I think the most significant aspect of tutoring is creating a safe space for students to be able to not only learn and understand difficult concepts, but develop critical thinking skills and traits that allow them to progress further than just the subject they are being tutored for. I am very understanding and patient. As a child who came to…

As much as the content is important, the way students feel about going into school is important.

I think the fundamental aspect of tutoring is the dedication of time to the student and their understanding.

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!

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is listen to them. This is the only way to know what they don't understand and where they need help. Positive feedback is also essential in tutoring. If the student feels like they aren't making any progress and that they will never understand the problem, then they may give up all…

Apart from teaching the concepts and syllabi, it is important that a tutor proves to be a valuable asset that the student can rely on.

Listening to their questions, as many children are too scared to ask questions in class, and I hope to provide them a safe space for this. I also think it's important to be flexible, to work with what the kids need. Especially with younger children, who may not necessarily know what exactly they're struggling with. - Patience - Good understanding…

Inside BelconnenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Hayley practised turning mixed numbers into improper fractions and completed mental addition, subtraction, and multiplication with small numbers.

For Year 9, Lewis worked on linear inequalities and straight line graphing, then extended to finding midpoints and distances between points.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex focused on applying the chain rule for differentiation and tackled derivatives of exponential functions using worked examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, one student hesitated to label sides and angles when tackling triangle problems; as a tutor observed, "he should begin to build the habit of labeling" to make orientation clearer.

In Year 10 algebra, skipping written steps and relying on mental calculations led to missed sign errors—this meant time was spent backtracking rather than progressing.

A senior student in calculus struggled with remembering which formula step came next; speaking each stage aloud exposed errors early but required practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student rarely asked questions during sessions, echoing classroom reticence and limiting opportunities for clarification.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Belconnen noticed Jarrah, a high school student, now consistently substitutes the correct values when converting rates and confidently applies the unitary method—something he hesitated with before.

In another session, Jensen made a notable shift by coming prepared with his own question to discuss at the start, showing new initiative instead of waiting passively for guidance.

For younger learners, Evie has moved from relying on her fingers for calculations to recalling multiplication facts more independently; after several sessions using flashcards and games, she answered all her 6 times table questions perfectly without prompting.

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 Kippax Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Southern Cross Early Childhood School.
