It depends a little bit on age but the older they get the more important confidence is going to be and giving the students confidence is the most important job. I'm not going to teach a 12 year old a lot more, they have spent years in school and they have all the knowledge they need. The important job of tutor is to make them believe that they…

As a tutor the most important thing I can do to support a students development and progression is to provide an open and encouraging environment. By doing this, I am providing a space where students can be honest about their challenges and feel comfortable asking for help rather than feeling embarrassed to acknowledge when they are struggling to…

It is important that a tutor is able to put themselves in the position of the student, so they can see clearly what it is that the student struggles to understand. A tutor should also be understanding that different students have different ways of learning and that there is not just one way of teaching that suits every student. I am good at…

I think one of the most important things about tutoring is to help students not only understand what they need to do, but also why they need to do it, alongside techniques to perform well in assessments. My biggest strength as a tutor is my ability to explain concepts from the ground up. Because my own understanding of maths and science is built…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build confidence, create clarity, and inspire motivation.

By being patient, encouraging, and consistent, tutors help students feel supported and capable. I also…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to be very clear and not convoluted when explaining topics, equations, etc. to students, as it can be very easy to get intimated as a student and end up confused. I believe it is also important not to assume any knowledge straight away from students but to intentionally ask what it is that they…

I think the most important thing is to encourage a student to be independent and learning how to solve their own problems. So, by not giving them the answers outright but ensuring that they are taught key methods that enable them to solve their own issue is very important especially in the long term. Having patience and attention to explain…

I think that it's really important to be a good listener so that you can use feedback from students to improve your teaching. Not everyone learns in the same way so it's really important to work with each student to find the learning tehniques that work best for them. It's also important to recognise that each student could prefer different…

Local Reviews

Everything is going really well with the tutoring
Anthea, Mount Pleasant

Inside Mount PleasantTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Jack worked on measuring area, length, and perimeter as well as identifying geometric shapes and angles using hands-on examples.

Year 9 Ava explored linear equations and began investigating the properties of parabolas, including graphing curves.

For Year 11 Sam, lessons covered solving simultaneous equations by elimination and applying index laws to simplify algebraic expressions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, missing homework and forgotten classwork meant almost none of the previous lesson's work was retained—"made further teaching difficult," a tutor noted.

A Year 10 student preparing for an algebra test relied on notes instead of memorizing key formulas, slowing progress in rearranging equations.

In Year 11 Chemistry, not writing out working or using back-checking led to repeated errors when practicing stoichiometry and redox reactions.

Another senior maths student avoided showing steps during surds problems; this habit hid mistakes and cost marks on tests.

Confidence dropped after setbacks, especially when feedback wasn't used immediately.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Pleasant noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions; now, she's regularly checking her understanding during lessons and even clarified oxidation numbers without prompting.

In Year 11 maths, another student finally cracked simultaneous equations after weeks of struggle—he worked through several practice problems on his own and spotted his earlier mistakes straight away.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who'd previously hesitated with fractions is now comparing them confidently and finished all her assigned worded questions independently this week.

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 Canning Bridge Express Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Pleasant Primary School.
