The tutor- student relationship should be viewed as a partnership. As a tutor, my ultimate goal is to help the student become an independent learner. Patience and being a good listener are essential for achieving learning goals. I always try to adjust my techniques and approaches to meet the learning styles of the student. I believe communication…

To be responsive and constructive, I felt that I learned the best when I felt connected with the teacher and the class. It can be distracting to feel uncomfortable whilst learning.

I believe in the importance of developing a student's own independent thinking skills, so that they gather the confidence to correctly respond to any problem that an exam or test may pose individually as I, the tutor, will not be there to help in assessments. By doing this, the student can cement beneficial study habits and obtain their academic…

As a former student, I believe that a student learns best when they feel comfortable any question and not judged. As a tutor, I will ensure that the student is in a safe environment and would listen to any concerns they may have.

In particular, for younger students, I believe that tutors can and will help to lay the foundational stones that will provide the driving force to empower students to their best. Even if a…

A tutor should do more than simply teach a subject for a student.

1. A tutor should understand the different needs of different students and find a way of teaching that best suits them. So preparing suitable material for different students are very important. 2.

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.
