The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only teach them the content, but also to teach them good study habits and revision practices that will equip them to do better in school. I think my tutoring strengths are my patience and my explaining ability, I have 3 younger sisters who I have always helped out with their…

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…

The number one thing I could do as a tutor is ignite a passion for academics and school in every student.

A passion gives student direction makes learning fun and is the true key to success. Through a positive attitude and…

I believe that supporting a student emotionally is important for tutors. Oftentimes, academics and grades become the priority - however, emotional and mental wellbeing is important. A tutor who is invested in the student's wellbeing and acts in their best interests, such as by gauging their level of stress and lending a helping hand when they are…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do is be trusted by the student and beneficially help the student with lots of positive reinforcement rather than condescendingly negatively motivating them. Within this, it is important to create a supportive environment where the student can admit they still don't understand a topic, so that the…

More important than the marks or goals - in my opinion - is the development of confidence in the students ability to connect and understand the learning process of being unable to do something, setting goals, working, and ultimately learning the skill/content.

Local Reviews

Things are going really well. Kai enjoys Noah's tutoring. On his last math's assessment he received 80% in comparison to the one before which was 55%. I met with his math's school teacher and she has provided upcoming topics for Noah to discuss with Kai as well as 2 practice tests. Her feedback was positive too and constructive. If we stay on this path, I'm confident that it will prepare him well for the upcoming HSC.

Inside WilloughbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Aiden focused on fractions and percentages, building confidence through practical problem sets.

For Year 9, Grace revised index laws—applying them to simplify expressions—and explored how to convert between roots and indices using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled advanced probability questions and practiced working with random variables and probability distribution functions for his mathematics course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled with revision because old notes hadn't been reviewed, which led to confusion over index laws and difficulty simplifying complex algebraic expressions—"he wasn't sure when to use (a^m)^n = a^(mn)," as noted in the session.

In Year 7, unfinished assigned work meant new percentage topics weren't practiced enough for speed.

For a senior Physics student, not specifying help areas clearly made it harder to target gaps in understanding during tutorials.

Meanwhile, an English student avoided dialogue writing tasks, limiting progress in developing character depth and narrative tension within creative pieces.

Recent Achievements

One Willoughby tutor recently noticed Kristina, a Year 12 student, overcoming her initial overwhelm with Advanced Mechanics by stepping back to strengthen her trigonometry skills—she now tackles those foundation questions without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Cael in Year 7 shifted from needing frequent prompting during writing sessions to experimenting independently with dialogue and building character profiles for stories.

In primary school, Aylin moved from passive participation to actively engaging in lessons and now attempts every question on her own initiative; last session, she completed all addition and subtraction tasks without waiting for guidance.

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 Castlecrag Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Willoughby Public School.
