I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

The best thing a tutor can do is leave a student with the tools, knowledge and confidence to continue advancing their academic career without relying on the tutor or teachers. I'm quite smart but also good at talking and listening to people. I see one of my strengths as being able to articulate an idea in a simple way, especially with Economics,…

The biggest part of tutoring is adjusting to the various communication styles of each student, when students rely on visuals to understand a topic, the tutor needs to present graphs or sketches to exemplify formulas in a more visual manner when students prefer to learn using examples the topic needs to be translated into more tangible manners.…

I see no student a failure, and I will take their failure as my own. The most quintessential thing any tutor can do is adapt to the student's way of thinking and guide them to success. When you help others, you grow in the process. There is no important thing a tutor can do for a student apart from working on themselves to aid the student better…

As said earlier, a tutor is not someone with a "rat-race" kind of approach to learning with zero engaging feats. The most important thing is being keen on motivation. Since I plan teaching students from a primary to higher level each level would require motivation in a very different way. For e.g. engaging primary level students with a minor…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

Helping students understand the importance of learning is the main key. Students need to learn the importance of an educational journey. A classroom of 20 plus students may not always give them the individual attention that is needed. a tutor can help bridge the gap for attention and contact that a classroom may not allow and thereby help students…

I believe the way a concept is framed is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student.

There are a few things I consider to be the most important. First, be honest, if we don't know how to do it well we can not teach. Then, be patient, sometimes it is hard for students to absorb all the knowledge. And we should be a good listener, and willing to share our own learning experiences. I had experience in teaching math and guitar, all my…

Rachel

Inside DownerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Owen revised algebraic techniques, including expanding and factorising expressions, as well as checking solutions using Pythagoras' Theorem.

For Year 9, Hannah worked through a variety of probability concepts such as conditional probability and Venn diagrams, practising with real-life examples and diagrammatic representations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Rhys focused on the surface area and volume of 3D shapes, reinforcing key formulas with electronic flashcards and addressing areas for improvement in fraction work.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, one student showed vague recall of key reactions and required several reminders to describe the process of hydrogen and oxygen forming H₂O; this gap in specific knowledge left him unable to confidently explain chemical changes.

A Year 10 Maths student hesitated when unfamiliar with algebraic expressions involving variables—when asked for the probability of drawing a red marble from X red and Y green marbles, he felt stuck and attempted to use incorrect strategies.

"Needs to write working out down," noted a tutor after observing over-reliance on notes during problem-solving in Year 9, which masked underlying conceptual gaps.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Downer noticed a Year 11 student who used to make repeated errors in algebra now independently spotted and corrected her own mistake while working through weighted graph problems—something she'd hesitated to do before.

In chemistry, another high schooler who struggled with understanding chemical formulae last term was able to explain the process of atoms sharing electrons and answered related questions without any prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who previously relied on help for word problems created her own shortcut using the five times table to quickly work out percentage discounts, showing new initiative during their {Downer tutoring} session.

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 Emmaus Christian School.
