The most important things for a tutor to do for a student is ensure their confidence stems from understanding not just knowing the answer to a question but instead the theory behind it. A tutor should ensure a student understands the theory behind a concept and how they got their rather than the finishing product. Through this, a tutor gives a…

Tutor O'connor, ACT
There are a couple of things which I think a tutor can do for their students (1) Understand their way of thinking and interact in a way which is more familiar to them. A tutor must have different ways to put across the same concept to different students. A single way may not fit everyone. (2) A tutor must be available for the students at any…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is listen. Listen to their problem, why they may not understand a concept, and then help to solve the problem together.

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Local Reviews

Josh is great and an excellent fit. Our daughter is happy.
Jo

Inside DicksonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Owen focused on algebraic techniques and revising for a test on networks and graph theory, working through assigned school problems and discussing weighted graphs.

In Year 9, Isla spent her lesson reviewing probability concepts like conditional probability using classic real-world scenarios, then practiced with venn diagrams and tree diagrams to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

For primary, Year 5 student Rhys drilled surface area and volume formulas for 3D shapes using flashcards, then addressed mistakes from his recent test by practicing fraction operations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, one student repeatedly needed reminders to recall the basics of reactions (e.g., hydrogen and oxygen forming H₂O), revealing weak retention due to not keeping a science notes book.

Another in Year 9 Mathematics depended heavily on solution formulas and struggled when asked to solve x + x = 6 without reference materials—needs to write working out down, as noted.

In Year 8 Probability, forgetting or confusing algebraic rules made rearranging P(A) + P(not A) = 1 difficult, causing uncertainty mid-question.

These habits led to lost confidence and time spent searching for forgotten facts instead of building deeper understanding.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dickson noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle algebraic expressions now working through expanding brackets and factoring with much less prompting, even recalling the process after just one reminder.

In senior chemistry, another high schooler answered questions on chemical bonding independently—last term, he needed step-by-step help for similar problems.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to guess quietly during reading tasks now speaks up confidently to offer answers and has started reading new passages out loud without waiting for encouragement.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Daramalan College.
