Software Dev Tutor Garran, ACT
It is all about knowing the audience. Not all kids/students have the same skillset, some are good in memorizing, some are good in analogy, some are good in logic and arithmetic. So it's about knowing their strengths and align it in a way that it would enhance their ability to learn. I am very dynamic and very patient in terms of tutoring, the…

Software Dev Tutor Yarralumla, ACT
I think the most important thing is to inspire them by making subjects at hand for them to be able to easily understand completely. I also believe to make them see the core values of knowledge in our lives. I as a tutor always help my students to strive for 100% by guiding them through their struggles. I have patience to see particularly my…

Software Dev Tutor Cook, ACT
Empathise: A tutor should provide encouragement, build confidence, and create a safe space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I try to think of many ways to explain a concept to a student. You never know which approach might work for a student. So, adaptability would be one strength. I think another one is…

Software Dev Tutor Holder, ACT
In my opinion, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build a positive relationship and establish trust, understand the student's needs and learning style, provide clear and concise explanations, foster a love for learning, and provide regular and constructive feedback. These steps help create a supportive learning…

Being patient with the student and not making them feel unwelcome or stressed. I always try to have a calm composure so that my student gets the most out of my tutoring sessions and enjoys them. I believe that I am quite level headed and have a cool composure when tutoring my current student. If they don't understand something I take my time with…

Software Dev Tutor Wanniassa, ACT
Provide a stable and consistent source of support in their education, while simultaneously being a person they are under no pressure to impress. Since tutors have no influence over their lives outside of tutoring, students often feel comfortable asking us questions they would feel embarrassed or "dumb" for asking a parent or teacher. Tutors…

I have good comprehension skills so I am able to understand the questions correctly and give relevant answers and an very empathetic and…

Inside RivettTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Alex worked on balancing chemical and net-ionic equations, as well as identifying and naming polyatomic ions with explanations about solubility, using real experiment observations for context.

In Year 11, Priya tackled forming chemical compound formulae by understanding ionic charges and practised writing full chemical equations from worded questions, including complex reaction types like single and double displacement.

For Year 8, Sam focused on solving simultaneous equations with two variables using the elimination method and applied area formulas to circles and parallelograms in geometry tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Chemistry, one student relied heavily on memorisation but skipped written practice balancing equations—"more practice is required to solidify technique," a tutor noted, especially when polyatomic ions appeared.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Maths, a learner used a calculator for basic multiplication and square roots rather than recalling times tables, which slowed progress during timed tests.

For an upper primary English task, incomplete daily writing led to weaker sentence structure and limited improvement in punctuation.

In senior years, late assessment drafts and missed school revision sessions meant valuable feedback was left unused before major Modern History and Sociology exams.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rivett noticed that a Year 11 student, Sami, took the initiative to create his own practice questions from class examples—something he hadn't tried before—and this led him to improve his understanding of parabolas and boost his maths exam score from 50% to 71%.

Meanwhile, Rory (Year 9) wrote productively for almost an entire session without prompting and received positive feedback from his English teacher for a thorough presentation, after previously struggling with clarity on assignment requirements.

In primary sessions, Samuel has gone from confusion about area and perimeter to confidently mastering those skills and finishing all related problems unaided.

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