I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient and understanding of their circumstances. It can be demoralising being behind in a subject and frustrating when you can't wrap your head around a concept, so I believe a tutor has to not be pushy and provide the student with the space to pick up the concepts at their own…

The end goal of tutoring is to show the student a different way of looking at things and to transfer skills that would help them in the subject being taught, but also other subjects. Skills like problem-solving, and conceptualizing problems as smaller problems is a universal skill that can be applied to all sorts of topics. Helping them find their…

Software Dev Tutor Maribyrnong, VIC
A tutor plays a very important role in the development of a student. The student is more informal and feels free to express his/her concerns, rather than at school. As it is a one to one interaction, a tutor has to focus completely and also expect the student to give 100%. Every student is different with their intelligence, maturity and attitude.…

Respect and listen to their current understanding so that they do not get bored by over explanation or lost by under explanation. I am comfortable explaining new concepts in relatable ways. I was very satisfied with my students improvement over the years and believe that my strength is building core concepts with students that help into later…

A tutor can help forming the most fundamental and strong knowledge base of the student, by guiding him/her rightly. That knowledge base is a foundation of major learning concepts in future. A tutor doesn't only literate the student, but plays a major role in educating one. I can explain a concept to the student in the simplest terms. My friendly…

Inside JacanaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mary worked on adding fractions with different denominators and tackled factors and multiples, finishing a tricky homework sheet together.

Year 8 student Bill focused on reducing fractions through targeted practice and discussed division in relation to multiplication, using examples from recent lessons.

For Year 9, Alex revised multiplying and dividing negative numbers, including a spelling test and vocabulary worksheet for literacy reinforcement within the session.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left English essays incomplete for homework, particularly after receiving a disappointing mark; as noted, "he seemed distressed and avoided starting the next essay," which led to missed opportunities for feedback and improvement.

In Year 7 Maths, another student consistently forgot to complete assigned revision sheets before a fractions test—this meant class time was spent on catch-up rather than tackling new material.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student preferred to attempt only familiar problems in algebra revision, shying away from more challenging questions and limiting exposure to essential concepts needed for exam readiness.

Recent Achievements

One Jacana tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking for help—now, he openly voices questions when stuck on essay planning and even suggests what he'd like to review next.

A high schooler tackling long division had previously needed lots of guidance but can now finish complex worded problems independently after practicing with homework.

In a primary session, a Year 4 student who once got frustrated by spelling mistakes now takes them in stride and finishes tests with far fewer corrections, even celebrating when he spelled most tricky words right.

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 Hume Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College (Victoria) - Basketball Broadmeadows.
