The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is. I once scrolled past this quote on social media that made so much sense to me, "You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand their concerns with the materials they are being taught.

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient. If they are struggling to understand a subject, they are going to get more frustrated the longer it takes for them to grasp. I believe that it is exacerbated by the class moving on to another topic before the student is ready, and it is our job to work with them…

I think a tutor can teach students some learning methods and think mode through which students can not only know how to solve a simple question but also apply these to the similar questions. First, I am a really patient and mild girl. If students can not understand what I teach, I will be very patient to teach them again and again. Second, I had…

Actively listening to what the student had to say in regards to what they understand and what they struggle with is very important. Letting the student also feel involved in their learning, as opposed to being ordered around sets up a safe environment for the student.

Tutoring allows you to know your students better and know their individual needs. Students who go see their teachers during office hours for tutoring perform better because their questions are answered in one-on-one tutoring. I believe in equity. I struggled in school.

I think the best tutors teach at a speed that the student requires. If a tutor is impatient, not only does it reduce what the student learns but also discourages them from asking for help. Tutors need to accommodate each specific student, as each one is different. I have been studying for a Bachelor of Law/Arts for the past four years. This study…

Jacinta is great and she & Katie are working really well together. So we are really happy with the progress so far.
Wendy, Arundel

Inside ArundelTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jasmine focused on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, and 1000 as well as applying BODMAS to multi-term expressions.

Year 9 student Connor practised plotting linear equations and determining gradients from graphs, then moved on to rearranging algebraic formulas to make x the subject.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam worked through time series analysis and also tackled binomial and geometric sequences in preparation for an upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

One Year 9 student frequently left assigned textbook questions incomplete, particularly before major assessments; as a tutor noted, "she must do the homework questions I assigned to her before Monday for her exam."

In Year 11 general maths, minimal written working made it hard to track reasoning in multi-step problems, leading to confusion about which formulas applied.

Meanwhile, a primary student avoided writing out calculations for times tables and often got stuck on 8Ă—8 and 8Ă—4, making progress slow and uneven during drills.

Missed practice opportunities meant core skills—like rearranging equations or remembering integer rules—remained shaky heading into new topics.

Recent Achievements

One Arundel tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with time series data now confidently analysing and interpreting patterns, tackling exam-style questions without hesitation.

In Year 8 maths, a quieter student started off hesitant but recently began talking through algebra problems aloud instead of working in silence—she's actively asking for clarification rather than guessing.

Meanwhile, a younger primary learner who used to forget her times tables is now recalling her 4s and 7s easily during practice, even explaining the importance of order of operations before moving on to the next question.

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 Mobile Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arundel State School.
