Modern History Tutor Lyons, ACT
Clarify concepts: I believe I can help my student better understand difficult material by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts and explaining it in a way that is easy to understand. Provide feedback: I can also give my students constructive feedback on their work, helping them to identify areas for improvement and grow as…

Modern History Tutor Turner, ACT
As tutors, we can teach the kids the knowledge that they're learning in class, or help them with their assignments. But really, the single most important thing we can do for them is teaching them how to learn more effectively and independently. I have participated in multiple theatre performances and so, am a clear and confident speaker. My…

Modern History Tutor Denman Prospect, ACT
I believe the two most important things a tutor can do for a student are to aid them in the learning gaps they may have and to help them in building a positive relationship with academics. It is common that if students may have a negative relationship with subjects they are not very confident in. Building confidence in these subjects is one of the…

I believe it is essential to understand your student, and adapt your teaching and communication style to benefit their learning style, age, personality, and knowledge. It is important for a tutor to really believe in their student, and do all they can to help them excel. I believe I have excellent communication skills as I am able to adapt to each…

I believe the best tutors are more mentors than teachers. A tutor should make sure every student is comfortable to participate in the learning experience. Students and parents expect a tutor to deliver personalised attention and guidance. A tutor should be able to deliver such service. A good tutor would make learning easier by involving the class…

Whether they are actually understanding and learning whatever the tutor or the teacher is explaining to them. Being a teacher is about teaching students to have their own critical thinking and actually understand the content of the study. They should know how to learn to differentiate between right and wrong and form their own opinion as they are…

A tutor should accept the student's skill level and understanding capacity and should always keep them encouraged towards positivity. He or she needs to boost the student's confidence to thrive for success without creating a sense of fear or pressure. A tutor also needs to create lessons that can make the learning process interesting and not…

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…

Inside DeakinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, as well as applying scientific notation and significant figures in worksheet problems.

In Year 10, Mia focused on factorising and expanding quadratic expressions and practiced graphing parabolas to understand their features visually.

For a Year 12 session, Lucas revised implicit differentiation techniques alongside kinematics applications, and continued preparation for his upcoming mathematics exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived at lessons without completed homework or the necessary worksheets, leading to time spent revisiting last week's concepts instead of progressing—one tutor noted, "I asked him to bring out the stock market sheet and he said it was with his mum."

In Year 10, a pattern emerged where note-taking during sessions was so slow that only half the planned content could be covered.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student struggled with organizing revision materials, which meant previous errors on latent heat questions went unaddressed.

These process gaps led to lesson time being diverted from new learning to repeated reviews and searching for misplaced resources.

Recent Achievements

A Deakin tutor noticed one high school student who, after previously relying on hints for equation rearrangement, now independently checks her work and corrects small errors without prompting.

Another win came from a Year 10 student who used to guess through surface area problems but recently broke down composite shapes into simpler parts with much more confidence and accuracy.

In a younger session, a primary-aged learner shifted from quietly working alone to asking the tutor for help when stuck—something he'd hesitated to do in earlier lessons—then read out his solution step-by-step.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Canberra Girls Grammar School - Junior School.
