1. A tutor should try to make the learning of a subject as enjoyable as possible. 2. A tutor should try linking every concept (if possible) with the real-world as it will make understanding relatively easy for students. 3. A tutor should connect with the student in such a way that the student should feel free to clear even his slightest of…

Improving a student's perception of the subject, from a hated monster, to an enjoyable and curious endeavour, is a critical and often undervalued element of tutoring. It is crucial that the student walks away from the lesson with a real-world understanding of how what is taught is important to society and our understanding of the universe. Lastly,…

For me, the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is working out the best strategy that suits the student. That does not merely mean helping the student to solve a problem but also building up their confidence and provide them a method that they could use for themselves in the future. My strength would be a strong background of…

1. Help the student to build up good learning habits. For example, rather than answering the question right away, one should read the question very carefully and figure out the solving strategy accordingly. No rush in math learning and problem solving. 2. Give the student good learning suggestions to enhance their learning abilities. For example,…

As a tutor, I believe that not giving up on the student no matter how much he struggles to understand the concept is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student.

Tutors have to let students make mistakes. Afterwards, tutor has to tell them why such mistake is derived logically. That is way we learn. I have been solving maths for my whole life.

Based on my experience, I think it is very important to not only teach/lecture the knowledge/skills to prepare the students for a particular test or subject. It is also important to train the student to have the ability to seek answers on his own. In short, I believe in "teaching someone how to fish is always better than giving him a fish" in…

I believe building a relationship with the student is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student, as it allows the tutor to recognize that each student has their own unique learning styles. These can only be identified during a session when a rapport between the student and tutor is established, and once this connection is made…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in their subjects. By clarifying and helping them practice concepts that they have learnt at school, taking tutoring lessons builds their confidence in answering questions in school and during exams. A tutor should also be a mentor to their students, and…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make students feel comfortable enough to ask questions without feeling judged. When students aren’t scared of getting things wrong, they actually start understanding the content instead of just memorising answers.

Stephanie, Kingsford

Inside DaceyvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Despina worked on understanding the area and volume of 2D and 3D shapes, along with practicing perimeter calculations.

Year 8 student Michael focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and applying the Pythagoras theorem to geometry problems, using visual examples for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophia tackled chemistry syllabus content by reviewing electron configurations (spdf notation) and exploring trends in periodicity, including atomic radius and first ionisation energy.

Recent Challenges

Frequent reliance on calculators for basic operations, such as times tables and simple addition, made it harder for the Year 9 student to build fluency in index laws ("less use of calculator and a more thorough understanding and memorisation of times tables…").

In Year 11 Chemistry, incomplete memorization of polyatomic ions led to slower progress during ionic equation tasks.

For a Year 5 lesson, one student jumped quickly to answers without fully writing out working or reflecting on key phrases from questions, which meant missed details when reading texts.

During a senior selective-style test, another student struggled with time management and needed extra practice under timed conditions—she finished late and felt frustrated.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Daceyville recently noticed a Year 10 student who, after struggling with algebra, began working through examples independently and now occasionally solves problems without prompting.

In another session, a Year 9 student showed new initiative by finishing a research task on her own, whereas before she needed frequent reminders to stay on track.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has started reading out loud more confidently during comprehension activities and now actively eliminates incorrect answers instead of guessing.

Last week, a high schooler completed her science report on time for the first time this term.

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 Lionel Bowen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Catholic Primary School.
