I listen to the students and cater to their needs. I have a more complete understanding of my fields than most others do. I organise my tutoring and teaching…

I think that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are these two things: Firstly teaching them what they need to learn (the subject you're tutoring), but more importantly, teaching them the skills of how to be confident and go find out what they need to learn and teach themselves. It is overall, teaching them the skills of how…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make learning clear, build the student’s confidence, and be patient and supportive. A good tutor helps students understand rather than just memorise, encourages questions, and creates a comfortable space where students feel confident to learn and improve. I think my strengths as a tutor are…

The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student. There is no one-size-fits-all study skills as every students have different interests and strengths. Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can for a student is to lead them on a path so that they might discover the answer themselves, and not give them the answer straight out. As a trained facilitator, I believe I would be able to identify my student's needs and work with them to fulfill those needs. I also have a proficiency in written…

A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten. The tutor should also be an aid to the parents to ensure they are happy with progress. Overall,…

The most important part of being a tutor is ensuring all pursuits are cerebral and remaining disciplined when working with children.

Inside Cherry GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby worked on applying the sine and cosine rules to solve triangle problems, as well as reviewing techniques for simplifying surds.

In Year 10, Daniel focused on test preparation for probability concepts—such as calculating event likelihoods—and practised solving quadratic equations by finding x- and y-intercepts.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace refined her research project proposal, clarifying research questions and structuring her investigation plan according to curriculum requirements.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, a student repeatedly omitted units and skipped steps when working with equations—one tutor noted, "She needs to show all working out and remember to write the units," especially during decimal division tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 10 English, paragraph structure and reflective writing required more focus; sentence connections felt abrupt, and deeper analysis of recounts was missing.

A Year 12 student's research report showed gaps in referencing evidence and connecting sections smoothly.

In each case, incomplete written process or weak structural habits made it harder to communicate reasoning or earn full marks on assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cherry Gardens noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with surd simplification now tackling these problems independently after just a few sessions.

In another session, a Year 10 student who previously guessed during graphing tasks started explaining how changing an equation affects its graph, showing real understanding rather than relying on trial and error.

Meanwhile, one primary school learner who rarely shared ideas before has begun volunteering their thoughts on how to improve experiments in science class.

Last week, that same student offered suggestions for making the next experiment even better.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scott Creek Primary School.
