While I think it's important to assist students from an academic standpoint, I also think it's important for tutors to help students develop a sense of purpose in their studies. Teaching students to direct their motivations towards their goals, rather than solely their grades, can be just as important for their future as anything a tutor can…

I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a tutor's action, as it is the…

Inside Craigburn FarmTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver worked on building confidence with multiplication and division facts, as well as practising real-life time problems using visual aids.

In Year 10, Emily focused on drawing derivatives given the original function and explored key principles in circular motion and gravitation.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Josh tackled applications of integration to solve physics-based magnetic induction questions, working through multi-step problems for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student, when working on proof questions in maths, hesitated to start without clear strategies and sometimes avoided writing out the first steps—this led to confusion about what equations were needed.

In senior physics, a Year 12 student hadn't completed enough independent revision between sessions; "Hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done," noted one tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with retaining time and currency conversions from week to week, which slowed progress during new tasks.

Each case showed that gaps in process—rather than understanding—held them back at key moments.

Recent Achievements

One Craigburn Farm tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously avoided revision now dedicating extra time each week to exam prep, leading to much clearer understanding of equations and how to interpret them.

A Year 11 learner made real strides with magnetic induction—after struggling initially, he was able to explain the concept back in his own words by the end of the session.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student shifted from silently solving maths problems to enthusiastically sharing her strategies out loud, showing new openness and engagement she hadn't displayed before.

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 Blackwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Concordia College (St Peters Campus, Blackwood).
