I believe that the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make the foundation of the subject very strong so that it becomes easier for them to understand the difficult subjects. I am patient with the students and come with innovative ways to make them understand the concepts. In the first few classes I build rapport with the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Science Tutor Nicholls, ACT
I really believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient towards them and make them feel comfortable to keep asking for help again and again. I once had a tutor for Specialist Methods in Year 11. He would teach very fast and not make sure that I had fully understood the topic. He'd also get very impatient, to the…

Provide an actual genuine relationship so the student can understand that the tutor is not simply there to teach but to talk to about anything. In my experience learning always works best when everyone can feel comfortable asking questions. When I was at school, any classroom that undervalued asking questions was bleak and difficult to grasp…

I believe that patience is definitely a major aspect of tutoring. There is nothing worse than being expected to understand something and being unable to go back and revisit it, simply because the tutor is impatient or not understanding/empathetic enough. Another important aspect I would say would have to be teaching slowly where needed and not…

Inside NgunnawalTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliza worked on telling time using the minute and hour hands, as well as distinguishing between am and pm.

Year 7 student Noah revised linear equations and focused on graphing inequalities while preparing for a test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lucas tackled compound interest calculations and explored applications in real-world financial scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Too much reliance on a calculator during fraction and algebra work—"the more he can guestimate the answer the more likely he can eliminate any extreme errors," as noted after test prep. This habit made it harder to spot mistakes early.

In Year 3, inconsistent recall of times tables meant that basic addition and subtraction with larger numbers took extra time; a tutor observed, "gets in her own way, it's too hard even though it's the same method."

For one senior student, incomplete homework reduced confidence before assessments, leading to missed opportunities for targeted feedback.

Recent Achievements

A Ngunnawal tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who had been struggling with tax brackets finally start to grasp converting annual figures into weekly amounts—she asked clarifying questions and corrected herself without prompting.

In another session, a high schooler who used to rush through subtraction is now consistently slowing down and double-checking her answers, catching mistakes before the tutor points them out.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who found telling time difficult can now plot times on an analogue clock and explain them back, even asking for extra practice sheets to take home after lessons.

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 St John Paul II College.
