I believe a tutor is a person who is there to support, guide and encourage students to not just settle for an easy answer but question and discover new things. I believe tutors should allow students to embrace their mistakes and learn from them, and use their failures as experiences. I try different methods with students who are unable to grasp a…

The most important thing for a tutor is to never underestimate a student, and to be there for them as a support and to show them that they can. If a student loses self esteem and think that they can't do it...they wont. It's all about giving them a healthy mindset which allows them to gain the knowledge given. My biggest strength i believe is how…

To truly let the students to understand concepts. Yes, achieving high marks and grades is important, but it shouldn't override the understanding of concepts in curriculums.

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is make the student feel truly listened to. When a student feels heard and understood, they gain confidence.

In the meantime I’ve managed the time and…

I believe a tutor is not sole to enhance the academic excellence of a student, but to help the student to develop personal skills in their character and morals as well. In my opinion, a teacher is the bridge between a child and their growth to become an adult. The personal character traits, morals and ethics they learn from school and teachers…

Inside CanterburyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom reviewed algebraic expressions and practiced solving simultaneous equations using substitution.

Year 9 student Olivia focused on trigonometry concepts, including the application of sine, cosine, and tangent to solve right-angled triangle problems, as well as interpreting angles of elevation and depression with diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah worked through differentiation by first principles and explored exponential functions, including how to graph their derivatives.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student often skipped assigned textbook questions in favour of PowerPoint examples; as one tutor noted, "she got very confused in the test," suggesting missed practice led to gaps under exam conditions.

For a Year 11 student tackling trigonometric functions, working was sometimes too brief and lacked detail required by examiners—this meant partial marks were lost even when concepts were understood.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, there was hesitancy to attempt written explanations: "she had to go back" when faced with unfamiliar formats, showing reliance on memorised rules rather than reasoning through new problems.

Recent Achievements

One Canterbury tutor noted a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after struggling to interpret exam questions, now asks clarifying questions before diving in and is making fewer avoidable errors as a result.

In a recent high school session, another student who used to rush through probability problems without checking their work began taking time to draw out tree diagrams and self-corrected mistakes that had tripped them up previously.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner who once hesitated to speak up about tricky fractions now volunteers strategies for simplifying answers during lessons and even suggested extra practice topics for next week.

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 Balwyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Strathcona Baptist Girls' Grammar.
