Software Dev Tutor Garran, ACT
It is all about knowing the audience. Not all kids/students have the same skillset, some are good in memorizing, some are good in analogy, some are good in logic and arithmetic. So it's about knowing their strengths and align it in a way that it would enhance their ability to learn. I am very dynamic and very patient in terms of tutoring, the…

Software Dev Tutor Richardson, ACT
The most important things a tutor can do is to always be understanding and patient as some concepts are more challenging to grasp for students. Also being able to communicate in a manner that the student is able to understand and allows for them to progress. My strengths are my understanding nature, patience and my ability to adapt. I believe…

Software Dev Tutor Wanniassa, ACT
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…

Inside GowrieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on mastering boxplots and scatter plots, as well as working through a range of algebraic inequalities.

For Year 10, Ethan practiced solving quadratic equations both by factorising and using the quadratic formula, along with sketching related graphs to interpret solutions visually.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam worked on simultaneous equations using substitution methods and reinforced his skills in expanding and factorising binomials through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, a student arrived without having completed any extra exam revision since the last session; as one tutor observed, "we need to work on building independent study as a habit."

Another Year 9 student frequently came unprepared, unable to identify which topics needed review before tutoring began.

In Year 7 mathematics, homework was often left incomplete or done incorrectly at home but finished correctly when supported in person—suggesting a gap in independent application.

For a primary student, distractions and talking led to lost focus during lessons, with simple arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction sometimes confused as a result.

Recent Achievements

One Gowrie tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to exam prep—after struggling with revision strategies, he started writing key problem-solving steps on cards during sessions and referred back to them unprompted, helping him tackle practice questions more independently.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to hesitate when something didn't make sense is now confidently letting the tutor know exactly where she needs help instead of staying silent.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who previously counted on fingers surprised his tutor by solving addition problems quickly without needing any physical aids or reminders.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gowrie Primary School.
