Physics Tutor Canberra, ACT
The most important things are studying with students together and help them by giving a hint, not a solution. This is because learners can recognise what the student's are struggling as if they had the same problems and can help them effectively. Additionaly, if we give just effective hints to them, they can progress the problem and they can…

Being supportive and empathetic - it is important to understand that different people struggle with different things no matter the levels and by complimenting improvements, it can boost someones's confidence in areas they may find difficult. I am a great listener and communicator and can easily recognise when someone either understands or is…

Help the student feel comfortable, ask questions freely, and grow confident in their thinking -- without feeling judged for their performance. I’ve been both strong and stuck in maths at different points, so I understand a wide range of student experiences. I’m patient, adaptable, and focus on explaining things clearly at their…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence. It’s not just about helping them understand the material, but also making them feel like they’re capable of tackling challenges on their own. A tutor should also be patient and provide a safe space where students feel comfortable asking…

I think it is important that a tutor be able to explain a concept in a way that the student can understand, internalise and remember, while tapping into their passion for the subject, rather than strictly and laboriously forcing them to rote-learn concepts (with the exception of fairly simple ideas like times tables of course) I think my strengths…

The best thing a tutor can do is leave a student with the tools, knowledge and confidence to continue advancing their academic career without relying on the tutor or teachers. I'm quite smart but also good at talking and listening to people. I see one of my strengths as being able to articulate an idea in a simple way, especially with Economics,…

Being flexible for the student, both in time and place for tutoring and more importantly with the content.

I have a strong maths foundation which allows me to potentially…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to give a student the necessary tools and confidence required to pursue their own learning. Explaining concepts in new ways that are understandable for the student and giving them opportunities to exercise what they know are very important for this process. This will be even more effective if the tutor…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to help them learn whatever they want to learn, even if they have a lot of difficulty understanding it. The first and most important thing would be the fact that I myself was a school student not long ago, and am a university student still, so I would understand what my…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently. One of my favourite quotes is "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

The most important thing a tutor can do is tailor their lesson plans to the individual needs of the student.

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

Inside CanberraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Vinusha worked through subtraction with decimals and calculating percentage discounts in price scenarios.

In Year 10, James focused on analysing domains of complex functions and revising his weekly homework problems.

For a Year 11 student, lessons addressed both differentiation techniques and anti-differentiation, including targeted exercises to strengthen calculus foundations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra lessons, a student relied on quick cosmetic corrections—"she over-erased errors instead of addressing the underlying algebra step," as one tutor observed—which meant sign issues lingered beneath tidy working.

A Year 11 student, when tackling polynomials from graphs, struggled to organize his approach; missed connections in written work led to confusion mid-problem.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's messy number writing ("needs more practice with writing 5 and 7") caused him to lose track in multi-step arithmetic.

Without consistent independent practice between sessions, several students arrived unable to ask targeted questions or recall key steps.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Canberra noticed that Landon now distinguishes between algebraic and non-algebraic forms independently, a skill he previously struggled with. He even tackled graphing linear functions without prompts, marking a clear shift toward self-reliance.

In another session, Vinusha solved quadratic equations confidently using the quadratic formula. She explained her steps aloud, demonstrating a new level of understanding and communication.

Meanwhile, Felix completed a full long division problem on his own, specifically 294 divided by 7, and checked his answer without any help—showing significant growth in independence.

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 Ainslie School.
