Geography Tutor Narrabundah, ACT
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence and give them tools to succeed. I think I am kind and passionate, and have an ability to connect with students and adapt my tutoring to what they individually…

Inside The RidgewayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Josh focused on reading comprehension and vocabulary by working through short texts, answering questions, and summarising passages, as well as tackling basic maths assessment tasks to identify strengths.

In Year 8, Noah reviewed linear equations and surds—practicing rationalising denominators and solving equations using graphs—while also strengthening his English writing by developing topic sentences and structuring cohesive paragraphs.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Ari concentrated on statistics topics such as mean, median, mode, box-and-whisker plots (including identifying outliers), and explored theoretical probability using practical examples.

Recent Challenges

Ari forgot to bring his homework for this week's lesson, which disrupted review and slowed progress.

In Year 9 English, deleting a full essay after a teacher requested format changes left the student with no draft to edit or submit; reluctance to share work meant feedback was missed.

Messy working and skipping steps appeared in Year 7 math: needs to follow each of the steps to find outliers carefully.

In senior English, one student avoided drafting and editing essays, resulting in unfinished responses when assignments changed unexpectedly.

Recent Achievements

One The Ridgeway tutor observed a high school student who previously avoided asking questions now actively seeking clarification about essay structure and referencing, showing real initiative during discussions on trauma themes in literature.

Another secondary student, after struggling with linear equations graphically, confidently solved them using three different methods following step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated to write independently managed both writing exercises with support, successfully incorporating his own adjectives and adverbs for the first time.

In the most recent session, he found his own words to complete an open-ended question when given scaffolding.

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 Queanbeyan-Palerang Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Queanbeyan East Public School.
