I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Lawson, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. 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…

It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

The responsibilities of a tutor involve not only cultivating subject knowledge but also developing a passion for learning. Building a strong connection with the student, identifying their unique learning style, and adapting teaching strategies accordingly are crucial. Moreover, a tutor plays a pivotal role in instilling confidence, critical…

Inside AinslieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Rhys worked on mastering surface area and volume of 3D shapes, with targeted revision on fractions using electronic flashcards for quick recall.

For Year 10, Amity tackled key trigonometry concepts and spent time reviewing a recent test that covered measurement, volume, area, and the Pythagoras theorem.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Owen focused on physics assignments about waves and the double slit experiment, as well as formalising his understanding of radians in trigonometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, a student was heavily dependent on having access to notes and solution formulas, leading to difficulty when faced with even simple algebra without prompts.

This over-reliance meant written working was often skipped, making errors harder to spot or fix.

In Year 10 Probability, the same tendency showed: key rules weren't recalled independently, and manipulating equations (like P(A) + P(not A) = 1) stalled due to weak algebraic habits.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 Science, not keeping a dedicated notebook resulted in frequent struggles recalling prior content—leaving basic chemistry reactions feeling vague and unfamiliar during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ainslie noted that a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help is now openly sharing when he's stuck, which meant they could tackle tricky algebra questions together and fix old mistakes on the spot.

In a recent high school chemistry session, one student answered questions about chemical bonds independently after needing guidance in earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student showed new initiative by breaking down multi-step shape problems without prompting—last month she waited for hints before starting. The lesson wrapped up with her adding up areas of irregular shapes all on her own.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like North Ainslie Primary School.
