Subjects can be tough, as a tutor, I need to find ways to convey the same subject in an easier, convenient way to…

One of the most important things that an english tutor can do for a student is not just learn the subject based on the books or resources but also learn them by heart. It might not seem important but it might be useful in the near future. Also, it is very important that the tutor and the student build a good relationship because it is easier to…

The most important thing for an english tutor is to adaptive to their students. Unlike a teacher in a classroom, a tutor deals with an individual or at most a small group of individuals. Which means that there is more room for the tutor to adapt their teaching style to fit their students. I believe that this is important because it allows the…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

As an english tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with…

Inside Holden HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily worked on identifying and comparing fractions, including finding equivalent fractions using visual models, and practiced converting uncommon denominators by finding the lowest common multiple.

Year 7 student Abiola focused on surface area calculations for cubes and rectangular prisms, measuring real-life objects to apply area formulas, as well as quick strategies for multiplying by multiples of ten.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Emma explored linear equations—linking tables, graphs, and equations—and was introduced to basic trigonometry concepts through right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student in Maths repeatedly guessed on challenging multiple-choice questions instead of working through them, as noted: "he was using trial and error to progress." This habit meant that deeper understanding wasn't developed, particularly for harder algebra and geometry tasks.

In Year 10 linear equations, another student struggled to manipulate y=mx+c due to gaps in organizing steps—missing connections between graph features and equation forms.

For a Year 5 writing task, one student's bare responses lacked descriptive detail because she avoided revisiting the storyline.

When homework (like design projects) was left incomplete in Years 9–11, it slowed skill-building for later assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Holden Hill noticed a Year 9 student who had previously needed constant prompting with surface area formulas start to identify and label dimensions independently, even using tricks for multiplying by tens without help—she finished the lesson saying, "this makes sense now!"

In Year 7, another student who used to hesitate when working through statistics assignments is now confidently calculating means and identifying outliers on her own.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently shifted from guessing during times tables activities to asking for clarification whenever she's unsure, making it through a tough multiplication quiz with only minimal 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 Ingle Farm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wandana Primary School.
