Science Tutor Sutherland, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do is make the student passionate about their subject. If the student isn't motivated to learn, no amount of lecturing or assignments will help them. There are so many small things about each subject that are super interesting to learn about, but without the right tutor some students miss out. As a young tutor…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be supportive. Even the students struggling the most always have something they're doing well. The tutors job is to highlight that and develop skills to transfer those proficiencies to other areas of the subject. Furthermore the tutor must be patient. A student is there because they need help and are…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to enable a student with essential skills, both related to subject taught, as well as life skills. In this way, the student can go on to become an independent learner. My strengths are in being able to put myself in the child's shoes and explain the way he/she wants it. My weakness is that I often give…

Being able to listen to what the student thinks and needs is the best way to understand the situation and therefore opt for the best path to follow.

Probably to make sure they understand the underlying material rather than just giving the answers. Helping them through problems, and actually encouraging and motivating them along without just revealing the answers will help develop their problem solving skills, making the next problems easier to overcome.

A tutor must be able to develop and understand a student. A student will need to understand the concept themselves and it is our job to assist them to understand any issues that arise in their development. To put it simply, tutors are guides and the student is the captain. Therefore we must be able to resonate with each student and treat each one…

Tutors can provide a one-on-one situation where they're able to realise the students weaknesses and target those areas. They can also be someone else for the students to ask questions where they may be too shy or unable to during a large classroom environment. Tutoring can also help reinforce content that students learnt that day or week. I am a…

Most tutors forget that students never enjoy tutoring, so it is important to set interesting challenges to keep students motivated and also polishing their skills using unorthodox methods. Too much of the time tutors just read off the textbook and don't provide alternative methods or keep the students' focus on their work. I believe the students…

Jaydens first lesson with Jusjit went very well.

Inside Port HackingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Thomas explored addition and subtraction, practiced reading time on clocks, and identified common shapes.

In Year 8, Olivia revised angle relationships such as co-interior, alternate, and corresponding angles using diagrams, before moving to supplementary and complementary pairs.

For Year 10, Sophie focused on trigonometry—applying Pythagoras' Theorem to word problems and solving for unknowns in right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, a student often rushed through problem-solving, leading to missed steps—one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 12 ancient history, another found that not collecting sources as she learned made it harder to recall evidence for essays later on.

For a Year 8 class, messy handwriting—"the number 8 can look like a 6"—caused confusion and calculation errors.

Meanwhile, in Year 5 maths, a reluctance to write out conversion methods resulted in repeated mistakes when switching between units.

Each habit led to avoidable setbacks during lessons or assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Port Hacking tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on geometry questions—last session, he confidently combined methods to find missing angles and solved a multi-step problem using supplementary angles without needing hints.

In Year 11, Maiee has moved from just listing facts to connecting sources with essay questions and applying different historical perspectives when discussing conservation issues, something she previously found daunting.

A younger student who was hesitant about maths now asks for help as soon as she's unsure and surprised herself by finishing all ten addition problems without errors.

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 Caringbah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lilli Pilli Public School.
