A tutor must find out about a student's personal learning requirements, such as where and why they struggle with concepts, and then figure out how best the student learns, then teach the student according to their own needs, that they may gain fluency in the particular academic area. I am a good communicator, and I have a good grasp of subject…

I think the fundamental aspect of tutoring is the dedication of time to the student and their understanding. Ensuring that they are comfortable and confident with their learning and being a guide along the way is at the heart of being a good tutor. For me, tutoring is about finding the keys to a few important concepts - about finding how they…

I think it is important that a tutor be able to explain a concept in a way that the student can understand, internalise and remember, while tapping into their passion for the subject, rather than strictly and laboriously forcing them to rote-learn concepts (with the exception of fairly simple ideas like times tables of course) I think my strengths…

A tutor can make a student love the subject he/she hates. The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, his/her interests, aptitude, and what he/she is inclined towards. If you have a basic idea of the student mindset you can develop techniques to make them understand the subject in a way they don't find it hard. Gamification…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence.

A tutor should also be patient and provide a safe space where students feel comfortable asking…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to help them learn whatever they want to learn, even if they have a lot of difficulty understanding it. The first and most important thing would be the fact that I myself was a school student not long ago, and am a university student still, so I would understand what my…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is obviously helping them in their studies, both in terms of improving their grades, but also their critical thinking skills for future learning. I think the key with this in a tutoring context, rather than classroom teaching, is catering to a student’s needs, and making sure that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is equip them with the necessary skills to brave the world.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently. One of my favourite quotes is "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

Heather

Inside WestonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Sam focused on converting fractions and decimals to percentages, and practiced addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators.

Year 9 Sami worked through factorising by grouping and calculated the volume of prisms and cylinders using formulae.

For Year 10 Tiana, lessons addressed solving simultaneous equations by elimination as well as finding the area of circles and parallelograms, using diagrams for visual support where needed.

Recent Challenges

During recent lessons, a Year 9 student relied on a calculator for basic multiplication and squared numbers, slowing progress in more complex test questions; as noted, "requires calculator for simple multiplying (x 3 etc.)."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing assessment pieces faced procrastination challenges—study planners were suggested to manage multiple upcoming exams but deadlines still crept up.

In Year 7 English, missing or incomplete homework drafts led to last-minute writing sessions instead of refining arguments. These patterns meant valuable time was lost on foundational tasks rather than building confidence with higher-level skills before major assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Weston tutor noticed a big shift in Sami, a high schooler who previously felt stuck at a C but now independently creates extra maths questions to challenge himself and recently beat his goal with a 71% on his exam.

Another student, Rory, started the term hesitant to draft essays but now writes productively for nearly an hour straight and received positive feedback from his English teacher about a well-prepared presentation.

Meanwhile, Samuel in primary school moved from struggling with perimeter problems to mastering both area and perimeter calculations, finishing all four skill levels with just minimal guidance.

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 St Jude's Primary School.
