Give the student hope that they are able to do achieve something. I am that person where if u promise someone something that you know won't be achieved will damage that students confidence more than saying 'I can't promise anything, but I will try my absolute hardest to get you to your destination'. By giving students hope, and belief that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to build up a student's self belief so they can continue improving and reach their goals, whether they be academic or not. Tutoring is about giving a student the space they need to make mistakes, and teaching them that it is okay to make them. It is important that a student and tutor can build up a…

Studying techniques, creating good habits and of course, feedback for improvements! These are the important aspects that a tutor should show their students. There is much more to learning than parroting back facts - information needs to absorbed, regurgitated, reused in a practical sense. I have much hands-on experience in using my chosen skills -…

I feel the problem with most tutors is they know their content but that they don't know how the other child would grasp it as in my experience each child is different and as tutors we must understand their way of understanding and try explaining in a way that it is easy for them to understand. So this is one of the most important things a tutor…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student to lift them up what they feel mostly interested while learning anything. To motivate them while they do something new and bring any new idea to resolve any problem. That will help to develop the psychology of a student in more positive way to move forward with their willingness of thinking…

Be available and help them develop transferable skills. In my opinion, there's no point handing them an A+ essay to study and learn phrases, but rather help them understand why each type of connection and phrase is important and adds value, so that they can build their own skills which can be used under pressure in exams and across all of their…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to help the student recognise their own potential. Alongside teaching them, it is just as important to ensure they realise they are capable of figuring things out on their own too (of course with some support!).

A tutor needs to be able to successfully teach the student the material but also needs to provide the motivation and confidence a student needs to study and conquer any tests/exams. Students study around the clock, thus a tutor needs to be available when assistance is most required to provide the necessary support. Also recognise that many things…

Inside AttwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Alex focused on probability and fractions from Chapter 7, using practical examples to reinforce key fraction skills.

In Year 9, Maya worked through angle relationships and properties of geometrical figures, including a review of angles and practice with geometric diagrams.

For Year 11, Adam tackled language analysis by revising persuasive techniques, annotating articles, and practicing how to write effective analytical responses based on recent feedback.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived at a lesson without their book, making it impossible to reference key texts or annotate effectively ("would have been beneficial if his books were brought to the lesson").

In Year 10, one student had not completed assigned homework before the next session, which slowed progress in mastering persuasive techniques.

A Year 8 learner was often distracted by unrelated topics and missed opportunities to direct their learning.

A primary school student continued relying on finger counting for multiplication instead of practicing recall—this delayed fluency during more complex fraction tasks and led to slower problem-solving in class.

Recent Achievements

An Attwood tutor noticed Marcus, a Year 8 student, shift from guessing to explaining his reasoning out loud while solving coordinate geometry problems—he now confidently maps points and talks through each step.

In Year 11 English, one student arrived having already annotated The Longest Memory and was able to link quotes across texts without prompting, showing new independence with comparative analysis.

Another high schooler took feedback on her oral presentation draft, pinpointed exactly where she needed to clarify ideas, and came back the next lesson with a revised outline ready for discussion.

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 Gladstone Park Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Westmeadows Primary School.
