I think a really good tutor is capable of making learning exciting and fun. The best way to do this is to clearly communicate why someone is doing what their doing and to find ways for the student to connect to the material on a personal level. This is something I strive to do with all students. I think I'm personable and have alot of life…

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…

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…

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…

Inside JackaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student William focused on practising times tables for 2, 3, and 5 by reciting them aloud and started exploring division as the opposite of multiplication.

Year 8 student revised complementary and supplementary angles, then applied angle rules in triangles—including Pythagoras' theorem—using visual diagrams to support understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jacob worked through quadratic expressions by expanding brackets and factorising terms using exercises from the Cambridge textbook.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student repeatedly left homework incomplete and forgot their school notebook—once explaining, "past test papers have been damaged and can't be brought back." This made it hard to track progress between lessons.

In Year 11, another student completed their homework at 3am but didn't understand the working out until hints were given through Mathspace; study strategies were printed out for future use.

One tutor noted that a Year 9 student "forgot to take notes for half the lesson," so missed key points on angle reasoning. These lapses meant valuable time was lost relearning rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jacka noticed a Year 8 student who used to stay quiet now regularly asks for help when stuck and shows more of their working out, making it easier to spot where they're going wrong.

In high school maths, one student recently completed all probability assignment questions independently—something she'd hesitated with before—and even explained her steps aloud.

Another senior student, after previously rushing through tests and missing details, slowed down during a timed quiz and caught her own mistakes without prompting, finishing with every answer checked herself.

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 Gungahlin Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Taqwa School.
