A tutor is more like a friend, I believe tutors make learning an enjoyable activity, instead of making it nerve-wracking for the child. Tutoring is a more relaxing route to guide and educate.

In my view, teacher is the most important person for a student after their parents. School level students spend more time with their teachers than with their parents.

Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a tutor, I would let my student know that they…

The most important thing a 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.

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.
