Empathise: A tutor should provide encouragement, build confidence, and create a safe space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish.

Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a tutor, I would let my student know that they…

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…

Inside ActonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Zoe focused on converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages using diagrams for visual support, and practised adding and subtracting decimals.

In Year 8, Sam tackled simplifying fractions as well as identifying equivalent fractions through targeted exercises.

For Year 10, Emily completed a topic test covering algebraic equations—particularly those involving multiplication and division—and then reviewed how to solve linear equations step by step.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with exam planning, as he needed to write a bit quicker in order to make sure he can complete the exam—and also properly pace himself during the exam and not spend too long on a confusing question.

In Year 8 English, skipping over assignment instructions meant one student missed key requirements and jumped ahead, leading to confusion about what was actually expected.

For a Year 6 maths learner, foundational times tables knowledge remained shaky; this slowed her down even on simple problems.

After missing class content, a senior student felt lost in algebra until revisiting basics restored some confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Acton tutor noticed a Year 10 student now regularly back-checks her maths, which has led to fewer careless mistakes—a big shift from earlier sessions when she'd rush through problems.

A high school English student recently began giving creative writing questions a proper go rather than hesitating; he's started catching repetitive sentence starters on his own after targeted feedback.

Meanwhile, a younger student who was initially quiet now tells the tutor exactly what's confusing during lessons and asks for help right away instead of guessing.

In one session, she tackled tricky decimal operations after just a brief explanation.

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