I believe that the way you are taught and the encouragement you receive along the way has a significant impact on a student's performance. Hence, I believe that teaching a student to be confident in themselves and their…

I also think that it is important for tutors to create a comfortable learning environment for…

The most important thing would be to teach a student that studying shouldn't be a chore, and that giving it their all matters more than receiving a perfect grade.

I believe the most powerful way an english tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they…

Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.

Inside GreenhillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alyssia focused on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators, then practised creative writing using commas and exclamation points.

In Year 9, James revised coordinate geometry by graphing points in different quadrants and determining if given points lie on specific lines.

For Year 11 Chemistry, Alyssia tackled titration calculations by applying molar ratios and rearranging n = m/M and C × V equations to solve practical problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student's session highlighted ongoing challenges with handwriting—mid-sentence capital letters and rambling sentences made their work hard to follow, sometimes causing ideas to get lost.

In a Year 10 algebra lesson, the tutor observed: "He preferred to look at what he'd already done rather than try new questions," revealing an over-reliance on prior answers instead of attempting unfamiliar problems.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student repeatedly referenced formulas instead of applying concepts independently during multi-step calculations; this slowed progress when adapting methods to new types of exam questions. The hesitation lingered even as test deadlines approached.

Recent Achievements

One Greenhill tutor noticed that Oscar, a Year 5 student who previously hesitated with fractions, was able to work through fraction problems almost independently this week and started using commas correctly to separate ideas in his writing after reminders.

In a recent high school session, Alyssia showed real progress in chemistry: after needing step-by-step support with titration equations at first, she completed mixed-ratio questions entirely on her own by the end of the lesson.

Meanwhile, Lucy, also in high school, demonstrated new initiative by identifying her weak points in statistics and tackling practice questions with far less reliance on previous examples than before.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
