I think the most important thing a tutor can give a student is confidence. This can be done by targeting the student's weaknesses and improving these areas so that the student feels more proficient. Another important thing that a tutor can provide is motivation. This can be done by reassuring and supporting a student through a potentially…

Beyond just helping with grades, I think the most valuable thing a tutor can do is help a student feel capable. Academic skills are important, but confidence and mindset are everything. A tutor should create an environment where it’s okay to ask “silly†questions, make mistakes, and learn at your own pace. At the end of the day, it’s…

One significantly important thing a tutor can do is enhance students' drive for learning. I think that once students find someone who makes studying a fun activity, they will be more enthusiastic in their academics which could aid in shaping their career and future. As I am still a student while having closely related to my tutees struggles, I…

The most important thing a teacher can do for a student is clarifying any and all doubts that a student may have and patiently teaching the student until he/she understands the concept as well as the tutor. I believe my greatest strength as a tutor is having the patience to teach someone younger than myself and the willingness to teach them the…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make that student interested in what they are learning. Although students may not enjoy every aspect of what they're learning, if they can find even one thing that they enjoy, this could be enough. I am patient, determined, and kind to those that I tutor. So, I think that…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is aiding their understanding in their learning. By helping a student understand what they are being taught or what they need help with, it can stimulate their passion within the subject and evoke curiosity about the subject and its applications. I am open-minded and communicative so I…

From my previous tutoring experience, I know that the students are a lot smarter than they give themselves credit for and are just scared that they are wrong, so helping them with their confidence can go a long way in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be able to adapt their teaching style for them. Everybody learns differently, and rather than directly giving away answers to students a tutor should be able to present the problem in a way that the student would be able to understand and learn from the problem. My strength as a tutor is…

The most important thin, in my opinion, is recognising that every student learns differently. A good tutor needs to be flexible and have a deep, well-rounded understanding of the subject so they can explain concepts in different ways, depending on what suits the student best. I come from a family of teachers, so I’ve been surrounded by effective…

As a tutor, I think helping students reach their academic goals is a given, but how one would go about doing that would also reflect on the students. Thus, tutors can also help students develop positive and important qualities that would prepare them for the life beyond school. I would say that I am patient and organised, which are good qualities…

A tutor should support the development of the student, but in the same way do so without making the student over-reliant on the tutor. In this way, the student will be able to maintain their success throughout their whole academic career. They should be patient and willing to explain things from different perspectives, especially if it seems the…

In my opinion, tutors have the responsability to ensure that the students have learned and correctly understood a topic. I always liked the metaphor building a car. A mechanic can tell you how to build it piece by piece but you can not replicate that process unless you have really understood it. In addition, tutors have an important role in…

If a tutor can inspire and transform his student to be better and the student realizes the positive change in him/her and acknowledges it, then the student is on the right track and doesn't need the tutor anymore.

Rosie is tutoring my child in year 7 maths and has built up a great rapport with her. Through my observations I can see that Rosie has a strong understanding of maths and is able to explain ideas and concepts very easily. She has a lot of patience and always checks my daughters understanding and offers alternative explanations where needed. Rosie is always punctual, friendly and polite and I am very happy with the progress that has been made to date.

Inside ZetlandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student William worked on correcting homework covering simple interest and surds, along with catching up missed class content.

For Year 9, revision with Ben focused on dividing and multiplying fractions as well as tackling negative and fractional indices in surds.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Xavier practised converting remainders into decimals, solved word problems, and labelled different types of triangles using diagrams to support understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student left several steps unwritten when tackling algebraic equations, as one tutor noted: "he tried to do everything in his head instead of writing it down." This led to confusion over signs and made errors harder to spot.

In Year 11, incomplete homework meant that basic perfect square practice was missed, so extra time had to be spent revisiting foundational rules rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a primary student working on division often forgot her materials at home, causing delays while searching for worksheets and slowing the start of each session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Zetland noted that William, a Year 10 student, has started attempting every maths question instead of skipping the tough ones—a real shift from earlier sessions when he'd often give up if stuck.

In Year 11, after struggling with surd problems last term, he was able to recall the steps and solve similar questions independently this week, using his own notes for support.

Meanwhile, Elliott (Year 5) used to stay quiet during lessons but now openly talks through his reasoning on each English question and even asks for extra examples when something feels tricky. Last session, he wrote down all his ideas without prompting.

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 Green Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Green Square Public School.
