The most important thing a tutor can do is teach students *how* to learn. By helping them develop strategies and habits that build confidence in their own abilities, we give them the tools to succeed independently - beyond our own sessions. It's about long term growth over short term fixes. One of my strengths is clear communication - both in…

I think communication with your student is important. As a tutor, you can not force a student to do things your way, so it's important to be able to compromise and help them with what they think is important so they don't lose interest in a subject, whether it is a struggling student or one that wants to excel. By involving them in the process you…

I am good at helping people understand concepts that are difficult to understand. I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other people.…

Inside BruceTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 9 student Ethan worked through NAPLAN past paper questions 1–25 and reviewed key concepts on circumference basics.
Year 11 student Priya focused on mastering the laws of indices and revised surds, with some work on rationalising denominators using step-by-step examples.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel practiced applying differentiation to exam-style questions and tackled problems involving tangents and normals to curves.
Recent Challenges
A Year 9 student left multiple homework sets unfinished in algebra and fractions ("Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions"), making it harder to reinforce new skills.
In VCE Methods, one student tackled complex differentiation but didn't complete assigned past exam papers—notes read: "Needs to complete the 2009 Paper for Homework."
Another in Year 11 focused revision on familiar problems, shying away from application questions that would boost understanding.
As a tutor observed about a senior: "Need to get more organised then will be able to succeed"—misplaced notes and incomplete practice meant extra time spent catching up before tests.
Recent Achievements
A Bruce tutor noticed a big change in one Year 10 student who previously hesitated to use her calculator and often guessed, but now double-checks her answers confidently during sessions.
In Year 11 maths, a student who used to skip tough surds questions is now attempting them without prompting—last week, he even set his own goal of full marks for the next exam.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would only answer with help is starting to tackle basic problems independently and asks follow-up questions when unsure. This time, he finished all ten problems on his 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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like University of Canberra Senior Secondary College Lake Ginninderra.
