Biology Tutor Braddon, ACT
I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

Patience and an emphatic approach to teaching are essential for a tutor. Students may lack confidence, be overwhelmed with material, and be stressed. Therefore, it's important to be considerate and patient. This approach can also help understand students' misconceptions and errors by being patient, and listening to students can reveal what areas…

The best way to learn anything is to show genuine interest in that topic. Tutors should not only assist students in specific areas, they should also engage with the student in a manner that makes the student interested in…

Inside CookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Olivia worked on mastering the 4 and 5 times tables, using card games to make practice engaging.

Year 9 student Ethan focused on solving simultaneous equations and explored break-even analysis with real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie revised the laws of indices and practiced converting between surds and rationalized denominators for greater fluency in algebraic manipulation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, a student often relied on visual flashcards for multiplication facts, recalling answers quickly with these aids but hesitating during oral drills—"she performs very well, almost instantly, when we use them, whereas…purely oral exercises…it is a bit harder." This reliance slowed her independent recall in times tables.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student left multiple chapters of homework incomplete (e.g., "Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions") and struggled to stay organized with revision materials.

For a senior Methods student, incomplete note-taking across chapters led to difficulty revisiting key differentiation techniques before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Cook tutor recently noticed a Year 6 student, Evie, moving from relying on her fingers for basic math to confidently using flashcards and answering all the 6 times table questions without hesitation—a big shift from earlier sessions when number patterns were confusing.

In high school maths, one Year 9 student who previously needed help with indices now independently answered every question on index laws correctly during their last session.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who tended to rush through problems started double-checking their answers before moving on, catching two small errors themselves in their latest session.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's Primary School.
