English Tutor Kaleen, ACT
I think the most important thing about tutoring is not about sharing knowledge, but about sharing my passion for the subjects with the students because when I was a high school student, I was lost and did not know what to do or why I was studying those subjects, then my private mentor inspired me with his passion for the subjects (maths and…

Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are: helping to empower them to improve their results in their chosen subjects through listening to their concerns and working through them in a step-by-step manner. Tutors should encourage students to be independent and to take responsibility for their work through the provision of…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is to step back wherever they can. Tutoring is not giving all the answers or fixing all the problems, but rather it is about setting the framework for students to learn skills and techniques to solve academic problems themselves. Tutoring is about guidance, as opposed to metaphorically…

The most important thing I can do for a student is fill in the gaps that the teacher can't. Teachers aren't able to modify the way they teach for every individual student, as an english tutor I can do that. I am good at helping people understand concepts that are difficult to understand. I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other…

The most important thing an english tutor can do is teach students *how* to learn. By helping them develop strategies and habits that build confidence in their own abilities, we give them the tools to succeed independently - beyond our own sessions. It's about long term growth over short term fixes. One of my strengths is clear communication -…

I think communication with your student is important. As an english tutor, you can not force a student to do things your way, so it's important to be able to compromise and help them with what they think is important so they don't lose interest in a subject, whether it is a struggling student or one that wants to excel. By involving them in the…

I believe that the most important thing that an english tutor can do for a student is to allow the student to feel free to ask questions and to query explanations. This way, it allows for me to answer their initial query as well as giving me the opportunity to proactively infer other areas that they may not completely understand. My strengths are…

Inside GiralangTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam worked on converting measurements between units like metres and litres, then practiced algebra skills such as using pronumerals and indices.

In Year 9, Angus revised factorising quadratic equations with the sum-product method and began solving quadratics using both substitution and elimination techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Atiana focused on exponential and logarithmic functions, including graphing these functions to deepen her understanding of their properties.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion has been an ongoing issue for a Year 6 student; recent notes repeatedly highlight that work is not being submitted, which is starting to impact retention of maths and English skills.

In a senior secondary setting, one Year 11 student was observed "rushing through" trigonometry test questions—leading to repeated careless errors that would have been caught with slower, more methodical checking.

Another high school student hesitated to write down algebra steps, jumping straight to answers but struggling to explain reasoning when asked. This left gaps in working that made reviewing mistakes harder during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Giralang recently saw a Year 10 student move from struggling with non-monic quadratics to confidently factorising them after some patient review, even building a personalised cheat sheet for revision.

Another high schooler, who used to rush through algebra questions and miss steps, is now back-checking each solution and catching small mistakes on her own—something she rarely did before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has begun using the "thinking aloud" technique while tackling tricky geometry problems, which helped her independently spot where she'd made an error and correct it 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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Giralang Primary School.
