The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence and hope that they can achieve what they want. Not every student is aiming for the highest grade and some only have small goals like writing a cohesive essay so the most important thing a tutor can do is instil confidence in their students that they can achieve what…

Tutors should inspire a love of learning and meet the student at their level. I am patient and flexible which means I am willing to take time to get to know each student's individual strengths and…

I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

A tutor, morally, can pave a path to right mindset for a student and impart knowledge not just of textbooks but moral education too . Tutors can also play a role of godparent for many students in life via providing mature guidance . Last but not the least, tutors are like the water to seeds, thus being significant for a child's nourishment. …

The three most important things when it comes to tutoring, outside of respect (which is a given), is being patient, flexible, and consistent. We have all been students!

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is giving them confidence and equipping them with skills to find solutions on their own.

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through.

I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment.

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.
