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…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to help them reach their full potential.

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…

The most important thing an english tutor can do is teach students *how* to learn. By helping them develop strategies and habits that build confidence in their own abilities, we give them the tools to succeed independently - beyond our own sessions. It's about long term growth over short term fixes. One of my strengths is clear communication -…

I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other…

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…

The most important things for an english tutor to do for a student is ensure their confidence stems from understanding not just knowing the answer to a question but instead the theory behind it.

Inside McKellarTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Atiana worked on subtraction and practiced simple addition, focusing on building foundational number skills.

In Year 9, Sam tackled algebra by collecting like terms and solving equations, as well as reviewing indices using examples from his school booklet.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amy concentrated on solving exponential and logarithmic functions and learned how to sketch their graphs for different transformations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly skipped writing working for algebra and fractions, making it hard to catch calculation errors—"he jumped to the answer but struggled to explain his steps," a tutor observed.

In Year 10, not planning answers before starting probability tree diagrams led to confusion in interpreting multi-step problems.

For a Year 4 student, incomplete homework meant new fraction concepts weren't reinforced between lessons.

A Year 11 student lost confidence after small mistakes in calculus; this hesitation made her reluctant to attempt harder questions, leaving challenging derivative problems unpractised by session's end.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mckellar noticed some encouraging shifts across a range of students recently. Charlotte (Year 12) had struggled with the chain rule in calculus but now applies it accurately and with clear reasoning during sessions.

In Year 9, Sam used to make frequent mistakes on long multiplication, but after steady practice he recently completed all his homework questions correctly—something he couldn't manage just a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Amy (Year 11) used to hesitate asking for help when stuck; this week, she openly asked questions whenever a physics concept felt unclear and worked through challenging rate-of-change problems with greater persistence.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Miles Franklin Primary School.
