A Year 8 student, after struggling with equations, recently managed to solve them independently once the method was clarified—something they hadn't done before.

In primary, one younger learner surprised their tutor by reading times tables aloud confidently without needing prompts or checking notes.

Last week, another high schooler chose to break down word problems into steps on their own and started tackling long division with less guidance than usual.

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 Guildford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Margaret Mary's Primary School.
