The most important thing as a tutor is acknowledging their strength and weaknesses and using them to improve their academic skills. Also allowing the students to know that it's ok to make mistakes, that's why tutors are here to help. Easy to communicate and open to any type of conversations. I can break things down into primary school language to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them the material in a way that makes sense to that student. There are multiple different types of learners and it is vital for a tutor to explore other methods of teaching the subject matter, so the student may have the best chance at understanding and retaining the subject matter. I…

In my opinion, a teacher must always be willing to learn those concepts for his students which they want to know. Also , a teacher must even provide them with some learning methods so that they can get grasp over any topic easily. Moreover, a teacher must always motivate a student and help him to think out of a box. Apart from that, teacher can…

I think that a tutor shouldn't just rote teach a student problems so that they can pass exams, this leads to little useful learning on the students part.

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.

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.
