Science Tutor Gordon, ACT
I think one of the most important things is friendly behaviour with students. If the tutor gets familiar with students, then students can explain their studies problem. Firstly, I love to take face to face class where I can interact with students and can know their level. Secondly, I always start with basic formulas and then slowly proceeding to…

Science Tutor Isabella Plains, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the student is…

I believe that creating a supportive learning environment is the most important factor. It's not just about helping them get the right answers, but also feeling capable and motivated in studing. A good tutor should provide consistent and patient guidance so that learning becomes less stressful. I'm patient and have the ability to explain concepts…

Local Reviews

I liked Michael instantly! Michael was punctual and organised prior to every lesson. He remained committed throughout and even accommodated us when our timetable changed, particularly leading up to exam time. We were pleased with the progress our son had made. Michael was able to teach our son the concepts and how to apply them. It was a successful match. I always appreciated Michael's honesty and would always give us feedback after each lesson. Michael was very much appreciated. Thank you Michael!

Inside GordonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Christian practised solving simultaneous equations and worked through basic algebra problems, while Year 8 student Sophia focused on functions and term substitution to strengthen her understanding of algebraic relationships.

In Year 10, Ben tackled quadratic equations—applying both the quadratic formula and factorising methods using the null law for different types of quadratics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student arrived to sessions without maths notes several times, making it difficult to review previous work—"No book again today," one tutor remarked, leaving multi-step graph problems incomplete.

In Year 8, another student's revision for upcoming exams focused only on recent material; topics from earlier in the term were neglected and not independently reviewed at home.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner sometimes avoided writing working for division and word problems, trying to solve everything mentally, which led to confusion when errors crept in.

Missed preparation or inconsistent study habits meant more time spent catching up than consolidating skills.

Recent Achievements

A Gordon tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, initially hesitant to ask for clarification, is now confidently letting the tutor know whenever something doesn't make sense—making their sessions more productive and targeted.

Another high schooler made real strides with quadratic graphs; after struggling with variable changes before, he can now explain how altering each part of the equation affects the graph's shape.

Meanwhile, in a younger year group, one student who was previously unsure about measuring angles has become consistent and accurate with a protractor and now solves angle problems independently every session.

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