Tutor Torrens, ACT
- In addition to academic support, it is important to recognise that students often encounter personal challenges that can impact their studies. I firmly believe that extracurricular interests and hobbies should enhance their lives rather than feel burdensome. Therefore, I think it is important to work collaboratively with students to help them…

Tutors are useful in the way that if a student didn’t understand how something was explained in class, we can offer different and more in depth explanations to help them achieve this understanding. Ensuring a student feels comfortable enough to ask questions is the most important thing a tutor can do in my opinion. That I am supportive, positive…

It is also important, however, to help inspire confidence in the subject, and hopefully a passion, so that they continue to succeed…

Inside GowrieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on mastering boxplots and scatter plots, as well as working through a range of algebraic inequalities.

For Year 10, Ethan practiced solving quadratic equations both by factorising and using the quadratic formula, along with sketching related graphs to interpret solutions visually.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam worked on simultaneous equations using substitution methods and reinforced his skills in expanding and factorising binomials through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, a student arrived without having completed any extra exam revision since the last session; as one tutor observed, "we need to work on building independent study as a habit."

Another Year 9 student frequently came unprepared, unable to identify which topics needed review before tutoring began.

In Year 7 mathematics, homework was often left incomplete or done incorrectly at home but finished correctly when supported in person—suggesting a gap in independent application.

For a primary student, distractions and talking led to lost focus during lessons, with simple arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction sometimes confused as a result.

Recent Achievements

One Gowrie tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to exam prep—after struggling with revision strategies, he started writing key problem-solving steps on cards during sessions and referred back to them unprompted, helping him tackle practice questions more independently.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to hesitate when something didn't make sense is now confidently letting the tutor know exactly where she needs help instead of staying silent.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who previously counted on fingers surprised his tutor by solving addition problems quickly without needing any physical aids or reminders.

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