It is essential for tutors to build a good rapport and advance students' growth and success. I'm organised and have strong time-management skills, which are important…

Science Tutor Jamisontown, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to understand how a student learns and behaves, then processes information and implement teaching strategies accordingly to these behaviours. Creating a safe and positive environment for learning is imperative to a student's ability to properly process information as motivation is a key…

A tutor should provide a student with a platform to achieve the results they desire. This may involve providing students with the knowledge they need to understand topics, challenging their abilities or providing motivation for the student to work and be productive. It is also necessary to help the student understand the effort they put into their…

The most important thing a teacher in general can do for a student is to cultivate a positive mindset that they have the potential to do anything. It is a way of teaching them to believe in themselves. I believe teaching is more than just conveying information. A teacher has the power to mold a child's life. Hence as a teacher, it is crucial to…

Provide value for the student. The student has signed up in the first place as they require help. Thus, as a tutor, I would want to provide that help to them in a personalised way such that it makes clear sense to them on the topic being taught. Communication with a younger audience.

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be friendly and make sure they feel welcome. It's also important to make sure the student is understanding the content and if they aren't to reiterate the points or try to teach them in another way. My strengths as a tutor are that I am highly organised and prepared, I am very…

I consider confidence to be the most important thing I can give to a student as I believe every student has the capability of doing well in any subject, but belief in themselves is needed. Upon starting year 11, I really struggled at chemistry, majorly. But thankfully I had the best tutor that pushed me and gave me the drive & self-belief to…

Firstly identifying the student's various strengths and areas of improvement is very significant to give a general idea of which topics to focus/skills on the most whilst teaching them. Another key area that a tutor should investigate further is the student's most effective way of learning specific concepts e.g. visual, written, auditory etc. A …

Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Help them gain interest in what they're trying to study/learn. The problem with kids not wanting to learn isn't because the subject is hard, usually it's because they have no interest in the subject whatsoever. There's always a way to show someone the appeal of every single subject. It can be hard but it's very possible and many teachers and…

Inside Mount RiverviewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Daniel worked on interpreting and creating stem-and-leaf plots, then practiced identifying the mean, median, and mode using small data sets.

In Year 8, Alexia focused on simplifying algebraic expressions by both multiplying and dividing terms as well as tackling worded problems involving ratios with fractions and decimals.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mark revised financial maths by calculating taxable income and GST through worksheet practice to prepare for his upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, revision outside of lessons was often missed—this led to concepts like tax calculations and measurement bounds being forgotten by the next session.

As one tutor observed, "she still needs to work on calculating taxable income and Medicare levy to become more confident."

In Year 8, skipping regular review meant difficulty recalling methods for algebraic expressions; errors crept in when sign conventions weren't double-checked.

A Year 3 student's messy letter formation made it hard to distinguish between 'j' and 'i', causing hesitation during reading tasks.

These habits left students retracing old ground instead of moving forward with new material.

Recent Achievements

A Mount Riverview tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now speaks up when stuck, especially during algebra lessons—she recently tackled dividing equations after expressing her confusion and then completed the task on her own.

In Year 10, another student moved from making errors in percentage calculations to accurately converting fractions and decimals into percentages using different strategies without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary learner has shifted from guessing words when reading aloud to pausing and sounding out unfamiliar ones, showing patience where he used to rush through.

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 Blaxland Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Riverview Public School.
