Modern History Tutor Turner, ACT
As tutors, we can teach the kids the knowledge that they're learning in class, or help them with their assignments. But really, the single most important thing we can do for them is teaching them how to learn more effectively and independently. I have participated in multiple theatre performances and so, am a clear and confident speaker. My…

Modern History Tutor Lyons, ACT
Clarify concepts: I believe I can help my student better understand difficult material by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts and explaining it in a way that is easy to understand. Provide feedback: I can also give my students constructive feedback on their work, helping them to identify areas for improvement and grow as…

Modern History Tutor Mawson, ACT
Helping them understand the subject (as opposed to simply giving the answer and leaving no way for them to work their own way to it) (very) recent experience with doing these subjects at school, and apparently I'm good with kids, but it has been a while since I have had to…

Modern History Tutor Lyneham, ACT
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…

Modern History Tutor Denman Prospect, ACT
I believe the two most important things a tutor can do for a student are to aid them in the learning gaps they may have and to help them in building a positive relationship with academics. It is common that if students may have a negative relationship with subjects they are not very confident in. Building confidence in these subjects is one of the…

Modern History Tutor Bruce, ACT
I believe the best tutors are more mentors than teachers. A tutor should make sure every student is comfortable to participate in the learning experience. Students and parents expect a tutor to deliver personalised attention and guidance. A tutor should be able to deliver such service. A good tutor would make learning easier by involving the class…

Whether they are actually understanding and learning whatever the tutor or the teacher is explaining to them. Being a teacher is about teaching students to have their own critical thinking and actually understand the content of the study. They should know how to learn to differentiate between right and wrong and form their own opinion as they are…

A tutor should accept the student's skill level and understanding capacity and should always keep them encouraged towards positivity. He or she needs to boost the student's confidence to thrive for success without creating a sense of fear or pressure. A tutor also needs to create lessons that can make the learning process interesting and not…

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.
