I believe every student has the potential to succeed but sometimes requires positive influence to an individualised approach of teaching. Therefore, as a tutor, the most important thing for me is to motivate my students and increase their confidence by establishing strong bonds with them and foster a compassionate and well-structured learning…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help increase their confidence of a subject through directly increasing their knowledge and understanding of the subject. My strengths as a tutor are that I am patient which allows students to understand and learn at their own pace. In addition to this I believe adaptability is…

I believe that a tutor can serve as a source of inspiration, not only by exemplifying excellence in their subject area but also by demonstrating key qualities such as determination and resilience throughout their academic journey. Most importantly, a tutor is someone whom students can look up to for guidance and support, capable of effectively…

The most important role of tutors is to help and see their students achieve their academic goals. This is done by being disciplined, committed, and compassionate towards the student's learning. When tutors meet students they need to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of concern. Tutors need to identify these for their student(s) and…

Guiding them and showing them how to learn!

The most important thing would be being able to be flexible in your teaching strategy so that a kid who may not have understood the concept, understands it in a different way. Being able to do this without losing your temper at a kid who doesn't understand is an underappreciated skill according to me because usually people think of it as more…

Set them on the right path. Helping them to understand concepts and develop skills (rather than just doing things for them) will mean that they can go on to use these skills themselves. This is very important for exam-taking. Communication. I ask for their input and check that they understand what I'm saying. I am patient and will explain a…

A tutor should be very patient and let the student learn in his/her own pace. A tutor must develop a friendly professional relationship with the student, help him/her focus on the weak points, and provide continuous encouragement and support.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to walk side by side with them. Although it is a certain subject that we teach to our students, it would be a shame if we just left it at that. I believe that tutors should walk with their students past just the subject, teaching them life skills as well. My biggest strength as a tutor…

The most important thing as a tutor is to put yourself in the student's shoes and make sure they are learning and taking in something useful after every session. This makes the most out of their time and also helps to make them more confident in their studies, which also builds trust between the student and tutor which is key to making them…

Local Reviews

Georgia is happy with Kelvin. She is very shy and so it is great that she feels comfortable with him.
Deb, Beecroft

Inside NormanhurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Emily revised trigonometry and bearings, then practiced applying graph algorithms to real-world network problems.

For Year 10, Ethan focused on algebraic factorisation and substitution skills, working through targeted homework exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia explored organic chemistry by learning the rules of nomenclature and identifying structural isomers using molecular diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student frequently left homework incomplete, saying "I didn't understand the questions," which meant lesson time was spent revisiting old material rather than building new skills.

In Year 7 algebra, confusion with variables led to missed steps when rearranging equations—one tutor observed, "she wrote 5–y instead of y–5."

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student often forgot times tables and hesitated with subtraction problems that involved borrowing; skipping written working increased small errors.

After missing homework or sessions, several students needed extra revision just to recall previously covered concepts—progress stalled while they regained lost ground.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Normanhurst recently saw some encouraging changes across different students.

One Year 10 student, who used to be at the bottom of his class, proudly reported he came 2nd in a recent test after working through word problems and algebra with much more independence than before.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student started making her own mindmaps for Biology revision—something she hadn't tried previously—and now applies concepts confidently without much prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once needed frequent help finished her regular homework on her own 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 Hornsby Shire Library & Information Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Normanhurst Public School.
