I think providing valuable insights and preparation is one thing, but having a set out progression plan for them is the best way to ensure success for the student. We can't squeeze a whole chapter or page worth of content in one or two sessions but we can tailor it better. I'm a great communicator and I know that sounds very generic but I can…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim.
But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve.
That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

Inside DarraTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Asher practised working with ratios and dividing by 10, 100, and 1000, as well as performing division that results in answers to two decimal places.
In Year 9, Mia focused on solving simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, alongside revising probability concepts through practical examples.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam tackled quadratic equations by learning how to factorise using the complete-the-square method and interpreted piecewise functions by sketching graphs and discussing their domains.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student often attempted to sketch graphs in her head rather than working through the process on paper; as a tutor observed, "she finds herself trying to draw the graph in her head instead of organising her thoughts on paper," which led to avoidable inaccuracies.
In senior Chemistry, one student repeatedly left homework incomplete and rarely reviewed key definitions or formulas between lessons—this resulted in forgetting crucial terms like "dissociation" and confusion over when to apply certain calculations.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner's unorganised approach meant regularly misplacing notes and missing due dates, causing last-minute stress before assignments.
Recent Achievements
One Darra tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling algebraic application questions now independently applies the product-sum method to factorise even trickier expressions—last session, she finished a challenging set without asking for hints.
In senior chemistry, another high schooler who previously mixed up stoichiometry steps is now confidently balancing complex equations and distinguishing between mono- and diprotic acids on her own.
Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often guessed at word problems has begun pausing to draw diagrams first; last week, he set up his distance–time equation himself before checking with the tutor.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School.
