A tutor's responsibility I believe is to not only help out the students with their homework, assignments and exams preparation but also be a mentor for them helping them overcome the difficulties faced by them in school, help them to not only make use of their strengths but also accept their weaknesses and make a positive outcome of it. A tutor…

Modern History Tutor Mount Ommaney, QLD
If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for any student is teaching them the complicated thought processes and workings required to come to the right conclusion in any given situation or assessment, not just the conclusion itself. I believe my strengths as a tutor are my people skills and ability to connect and relate with my students,…

The most important thing I can do as a tutor is to encourage the student to do their best and achieve their goals. If their goal is to get straight A's then I will ensure that I do all I can to help them get there. If their goal is to pass or to improve their grades, it is important that I help them do that. I do not want to give them the answers,…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to adapt to their learning style and to be supportive.

The most important part about a tutor is making sure the student understands what they are teaching them. Since every student's way of learning is different, the tutor must be able to adapt to fit those needs. This is why a classroom is a bad environment since not all students reach their full capabilities. But this is why tutoring is perfect…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only instruct, but listen. Tutoring is a beneficial one on one experience, therefore tutoring has opportunities to become specialised for the students benefit. This can be achieved with asking questions such as “How is this content relevant to the student?†or “Does the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is provide an opportunity for the student to thrive. To establish belief in them, as typically students seek out tutoring as they believe they are not 'good' at a subject. Being the one person there that cheers them on is a powerful thing. Providing alternate methods for students to learn is…

The most important thing that a tutor can provide for a student is support and motivation. When a student is struggling, they have low self-efficacy and motivation to engage with the subject.

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.
