I think the most important thing for a tutor is to understand what the student needs and work through those blocks with positive reinforcement. Some students have a hard time understanding concepts while others have no faith in themselves and struggle to retain information. I believe that the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to figure…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe and supportive space where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Learning can be intimidating, especially when someone is struggling, so it’s crucial that a tutor builds trust and encourages curiosity without judgment. When a student feels safe…

Psychology Tutor Marsden Park, NSW
Patience is an essential quality required from a tutor as it is important to acknowledge that every student has a different level of understanding and approach towards their studies, and thus the best method of maximising their understanding is to tailor our teaching methods to motivate their learning and provide an encouraging learning…

Inside OakhurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 Omar focused on revising non-linear equations with targeted worksheet practice and began planning his English discursive essay on Pleasantville by analysing key film scenes.

Year 9 students tackled algebraic techniques such as expanding and simplifying expressions, as well as solving equations using addition and subtraction.

Meanwhile, Year 6 covered perimeter and area of composite shapes, applying area formulas to multi-step geometry problems for greater confidence.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, messy book work and skipped working out were common—one tutor observed, "he needs to write neater and show working out," especially during algebra tasks.

A Year 10 student's focus drifted frequently; sessions on geometry saw time lost to doodling or unrelated conversation rather than practicing formulas.

In upper primary, an otherwise strong performer sometimes misplaced worksheets or left papers disorganized after fraction lessons, as noted: "start organising her book work properly either hard copy or soft copy."

These habits often led to confusion when revisiting topics or checking for mistakes in later sessions.

Recent Achievements

During an Oakhurst tutoring session, a high school student began asking questions when confused, instead of skipping problems as he used to. This new habit helped him tackle area and statistics tasks with more independence.

Another high schooler who often relied on a calculator for basic operations was able to complete multiplication and addition in his head, showing clear growth in mental maths skills.

In primary, Scarlett showed determination by attempting tricky four-digit problems on her own before checking her answers, demonstrating a real shift toward self-correction.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richard Johnson Anglican College.
