The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure they feel supported and allow them to take the lead. Students need to have the ability to decide what to study in tutoring classes and be able to study with the tutor after sessions independently. I can create a comfortable and supportive environment for students as I am patient…

The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to create a transformative learning experience. Of course, being a tutor that can explain concepts well is a vital but beyond that, in my opinion, exceptional tutoring is where the tutor can support and cultivate self-growth and self-reliance in students so they can carry on these habits…

I can teach…

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…

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.

Tutors should be able to convey information in a way that not only makes sense, but engages the student.

Inside Ferny HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Cohen practised division and multiplication, focusing on problems with single-digit factors and divisors.

In Year 10, Madelyn reviewed her maths assignment by interpreting teacher feedback and revising her written responses for improvement.

For Year 11, Maddy explored scalar projections and dot products in vectors, applying these properties to solve questions involving magnitude and angles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, leaving maths assignments until the weekend before they're due led to rushed edits and missed opportunities for deeper feedback—"he hadn't made any progress since our last session even though the task was due in 2 days."

A Year 9 student sometimes avoided showing working in Desmos equations, making it hard to spot where errors crept in.

In Year 7, forgetting materials meant an entire lesson lost to organization rather than learning.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student struggled with multiplication fluency, which slowed progress when tackling new problem types.

Each of these moments cost valuable practice or insight right when it mattered most.

Recent Achievements

One Ferny Hills tutor noted a big shift with a Year 11 student who arrived to sessions with her own set of targeted questions after previously being hesitant to speak up in class; now she takes the lead, pinpointing exactly what needs clarification.

Another high schooler made a breakthrough by not only applying teacher feedback to his assignment but also independently deciding which sections to strengthen—a step up from waiting for direction.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 student who used to skip tricky words is now sounding out each letter and going back to fix mistakes as soon as they're spotted.

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 Patricks Road State School.
