The most important thing a tutor can do is to cause a positive change in their students, whether it be an improvement in their grades, or a development in their learning skills. For a tutor's knowledge to successfully translate into a student and cause them to grow is the best thing a tutor can do. Patience, communication skills, problem solving,…

It is essential to maintain a good rapport with the student so they feel comfortable around you and feel that they can openly ask you questions. Therefore, creating a positive environment which the student is happy to engage in…

The most important thing a tutor can do is empower a student by making them believe in their ability. My strengths are that I can empathise with students as I have been in their positions. In addition, I believe I have a strength in clear communication, which is important because that helps me explain solutions to students and help them understand…

In my personal opinion, I believe a game-changer for students is to have a tutor who helps build their confidence. Rather than only imparting knowledge, a tutor should foster a learning atmosphere that makes students comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes and even question the knowledge of the tutor. My strengths as a tutor include the…

I had a tutor in high school for my VCE studies. I learned that a tutor must be a supportive figure that guides their student with compassion and patience. The demeanor of my tutor relived the stress of studying and gave me the confidence to attempt difficult problems that I would have given up on. Students at any year level will often feel…

Being accepting of any & all questions in a friendly and non-judgmental manner, so as to make sure the student feels comfortable asking such questions, because otherwise it would defeat the purpose of being tutored. I also think that it's vital for the tutor to give their students the best chance at being able to succeed with their own ability…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are listening carefully, being patient and identifying that not all students are the same. A strategy that may work wonders for one student could not be useful for another student. Being able to employ different strategies to different students is a key aspect of being a great tutor. My…

Tutors need to be understanding and patient while knowing that students may not have the required knowledge to solve a simple question quickly. They may also have knowledge gaps which the tutor will need to discover and revise with the student for their question solving ability to improve. So most importantly, a tutor needs to ensure students are…

The most important thing is to support their learning. For example, when I ask a student to do a question and they are struggling, I wouldn't give them the steps but remind them of what to do and possibly where to start. It is important for student's to be able to develop problem solving skills and be independent with their learning. Being patient…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to approach learning in a way that is self sufficient.

I am patient, persistent and…

Inside Peakhurst HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Charlotte practised area and surface area calculations for both simple and composite shapes, using visual examples to support understanding.

Year 8 student Josh focused on solving linear equations and working with indices in the context of fractions, also touching briefly on geometry concepts.

For Year 10 student Mia, sessions covered financial mathematics including both simple and compound interest problems, along with strategies for breaking down worded exam questions into step-by-step solutions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, one student's written work was described as "messy and hard to follow," particularly during algebraic manipulation; this made it easy for small sign errors to go unnoticed until the very end.

A Year 10 student, despite a strong grasp of trigonometric basics, struggled with multi-step problems because they rarely practiced challenging questions—preferring only familiar drills.

Meanwhile, in Year 6, a learner relied heavily on mental calculations instead of writing steps out, leading to frequent mistakes in surface area problems. "Mental maths is a huge time killer," their tutor observed after several sessions spent correcting basic multiplication slips rather than advancing.

Recent Achievements

One Peakhurst Heights tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who had struggled with algebraic expansion; by the end of their session, she was confidently working through problems that had previously tripped her up.

Another high schooler, after several sessions on trigonometry, began attempting more challenging questions independently and even requested extra examples to solidify new rules—something he hesitated to do before.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student who used to stay quiet now speaks up when unsure and takes notes on tricky steps so she can revisit them during homework.

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 Penshurst Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Georges River College Peakhurst Campus.
