Psychology Tutor Whitlam, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Psychology Tutor Wanniassa, ACT
Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

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.
