Psychology Tutor Cook, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Psychology Tutor Bruce, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

Psychology Tutor Lawson, ACT
It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

Nathaniel managed to engage with both Jeremy and Christopher – I am very impressed that he managed to work with Jeremy for so long, he did very well. Both boys are eager to continue with the sessions.

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.
