Tutor Torrens, ACT
I think versatility and variety are the most important characteristics since different learning methods work for different people. Being able to acknowledge different teaching styles and having the ability to use them according to the specific person being taught is what I believe to be of greatest importance. A tutor should also be…

- In addition to academic support, it is important to recognise that students often encounter personal challenges that can impact their studies. I firmly believe that extracurricular interests and hobbies should enhance their lives rather than feel burdensome. Therefore, I think it is important to work collaboratively with students to help them…

Tutors are useful in the way that if a student didn’t understand how something was explained in class, we can offer different and more in depth explanations to help them achieve this understanding. Ensuring a student feels comfortable enough to ask questions is the most important thing a tutor can do in my opinion. That I am supportive, positive…

I believe that the one of the most important things a tutor can do is to help a student truly realise their academic potential, especially since the needs of one student may be overlooked in a classroom setting. It is also important, however, to help inspire confidence in the subject, and hopefully a passion, so that they continue to succeed…

Local Reviews

Ziada has a lovely manner, and is a pleasure to have here tutor my year 9 son in maths. She is calm and softly spoken, which has been a perfect match for us. I love the way she lets my son have a go and talk through the problem, and what he knows, before leaping in with an explanation. This gives my son the opportunity to just nod and say he understand without actually understanding! She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. And my son always feels good at the end of the session. Her communication is impeccable. Very timely and friendly. She has been very understanding when we got caught up and had to move our time. I would highly recommend Ziada to anyone ?

Inside RichardsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eva practised measuring angles using a protractor and revisited percentage questions, with extra focus on correcting mistakes.

For Year 8, Noah tackled surface area and volume problems for prisms and cylinders, working through calculations step by step.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah focused on solving quadratic equations both by factorising and applying the quadratic formula to a range of practice examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student hadn't completed any extra revision before an upcoming exam, which meant opportunities to build independent study habits were missed—"she hadn't done any extra revision for her exam since the last session."

In Year 11, lesson planning and preparation remained inconsistent; a tutor noted sessions often began without clear goals, making it harder to target weaknesses.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's solutions were sometimes messy and hard to follow in algebra problems, leading to confusion when reviewing errors.

In primary maths, incomplete homework was common, with one child getting most questions wrong at home but then solving them correctly together in-session. This suggests significant gaps in independent problem-solving or confidence outside of tutoring support.

Recent Achievements

One Richardson tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with quadratic graphs quickly grasp how changing variables shifts their shape, and he now asks more questions to deepen his understanding.

In a recent high school English session, another student became much more descriptive in her narrative essays, moving from brief sentences to richer detail after focused practice.

Meanwhile, a younger learner gained real independence using a protractor—she's now consistently measuring angles correctly on her own, where she used to hesitate and ask for help each time before tackling an angle-measuring question.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richardson Primary School.
