Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

Tara

Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

As a reliable and motivational tutor, I lead by example demonstrating initiative to commence and finish projects. I set clear expectations and monitor performance against agreed plans with key performance indicators.

Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

Hugo

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think to be dependable and reliable is the best thing for a student, so that they can feel safe with asking for help from their tutor. A student must first feel safe around their teacher so that they can more openly accept guidance and assistance. I consider myself a very friendly and approachable person. As someone who experienced academic…

Michael

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

I believe it is essential to understand your student, and adapt your teaching and communication style to benefit their learning style, age, personality, and knowledge. It is important for a tutor to really believe in their student, and do all they can to help them excel. I believe I have excellent communication skills as I am able to adapt to each…

Inside ForrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sarah worked on solving surface area and trigonometry problems, focusing on applying formulas to real-world contexts.

In Year 10, Ethan completed revision for a test on indices and logarithms, as well as practicing questions on financial maths including compound interest.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Priya tackled matrix operations—addition, multiplication—and applied these skills to problem solving tasks drawn from her current curriculum.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student repeatedly avoided writing out steps when solving algebraic equations, saying "I know the answer in my head," which led to sign errors that went unnoticed until checking time.

A Year 12 student preparing for calculus struggled to keep work neat and concise during folio tasks; as a tutor noted, "the more jumbled her layout, the harder it was for both of us to follow her reasoning."

In a Year 11 session, another student hesitated to attempt challenging questions independently—once prompted, progress was made, but initial uncertainty slowed momentum and left less time for feedback.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Forrest recently noticed Eliza, a Year 10 student, is now catching her own mistakes when rearranging equations—a big step up from last term, when she'd often wait for hints.

Meanwhile, Ajay in Year 12 has started asking more targeted questions about calculus problems instead of just nodding along, showing real ownership over his learning.

In a younger group, Jordan (Year 6) has begun explaining the rules of indices out loud while working through practice questions—something he used to avoid for fear of getting them wrong.

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