English Tutor Fadden, ACT
Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

To ensure that the student understands everything fully. That is what a tutor is for, and no concept or idea should be left unturned.

I also use down-to-earth…

I believe the way a concept is framed is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. My Year 11 and 12 Maths Teacher, Mr Rocks, would always explain to our class how different people's brains work in different ways (e.g. geometrically, analytically) so while one concept might make a lot of sense to the tutor/teacher, the way…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently.

Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is without a doubt making them love the material.

Inside FyshwickTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Muhammad worked on crafting a collaborative crime fiction podcast, including character profiling and drafting scenes, while also reading and answering comprehension questions for "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas."

Year 8 student Ari focused on statistics by interpreting box-and-whisker plots, identifying outliers, and practicing data representation with dot plots and column graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 3 student Josh completed an English reading assessment and tackled basic NAPLAN-style math problems to build foundational skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student deleted a full essay after the teacher required a new format, but did not send a revised draft for feedback—"he may have been pressed for time or reluctant to share," noted the tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 maths student repeatedly forgot to bring homework, impacting their ability to review concepts between lessons.

For Year 9 statistics, messy written work and skipped steps in finding outliers led to confusion during class discussion.

In senior English (Year 12), an unstructured approach to essay planning left responses underdeveloped and difficult to edit before deadlines.

Recent Achievements

One Fyshwick tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with graphing linear equations now confidently using both elimination and substitution methods after targeted step-by-step guidance.

In Year 8 English, a student who was hesitant to ask questions about essay structure has begun sending through drafts independently and actively seeking feedback, showing new initiative in his writing process.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to rush reading comprehension is now taking time to back up answers with text evidence, pausing to explain reasoning before moving on.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Narrabundah Early Childhood School.
