The obvious impact is to help them learn and understand the concepts covered in class as well as practice vital skills in preparation for them. I also believe that it is a tutors role to create a safe, respectful environment, built on mutual understanding and without judgement. A really good tutor should also develop skills, habits and a mindset…

Challenge · Reassure · Consolidate A tutor's most integral role is to harness the power of these 3 pillars of tutoring to establish a nurturing learning environment where students are encouraged to think innovatively and step out of their comfort zone. Tutor's must also engage with students to ensure their learning needs are being met and…

The most useful thing tutors can do for students is being able to come up with alternative explanations to help students understand concepts better, while being patient in needing to repeat problems over again and providing many similar questions on the same topic. I believe my strengths include being able to communicate in a friendly manner, have…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is dedicate as much time and effort needed for the student to fully understand the topic. Especially with math based subjects, if the student doesn't fully understand one topic, it is possible that the student can't understand harder concepts. -Explaining complex concepts in the most…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not only nurture them through the subject, but also in life in general.

Any tutor, mentor, educator, or teacher all have something different to offer their students: but the goal is the same and it should be this: to help empower those who can't empower themselves in order to bring forth the best version of that individual into the world. It is through education, knowledge and the reciprocation of knowledge that…

The students already have teachers at school. Rather than being just another teacher figure, a tutor is also a mentor that travels on a journey alongside the student. As such, the most important things they can do for the child is to be compassionate, patient, and support the child with the goals they want to achieve. I am patient, I take the time…

A tutor can do many things for their students. They should be able to motivate, support, inspire and teach from the heart.

It went extremely well and Hugh was very happy with Jonathon and his teaching.

Inside HeckenbergTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ariana worked through index notation and square roots, focusing on the relationship between powers of two and square roots as well as solving equations involving these concepts, plus time conversion between hours and minutes in decimal form.

For Year 8, Josh practiced squaring numbers and finding square roots while also simplifying fractions and converting between hours and minutes.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Zara focused on long division by understanding terminology and process, alongside building habits like neatness in her maths book.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Mathematics, one student's written working was often unclear—long division steps were done mentally or skipped, making it difficult for her teacher to follow. As noted: "her answer is correct but her working out is confusing and may not be accepted by her classroom teacher."

Exam revision showed lost notes on angles led to confusion and incomplete answers.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly left homework unfinished before lessons and struggled with times tables, slowing progress in division.

In English (upper primary), avoidance of reading tasks due to dislike meant key vocabulary wasn't reinforced, so comprehension questions remained challenging.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Heckenberg noticed Ariana now tackles long division questions on her own after previously needing reassurance and step-by-step help. She recently completed homework with zero mistakes and even chose to do extra problems independently.

Another high school student moved up to higher-level maths after excelling in his recent assessment; he maintained strong performance at the advanced level, showing real growth from earlier struggles.

In a primary session, Arabella overcame hesitation with rounding numbers—at first unsure, she worked through corrections and ended up getting every question right without support.

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 Miller Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Heckenberg Public School.
