The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is set them up to be organised, on task and have good time management. This is important for examinations especially and gaining independence in their studies. My strengths as a tutor are not only my social skills but my explaining strategies. I use visual aids when i’m teaching someone and I…

- Be approachable about any problems the student may be having in the area of study - be friendly, patient and accepting of the fact that everyone makes mistakes, helping the student overcome the challenges they face in the area of study without any judgement. This in turn builds confidence and comfort between tutor and student. Until year 9 I…

It is important to be cognisant that whilst clear explanation of theory is important to learning, an even more vital constituent element is allowing the student to develop their own intuition and understanding of a topic which can only happen through their own thoughtful practice. Our job as a tutor is not to tell students what to think but to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be empathetic. I remember my own struggles with learning and the shame that discouraged me from trying. I want my students to feel that their personal needs are important and to understand that intelligence isn't measured by the time or effort it takes to learn something. I…

Cater to their individual needs - some people fall behind in school not because they are "less intelligent", but because of the "one shoe fits all" approach followed by many of our schools. It is important distinguish each person as an individual learner, and adjust accordingly. I also strongly believe in comprehension over memorisation.…

Identifying the students' weaknesses is the most important. If you don't know their weaknesses, it would be difficult to target a specific area, which consequently makes the students unable to improve. I have been a high achiever in mathematical Olympiads, meaning I have an extremely thorough understanding of most topics in the subject. As a…

I strongly believe all students learn differently and have their own unique study methods, therefore it is important for a tutor to adjust to the student's needs and personalise the study session. However, I also consider it useful that tutors help develop new study habits and introduce new ways to learn whilst tutoring in a way that the student…

Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't.

I think the main role of a tutor is encouraging confidence in their students. I have found that most of the time my students know the answer, they're just too afraid to say it.

Inside Ferny GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily focused on division and multiplication using single-digit numbers, practicing with a mix of word problems and number sentences.

In Year 10, Jack worked through trigonometric identities to solve equations and also completed exercises involving basic matrix operations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily explored vectors by calculating scalar projections and dot products, applying these to questions about magnitude and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often arrived without books or materials, so the session started with searching for resources instead of learning.

In Year 12 Specialist Maths, notes lacked detail and context—one tutor observed, "despite having significantly more notes than before, these notes lacked context and detail," making revision confusing before tests.

A younger student (Year 3) repeatedly counted on fingers for basic addition and became frustrated during division tasks; this slowed progress and reduced confidence mid-lesson.

For one senior assignment, no new work had been completed a week out from deadline, leaving little time to seek feedback or refine responses.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ferny Grove recently noticed some genuine shifts: a Year 11 student who previously avoided speaking up began actively asking questions and even brought a notebook filled with detailed notes—something he'd never done before.

In a Year 7 session, the student arrived prepared with specific class questions and tackled her assignment independently, where she used to wait for step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, one primary student who had always counted on fingers is now solving base-10 addition problems mentally without prompting. Last week, that same student finished all ten problems without needing to stop for help.

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 Arana Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ferny Grove State School.
