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…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through. Often as a tutor you must recognise that students who get tutoring need further help than what is being given and may have academic insecurity, so it is our role to help them improve on this and gain confidence in their learning, with hopes that…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

A tutor can help the student overcome the fear of not asking questions as there are no "dumb" questions. A tutor can also guide the student to understand the way of studying efficiently by themselves. A tutor should also motivate the students and serve as a guiding light to their students in studies and for the future. I have high interpersonal…

A tutor’s most important role is to build confidence, adapt to a student’s learning style, and teach problem-solving skills.

I believe my strengths are my diligence…

For me personally, allowing the tutee himself/herself to figure out the gist of the problem is the most important function of the tutor. Instead of telling everything right away, I prefer to guide the tutee to reach the answer on his/her own with a clear understanding of the subject. I think it is the best way to help the student. First, it is the…

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.
