Modern History Tutor Pearce, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student. All students have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is the responsibility of the tutor to understand their student as an individual in order to tutor in a way that is the most effective for a student to improve. For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

Listening to their needs and their struggles is vital to finding a way for them to enjoy school and the subject. You need to be able to push the student but in a way that helps them to achieve something they're proud of. Pushing them for results is usually only going to increase their frustration and dislike for school/learning. Tutors are in a…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills.

This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through.

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

Inside HughesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, along with applying scientific notation and significant figures using worksheets.

In Year 10, Maya practiced factorising and expanding quadratic expressions, then moved on to graphing and manipulating parabolas with step-by-step visual examples.

For senior high school, Ethan (Year 11) focused on trigonometric identities through targeted exercises, followed by deeper work on trig functions and the unit circle for exam readiness.

Recent Challenges

Time management challenges in maths exams for a Year 10 student resulted in lingering too long on difficult questions, leaving less time for others. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions she felt less confident in."

In Year 8 algebra sessions, a reluctance to write out all working steps led to errors in squaring within brackets that went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 5 learner, forgetting homework was frequent, causing repeated coverage of past concepts instead of progressing to new material.

A Year 3 student regularly waited for approval before answering, making her hesitant to attempt questions independently.

Recent Achievements

One Hughes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with graphing trig functions last term now drawing accurate graphs with minimal help and explaining their steps.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification started openly voicing questions about quadratic translations, leading her to solve new problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to rely on counting fingers completed timed addition tasks independently and even corrected earlier mistakes on their own during the lesson, showing real initiative.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hughes Primary School.
