I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to boost their self-confidence. Learning, like everything else, is dependent on one's perception of one's abilities. Students who are confident in their abilities are more likely to be motivated than students who think they will never succeed. I think my strength as a tutor would be…

The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to listen to their confusion, break down the problem and then explain and educate them methodically and appropriately to their style of learning. A tutor is not there to do the work for the student, it is a team effort wherein the tutor imparts understanding to the student so they can…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide understanding and gentle encouragement. It has been my experience that, if a student feels like the work is overwhelming and the teacher isn't listening, then the student will simply cease to care or give up. Listening to a student and helping them to work through what…

Having structured, logical and reasonable lesson plans unique to the needs of the student, and outlined learning objectives are essential. Learning style, strengths and weaknesses often vary among students and teaching methods often require reasonable flexibility.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide a framework for the student to understand the material that suits the student's way of thinking, as in a classroom setting the student doesn't get the opportunity for tailored learning and understanding that they do when studying with a tutor. I can understand more abstract…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being able to teach the student skills that can help them to utilise those skills not only in that particular topic but throughout their subjects. For example, showing a student to skim read to help them not only in English but in other subjects such as Modern History, Geography, Physics…

Help them understand the why behind the answers. Be supportive and patient during the learning process.

I believe patience, resilience, and the ability to think fast to generate alternate ways to regain the student's focus, particularly if they are on the younger side. Aside from paying attention to the student's attention span, more importantly, a tutor should be prepared on going about different routes to ensure understanding of course content and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think and learn. This is far more valuable for future work and study than any one topic to be learnt.

I believe that a tutor plays an incredible different role to the classroom teacher. Being a role that has one-on-one interaction with a student, a tutor's most important thing is to focus their practice and method to the individual characteristics of the student. An example of this could be having activities with high intensity and movement for…

To make sure they understand a concept fully, and why it makes sense, especially in maths and science. This helps to give the student confidence in that type of question so they are able to replicate it on an exam.

We found Anthony to be an excellent tutor. He was very friendly and helpful, even sending through an exercise for Anna to do after I told him we would not be continuing.

Inside DarraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Asher practised working with ratios and dividing by 10, 100, and 1000, as well as performing division that results in answers to two decimal places.

In Year 9, Mia focused on solving simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, alongside revising probability concepts through practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam tackled quadratic equations by learning how to factorise using the complete-the-square method and interpreted piecewise functions by sketching graphs and discussing their domains.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often attempted to sketch graphs in her head rather than working through the process on paper; as a tutor observed, "she finds herself trying to draw the graph in her head instead of organising her thoughts on paper," which led to avoidable inaccuracies.

In senior Chemistry, one student repeatedly left homework incomplete and rarely reviewed key definitions or formulas between lessons—this resulted in forgetting crucial terms like "dissociation" and confusion over when to apply certain calculations.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner's unorganised approach meant regularly misplacing notes and missing due dates, causing last-minute stress before assignments.

Recent Achievements

One Darra tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling algebraic application questions now independently applies the product-sum method to factorise even trickier expressions—last session, she finished a challenging set without asking for hints.

In senior chemistry, another high schooler who previously mixed up stoichiometry steps is now confidently balancing complex equations and distinguishing between mono- and diprotic acids on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often guessed at word problems has begun pausing to draw diagrams first; last week, he set up his distance–time equation himself before checking with the tutor.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School.
