Structure what needs to be taught in a way that is personalised to the strengths of the student. There isn't a one size fits all way of teaching, so i believe the most important things that a physics tutor can do for a student is learn their strengths and how they learn best, and then adjust the topic in a way that helps them learn in an easier…

The most important thing a physics tutor should do is instil confidence in their students. For a student to gain confidence in their academic ability, a sound understanding of fundamental concepts, and ability to problem solve is crucial. Therefore, I have a strong emphasis on developing problem solving strategies and these core concepts relevant…

Empathise: A tutor should provide encouragement, build confidence, and create a safe space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

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.
