I believe that creating a true relationship and connection with the student is an incredibly important part of being a successful tutor. If the student genuinely enjoys their tutoring session they are more likely to want to continue to learn and therefore engage with the content. By building a portfolio with the student, they are more likely to…

Give them the resources to be their best student. Rather than just giving them the answer outright, set up a pathway for them to solve their problem themselves. I'm a very patient person, I think I've learned from past 'bad' tutors that patience is key to the student enjoying the session. I also consider myself to be creative with solutions if the…

Confidence. I believe from past experience that once a child has gained some confidence in a particular subject then learning becomes more fun and interesting.

Let the students understand where they have gone wrong and, instead of telling them the answer right away, letting the student work it out for themselves with some guidance from the tutor if necessary. This way, the student can start to learn how to notice their own mistakes and will be able to further develop their writing style. One comment I…

Inside MarmionTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Paige focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, as well as practicing multiplying with decimals using test questions for extra reinforcement.

Year 9 Benji worked through all key algebra skills for his upcoming test and spent time mastering equations of linear graphs by tackling a comprehensive study booklet.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Paige revisited challenging finance questions from a recent test and practiced applying clear steps to similar exam-style problems to boost confidence for future assessments.

Recent Challenges

Missed two consecutive homework assignments on midpoints and correlation, which limited their readiness for lesson activities ("Did not do homework set").

In Year 11, a student avoided writing out equations fully during algebra tasks, making it difficult to spot and fix calculation errors.

For one Year 10 trigonometry topic, overconfidence meant "he believes that he is OK" despite an exam result of just 33%, so gaps went unaddressed until the test.

In primary years, messy or incomplete working was noted in fraction simplification, sometimes causing confusion when revisiting problems later.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Marmion recently saw a Year 10 student who had previously been anxious about index laws, but after working through each rule, he completed all the practice questions without making his usual mistakes.

In a senior high school session, another student surprised himself by quickly adapting to new types of graphs and data; where he once hesitated with interpreting features of parabolas, he now describes them confidently and solves factorising problems more smoothly.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, one student was initially hesitant with long division but persisted and managed to complete several sums independently before the lesson ended.

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 Duncraig Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marmion Primary School.
