I think that a physics tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a physics tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can…

A good tutor should aim to understand the way their student thinks and aim to tailor the lesson to best suit their individual learning style. In addition, a good tutor should be motivating, encouraging and friendly so that the student is not afraid or hesitant to ask for assistance or say they don't understand a particular thing. As someone who is…

I believe that the most important I can do for a student is being a role model that a student can be comfortable to ask questions and address problems and issues within their academic career. Eliminating the fear of being looked down upon for not understanding a concept and the loss of moral is the first step to improving learning and growth. This…

Be adaptable. Everyone learns differently and it is the tutor's job to be able to work with the different learning styles. I find that this is the most challenging to get the grasp of as it varies widely across all sorts of students, however, once a physics tutor learns how a student processes different problems and is able to cater their…

The most important thing that a physics tutor can do for the students is to motivate and encourage them to do their best. I believe that results are mostly achieved through the effort of the students themselves, so as a tutor I try my best to cover all the concepts and to provide my students with support materials, but I also make sure that my…

The most important this that a physics tutor can do for a student, is to keep in mind that tutoring is not the same as giving a lecture. That needs to be reflected in the adaptation of the tutoring session to the individual student. This can be done by lowering or raising the level if needed, speeding up or slowing down, and providing precise…

I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject.

I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a physics tutor's action, as it is…

The most important things a physics tutor can do could be split into two parts. Academically, tutors are there to help the student to learn all the knowledge required for them to achieve better grades. Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others.

This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to…

Inside Happy ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on congruency and similar triangles, using practice problems to reinforce understanding before an upcoming test.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through solving simultaneous equations and interpreting worded problems involving linear relationships.

For senior maths, Year 12 student Grace reviewed confidence intervals and critical values in statistics, including how to use sample size calculations when testing claims.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student was missing the book with 'mini-theorems' in it, which made applying the correct rules during rearranging questions harder—retrieving materials from school became a priority.

A Year 11 student tackling calculus struggled to allocate time effectively on their test: "Consider how many marks each question is worth, as a guide for how long the answer should be."

In Year 12 statistics, occasionally not labeling graphs or detailing method limitations held back higher-level marks in investigations.

During advanced trigonometry, over-erasing and rewriting answers meant less time reflecting on errors before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Happy Valley noticed a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on worded geometry questions now confidently works through finding equations of lines and applies the distance formula without prompting.

In a recent Year 12 session, a student who struggled with interpreting summation notation managed to solve expected value problems independently and even received an A- on his last test—a big step up from previous results.

Meanwhile, a younger high schooler who hesitated to ask for help now openly checks their reasoning out loud when tackling tricky fraction-decimal-percentage links.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Braeview School.
