The most important thing a tutor can do is build a students confidence. As the tutor and student can only have a limited time together it is most important for the students confidence and independence to be built. The tutor should act as a firm support but shouldn't keep their students dependent on them. Coming from a physical education background…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to empower students to become independent learners. This involves building confidence, critical thinking skills, and resilience during challenges. It is about giving tools to approach problems with curiosity and determination, even when they are outside their comfort zone. A tutor should also create…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student how to approach problems and questions on their own, such that they are not dependent on anyone when they encounter a difficult problem in the future. For example, to teach them how to look at a problem in many different ways, to reverse the problem and work…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach material in such a fashion that it makes the subject enjoyable for a tutee. This will allow the student to be more positive and motivated to working harder for a subject, but more importantly, it reframes their mindset to see the work they must do as less of a burden and more as a…

A student seeks a tutor in the hopes of improving their academia and however big or small these improvements are, a tutor most ensure that the student learns. The tutor is providing a paid service and the student has the expectations that they will improve. So it is within the tutor's responsibility to achieve these expectations as reasonably as…

I consider one the most important things is to be really attentive towards the students needs and questions. The last thing you'd want is to have a tutor who doesn't listen or play close attention, and consequently struggle to explain the concepts in an effective way for the student to understand. You need to be patient and attend to the needs of…

A tutor to a student is like a mother to their child; rather than being a human textbook, tutors have important roles in listening to the student's needs and wellbeing. Whilst grades are important, tutors guide students on how to effectively overcome challenges both academically and for problems in life. As a tutor, I tailor my teaching to the…

As simple as it may sound, the most crucial duty a tutor must do is teach and not just teach the simple topic, but to face it with a vast amount of understanding and various methods. In fact, learning multiple ways to approach a problem will assure a robust understanding of the subject. I strongly believe that making the student focus and tackle…

Inside ThornleighTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tahlia focused on calculating percentage increase and decrease, including real-life applications like mark up, cost price, and discounts, completing extra questions from her test book for practice.

Year 9 student Malissa worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and revisited the topic of surface area with targeted review based on her recent test feedback.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Hayes practiced division with remainders and applied BODMAS rules to fraction problems, before touching on area calculations for squares, rectangles, and circles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for linear regression relied heavily on calculator methods without showing working, which made it harder to spot small errors or check understanding.

In a Year 8 English session, Ryan received feedback on his writing but did not act on it before the next lesson; as noted, he did not put the feedback into practice yet, so similar issues reappeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student sometimes mixed up units and tens columns in multiplication, leading to off-track answers. This meant time was spent correcting basics instead of advancing to new skills.

Recent Achievements

A Thornleigh tutor recently noticed a big shift in Tahlia, a high school student who used to hesitate when she got stuck—she's now actively asking questions and working through tricky algebra problems instead of giving up.

Another win came from Ashton, also in high school, who scored 93% on his term test after weeks of focused revision; he tackled log, trigonometry, and simultaneous equations confidently this time.

Meanwhile, Hayes in primary school showed real diligence by completing all his assigned maths problems before moving on to extra challenges during their session.

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 Pennant Hills Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Thornleigh West Public School.
