One of the most important things that a tutor can do for students is help them find what they are learning is full of fun. Interest is the best teacher. When students like a subject, they are more willing to put in more time to practice and learn about it. As a tutor, there is only a very limited hours that I can accompany my student. Therefore,…

A tutor should have the ability to share information in a way that others will learn, grasp the concepts, understand the input. A tutor should be able to know strengths and weakness of a student. A extra paper work is required by tutor for better performance of a student. A regular assessment of student to enhance his performance. A tutor should…

The most important thing a tutor may do for a student is provide them with the resources required to understand a subject in a way that further nurtures natural curiosity. For example, with enough background knowledge of science, students often start noticing things in their everyday life that make them question things from a scientific…

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…

Software Dev Tutor Kaleen, ACT
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 a 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 people.…

In my opinion, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide personalized guidance and support, foster a positive learning environment, and encourage critical thinking and independent learning. Tutors should strive to understand their students' unique learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses, and adapt their approach…

That light bulb moment I discussed above. It’s getting the student to unlock that puzzle in their mind and being able to understand the problem at hand. I find that is the true way to learn. Forcing a student to revise work and memorise is not something I found of, hence it’s not something I promote or work by. I’m balanced in both…

Being a tutor is a profession of great responsibility, and they are entrusted with their students' future. I consider upholding that trust and guiding the students to what is correct is the number one essential thing for a tutor. Tutors must understand their limitations, and work on how they can function past those hurdles, and enable their…

Make the student interested in the subject otherwise doesn't matter how much student try, if he/she doesn't like the subject it would be very hard for him/her to perform well. I can explain a concept with real world example. Every student is different and a suitable approach must be taken according to the student to help him/her. I am good at…

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.
