Psychology Tutor Cook, ACT
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…

Psychology Tutor Bruce, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

Psychology Tutor Lawson, ACT
It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

Inside ScullinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby focused on converting rates using the unitary method and practiced solving real-world word problems involving percentages and ratios.

Year 9 student Tom worked through linear inequalities and graphed straight lines, then extended to finding midpoints and distances between points on the Cartesian plane using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James tackled differentiation techniques, including applying the chain rule and practicing with questions involving tangents to curves.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to ask for help during algebra sessions, a pattern also noted in his regular classroom—this reluctance left errors unaddressed and slowed progress on solving equations.

In Year 10, another student tended to skip labeling triangle sides in geometry, making it harder to identify orientation and leading to repeated confusion; as the tutor described, "he finds himself getting stuck because the layout isn't clear."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner relied heavily on visual flashcards for times tables but struggled with oral recall without them, meaning instant fact retrieval was much weaker when tested verbally.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Scullin noticed a real shift with Jensen (Year 9), who previously hesitated to seek clarification but now consistently asks for help and even prepares questions ahead of sessions—something he never did before.

In senior maths, Callan (Year 12) had struggled to confidently apply index laws, but recently began using the power rule accurately and built on his understanding of limits.

Meanwhile, Evie (Year 4) used to rely heavily on her fingers for basic calculations; after practising verbal math games and using flashcards, she answered all her six times table problems perfectly without finger counting.

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 Southern Cross Early Childhood School.
