Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't. Including the student in the lesson is very important. I used tutoring in highschool, so I have a good idea of how to frame my lessons and adjust…

Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic. I've always been told I'd be an excellent teacher- my habit is to always make sure a tutee has…

Give them Confidence. Encouragement. Excitement to learn. The comfort and courage to make mistakes and to learn from them in not just academics, but in their development is something that I believe in.

A tutor is somebody who is most significantly; approachable. While a student can learn from a thousand different ways , a tutor is meant to expose them to those ways so that they achieve their goals. Keeping the deadlines in check, their is a responsibility to make sure that all of the essential learning is checked off the list to…

Always be a support system academically for their student and listen to their concerns and questions. It is also important to be adjustable and able to adapt to any changes of learning styles for a student. However, the most important thing for a tutor to do is to always believe in them and their ability. I am very patient and good at problem…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to listen to the student, as well as teaching. Encouraging the student to provide their input on a topic without having any pretentious predelection will allow the student to become more confident in their learning. I have the ability to gage the student's difficulty and work with them from that level.…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them confidence. When a student has confidence they are willing to try and take risks and this is when learning can take place. I have a confident but relaxed manner which helps me build a strong rapport with students quickly. During my time at Ashlyns School, I built good…

Inside GriffinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Poppy worked on understanding scale factors and calculating the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms, using class examples for practice.

For Year 10, Dirk focused on graphing linear functions from equations and revising index laws with flashcards to reinforce key concepts.

In Year 12, Ella tackled integration techniques including finding the area under a curve, building up her skills with worked examples from recent assignments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student struggled to complete homework consistently, leading to repeated gaps in remembering how to solve quadratic equations—"he often forgets how to do the questions in a later session."

For a Year 11 assignment, another was unsure about requirements but did not seek clarification from the teacher, which meant key parts were left incomplete.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student sometimes rushed through linear equations and missed sign changes; messy or incomplete working made it hard for her to check answers later.

In primary years, skipping written steps slowed down progress with times tables and worded maths problems.

Recent Achievements

One Griffin tutor recently noticed Dirk, a Year 11 student, making a real shift—after struggling with quadratic equations, he began solving problems with little assistance and even completed most questions on his own by the end of the session.

In another case, Ella (Year 10) started flagging whenever she was unsure about linear functions, instead of staying silent; now she insists on understanding each question fully before moving forward and tackles mini quizzes independently.

Meanwhile, Callum in primary school moved from hesitating over his 6 times tables to recalling them confidently and jumping into division questions without prompting.

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 North Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Griffin State School.
