As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can bring to a student is a different perspective on the subject matter they are studying. While teachers and textbooks can be great resources, they often present the material in a standardized and one-size-fits-all way that may not resonate with every student. By providing a different voice…

One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for student is to create an environment in which they feel supported and welcomed. It is key to achieving results that you build a strong rapport with your student.

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it. Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

Inside HughesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, along with applying scientific notation and significant figures using worksheets.

In Year 10, Maya practiced factorising and expanding quadratic expressions, then moved on to graphing and manipulating parabolas with step-by-step visual examples.

For senior high school, Ethan (Year 11) focused on trigonometric identities through targeted exercises, followed by deeper work on trig functions and the unit circle for exam readiness.

Recent Challenges

Time management challenges in maths exams for a Year 10 student resulted in lingering too long on difficult questions, leaving less time for others. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions she felt less confident in."

In Year 8 algebra sessions, a reluctance to write out all working steps led to errors in squaring within brackets that went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 5 learner, forgetting homework was frequent, causing repeated coverage of past concepts instead of progressing to new material.

A Year 3 student regularly waited for approval before answering, making her hesitant to attempt questions independently.

Recent Achievements

One Hughes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with graphing trig functions last term now drawing accurate graphs with minimal help and explaining their steps.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification started openly voicing questions about quadratic translations, leading her to solve new problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to rely on counting fingers completed timed addition tasks independently and even corrected earlier mistakes on their own during the lesson, showing real initiative.

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