I think the most important thing a tutor could do is encourage and help the student build confidence in their ability. Creating a safe space where the student feels heard, supported and respected is a key factor that plays along with an optimistic attitude towards mistakes. Lastly, patience and empathy are highly regarded personal attributes that…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the student is…

I think one of the most important things is friendly behaviour with students. If the tutor gets familiar with students, then students can explain their studies problem. Firstly, I love to take face to face class where I can interact with students and can know their level. Secondly, I always start with basic formulas and then slowly proceeding to…

Provide a stable and consistent source of support in their education, while simultaneously being a person they are under no pressure to impress. Since tutors have no influence over their lives outside of tutoring, students often feel comfortable asking us questions they would feel embarrassed or "dumb" for asking a parent or teacher. Tutors…

A tutor , according to me should be available to the student at all times. They have to respond to the student's enquiries without much lag. Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments. I have had students giving me feedback like I am really patient in clarifying the concepts.…

Inside BanksTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Emily focused on solving quadratic equations, both by factorising and applying the quadratic formula.

For Year 10, Liam worked through boxplots and scatter plots as well as setting up and solving inequalities from worded problems.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Noah practiced simultaneous equations using substitution and solved linear equations, also reviewing how to expand binomials and factorise expressions for his homework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student arrived to a session without having revised older exam topics, relying only on recent classwork and missing out on building deeper recall. As one tutor observed, "She hadn't done any extra revision for her exam since the last session."

In Year 8 maths, another student's written solutions were often messy and lacked clear formatting, which made it hard to spot errors when working through percentage problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner frequently left homework incomplete or incorrect; in-person support led to flawless work, but independent practice remained inconsistent—meaning skills didn't transfer smoothly between settings.

Recent Achievements

One Banks tutor noticed a high school student who used to hesitate with algebra now speaking up during lessons and successfully working through boxplot questions aloud, showing more initiative in problem-solving.

Another older student, initially unsure about study strategies for an upcoming exam, embraced writing steps on cards as memory aids—she now refers back to them without prompting.

In a recent primary session, a younger learner who once waited for hints started using the number line independently for addition tasks and explained his reasoning as he went.

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 Tuggeranong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charles Conder Primary School.
