Psychology Tutor Ultimo, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them to understand basics and inner workings of a topic thoroughly enough that they feel intuition regarding it, and are able to build upon this foundation to further develop ideas independently. My biggest strength as a tutor is my writing ability. I am able to help students…

Psychology Tutor Ashfield, NSW
The most important thing is to be genuine. To have the heart and the passion to explain our hobbies and our knowledge to our future generation. Without genuinity, everything else would not matter. I like to think outside the box. I think creating interesting yet simple scenarios for tutoring would enable students to be alert yet understanding.…

Psychology Tutor Wollstonecraft, NSW
A good tutor should help their student develop a love for what they are learning. When this is done successfully, this has a knock-on effect on the student's results as they are more engaged with the content they are learning. This starts with the tutor being passionate about the content they are teaching and being determined to push the student…

Psychology Tutor Neutral Bay, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is truly understand them. By this I mean understand who they are as a person and as a student. This allows you to achieve clarity on weaknesses, goals, ambitions and drive to understand allowing you to adjust your teaching style and content to align with their preferences. I think my biggest…

Inside St PetersTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Scarlett practised breaking up four- and six-digit numbers in non-standard ways to build place value understanding, and explored how rearranging digits changes number size.

Year 11 student Sam worked through algebra basics, graphing linear equations, and used the law of cosines to solve trigonometry problems involving similar triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ella focused on quadratic equations—factoring and solving—and applied her knowledge to real-world contexts like calculating tax and depreciation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student expressed feeling overwhelmed by multi-step word problems, often unsure how to break them down; as one tutor noted, "she stated that she is often overwhelmed at all the information given to her."

In Year 10, missing key details in finance and algebra questions led to incomplete answers—skipped questions on a practice test remained unattempted until prompted.

For Year 11, not reviewing all test topics resulted in missed easy marks in rates and ratios, simply because those areas were set aside.

When reading exam questions too quickly in senior years, students lost points from overlooked instructions or misapplied formulas.

Recent Achievements

In Year 11, Kiera had struggled to confidently set up algebraic equations, but she filled out an entire interest table on her own after just a bit of prompting—she even tackled several practice test questions she'd previously avoided and got half of them right without guessing.

Raphael (Year 7) used to need help for every step with algorithms; now he completes most questions solo and explains his reasoning clearly when asked.

Meanwhile, Scarlett in Year 3 has started asking how to spell unfamiliar words instead of skipping them, showing new initiative during writing tasks.

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 St Peters / Sydenham Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peters Public School.
