Every student has individual strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, the ability of a tutor to always adapt to the needs of the student is most important. In doing so, providing feedback for improvement and implementing effective study techniques is essential for enabling the student to tackle problems independently and maximise their long-term…

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…

A tutor is most useful for tailoring teaching styles and content covered for a student's particular way of learning and the concepts that they do not grasp. Tutors are able to fill the gaps that are left in classroom teaching, while providing a fun and positive environment that encourages students to learn. I am able to break down difficult…

We are really happy with Roy's tutoring of our daughter. He has gained her trust and rapport and is steadily increasing her confidence with Maths.

Inside DuffyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily focused on proofs of congruent and similar triangles using SSS and RHS tests, and practiced calculating scaling factors for similar triangles.

In Year 10, James worked on balancing chemical equations, including writing net-ionic forms and naming polyatomic ions, as well as making experimental observations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah reviewed binomial distributions by calculating expected value and variance from exercises and explored Bernoulli distributions in preparation for assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a pattern emerged: "Careless mistakes in complex math," such as missing terms and incomplete exam responses, were often linked to time management struggles.

One session noted blank answers on the test—he ran out of time before attempting all questions.

In Year 8 algebra, skipping steps in multi-part problems led to confusion about what each symbol represented; as one tutor observed, "He tended to jump ahead or skip basic steps."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student repeatedly forgot to bring required materials for long division practice, which slowed progress week-to-week and left homework incomplete.

Recent Achievements

One Duffy tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, now openly asks clarifying questions mid-lesson and tackles practice problems much more independently.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to make repeated errors in balancing chemical equations not only recognised all polyatomic ions correctly but completed equation-balancing tasks far faster than before.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student—who had struggled with area and perimeter concepts—solved several worded problems without prompting and explained each step out loud as he worked through them.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Duffy Primary School.
