The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is break down this unclimbable mountain of a problem into a simple hill. I believe that everyone has areas that they struggle with, and a lot of time with math, it's a lot less scary than it looks. I love tutoring mathematics, and have been doing so for months now, seeing year 11, 10, and 9…

I believe a tutor should encourage a student such that the student can participate actively without any anxiety or fear of being wrong. Motivating a student and encouraging a love for learning through things like games, incentives and relatability to make classes more fun. I am extremely patient, I also enjoy the content I teach so I have no…

For me, the most important thing a tutor can do for his student, is to make the latter find himself. This means that the tutor should first teach him how to learn, make him find ways/conditions in which he thrives the most. I believe that if the student manages to unlock that skill, irrespective of the subject, the sky is the limit for the…

Tutor-student connection. If the pair don't maintain an almost friends connection it is hard to influence the students learning for the better. I understand the frustrations that come with the failures in teaching, and I can successfully help students overcome that, as well as I know how to adapt my teaching style to better benefit the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is, instead of working through curriculum blindly and wasting time, teaching content that is personalised and caters to the student to improve their weaknesses and boost them academically.

To boost confidence and motivation. I believe that you cannot force a student to learn, but you can guide them to do their best. If the student does not wish to learn, there is not much I can do to improve their grades. But, if the students are highly motivated and willing to learn, even if their grades are below average, they can rapidly improve…

The most important thing is to motivate to them so that they want to learn, instead of thinking that studying is just for the sake of having good results in school. This will help in the long run, as one should never stop learning. I am able to guide my students by having different ways of explaining things if they don't understand at first and to…

I have a strong understanding of Maths and Science subjects (Maths Specialist/Methods, Physics and Chemistry). Additionally, I have a year of…

From my experience, the desire to learn and succeed must come from within, but once that feeling is there it is the tutor's responsibility to cultivate and grow this passion and to translate it into continuous improvement.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is focus on that student, listen to what they want and then create a personalised lesson just for them.

Inside CanningtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zivah practised breaking down large numbers into their place values and worked through multiplication of 2s and 3s using targeted exercises.

For Year 8, Aiden focused on simplifying linear equations and substituting variables for number values, building fluency with algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ellie reviewed consumer arithmetic topics such as percentage increase and decrease in the context of income tax, alongside exploring atomic structure and periodic table groupings in introductory chemistry.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly avoided completing homework, even after reminders ("Did not do homework again"), which led to limited practice on key algebra and fractions concepts.

In Year 9, a lack of note-taking during class meant important problem-solving steps were missed when attempting worded questions—this made it difficult to break down what the question required, especially under time pressure.

A Year 10 student was heavily reliant on calculators for basic operations; when asked to work without one in class, calculation errors increased and confidence dropped.

"She waited for my approval before answering," observed a tutor with a Year 5 student grappling with times tables—uncertainty often halted progress mid-question.

Recent Achievements

One Cannington tutor noticed a big shift in Shrika's approach to algebra—she used the "talking aloud" strategy consistently, asked for extra clarification until she was sure of each step, and then solved new questions without help, something she hesitated to do before.

Remy, a high school student, worked through worded problems with much more independence this week; after some initial guidance, broke down each question herself and finished her worksheet accurately.

In Year 4, Zivah tackled all textbook practice problems on her own for the first time and only needed minimal support from her tutor.

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 Cannington Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cannington Community College.
