The most important thing to teach as a tutor is self-autonomy, so the student isn't dependent on you to help solve each equation but can instead use frameworks. These frameworks are the thought process that can be applied to any question and after enough time patterns will form so more problems can be solved. I think my strength as a tutor is my…

I believe the most important goal for a tutor is to give their students the tools they need to succeed. Tutoring is not only giving test answers, but rather, providing the tools and insight each an every person needs to overcome their unique challenges. I don't force my style of learning unto others. Instead, I try to recognize what each student…

I like to think of education as a conversation - tutoring can offer 1-on-1 contact with a student to allow them an equal voice in that conversation. As such, I think communication and listening skills are vital to understand a student's particular needs. Beyond that, the ability to "make learning fun" - an engaged student is a thriving one, and I…

The best thing I can do is to generate interest of the student in that particular subject. That way, the student can get his own way at that subject later on. I can grasp the concept as quickly as possible and make the best and the easiest approach to teach the child. In mathematics, I excel in topics like Trigonometry, Calculus and general…

I think understanding is the most important skill for a tutor to possess. Explaining a topic is one thing, but doing so at a level that is useful for the student is another thing entirely. As a tutor, you need to be able to understand what it is that a student already understands, what it is they are struggling with, and why they are struggling.…

A good tutor will be able to make a connection with their student, and can understand their individual needs as a learner.

Inside Cannon HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Rebecca focused on applications of derivatives in calculus and worked through long division of polynomials; she also reviewed exam questions related to these topics.

Year 10 sessions with Lincoln involved factorising quadratic expressions using HCF and the difference of squares, along with practice solving simultaneous equations from word problems.

Meanwhile, Year 7 Josh practised constructing frequency distribution tables for data sets and represented information visually using histograms and polygons.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Maths Methods student recently transitioned from General Maths and struggled to recall key rules for critical paths and exact form answers, as noted: "remembering the equation for critical paths." This meant extra time spent hunting through notes during problem-solving, rather than building fluency.

In Year 10, another student hesitated to attempt long division of polynomials independently—when faced with similar questions in revision, she waited for guidance instead of practicing on her own.

For a Year 7 class assignment, difficulty converting units was linked to skipping written steps; "she tried to do it all in her head," which led to confusion mid-question.

Recent Achievements

One Cannon Hill tutor noticed Rebecca, a Year 11 student, has started to openly ask for clarification on difficult classwork—something she was hesitant to do before—which is helping her tackle complex trigonometry problems more independently.

Dyllan, in Year 10, recently managed to solve polynomial long division questions with only minimal prompting after initially needing step-by-step guidance; he even began checking his own answers by expanding brackets.

Meanwhile, Kate (Year 7) completed an online formative quiz and scored 21 out of 21 after working through each question's reasoning together, finishing the session feeling accomplished and ready for her upcoming exam.

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 Carina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Oliver Plunkett School.
