Modern History Tutor Mawson, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

Rodney

Modern History Tutor Conder, ACT
A tutor is similar to a learning support assistant in schools, they are there to assist the teacher and they do lots of jobs to help students achieve learning goals. A tutor does the same thing except there is no classroom it’s just you and the student. I think just encouraging and supporting them as they navigate through their learning…

We think Noah is great. My son more importantly is really enjoying the interaction with Noah. I think he has settled in very quickly.

Inside TraleeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sarah worked on solving simultaneous equations using substitution and practiced expanding and factorising binomials.

For Year 10, Alex focused on quadratic equations, applying both the quadratic formula and factorisation methods to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Emily reinforced her understanding of simplifying fractions and converting them into decimals through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student arrived at a session without having completed any independent exam revision since the last lesson; "Jay hadn't done any extra revision for her exam," as noted.

In Year 11, another student struggled to identify which topics to review before sessions, leading to time lost on basic planning rather than tackling advanced content.

A Year 8 learner's unfinished homework in linear equations left errors hidden until worked through together—missed steps masked deeper misunderstandings.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 child often sought reassurance after each answer instead of attempting questions independently, which slowed progress and reduced confidence during mental maths practice.

Recent Achievements

One Tralee tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask for clarification, confidently spoke up when simultaneous equations didn't make sense and worked through them until the process clicked.

Another high schooler had previously struggled with quadratic graphs but was able to explain how changing variables affected their shape, even drawing examples from memory during the session.

In primary years, one student who used to rely on counting fingers tackled complicated addition without any prompts or finger-counting—she completed all problems in record time and checked her own answers before moving on.

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 Gilmore Primary School.
