A tutor's job is to make learning fun for a student. There are many instances where a student may be discouraged from learning a specific subject due to its difficulty level. As a tutor, your job is to teach a student perseverance and resilience to keep trying that subject concept etc. Being resilient and persevering through life's obstacles will…

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.…

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. It's about long term growth over short term fixes. One of my strengths is clear communication - both in…

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.

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…

Inside ReidTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student James worked on analysing the domain of complex functions and reviewed his homework for linear equations, clarifying any misconceptions.

For Year 8, Emma focused on expanding brackets and solving linear systems of equations, including visualising binomials using geometric representations.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student revised fractions with exponents and practiced solving linear systems of equations, building confidence through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student hesitated when translating worded problems into equations in Maths Methods, often needing reassurance before starting—"once prompted, he finished the question," a tutor observed.

In Year 10, test planning and time management emerged as an obstacle: timing each question wasn't tracked, so slower sections remained hidden until revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student left key exercises unfinished between lessons, meaning fewer questions could be brought up for feedback during tutoring. This led to missed opportunities for targeted explanation and deeper understanding in algebraic methods.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Reid noticed Juan, a high school student, returning to earlier algebra content and quickly recalling everything after previous struggles with certain questions—this time he could answer them independently without hesitation.

Thea, also in high school, now openly admits when she doesn't understand a concept rather than staying quiet; she's begun drawing on prior lessons to solve new problems and can now expand equations without any help.

In primary sessions, one student who previously mixed up improper fractions now confidently converts them into whole numbers during practice questions.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Canberra Grammar School - Northside Infants Campus.
