Tutor Mawson, 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…

Tutor Yarralumla, ACT
I consider the transference of inspiration to the student to be the most important and fulfilling thing a tutor can achieve. From inspiration births a work ethic, an attitude and an independence within the student that carries through their whole life. I believe that as an individual, you are your own CEO, CMO, CFO etc. As such, by teaching the…

Tutor Reid, ACT
I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

Tutor Red Hill, ACT
The most important thing is to prepare fully for each lesson. I believe that both the student's and the tutor's time are precious. If a session is not well planned and structured, students are likely to walk away confused but unlikely to seek further clarification. Although the teacher might have saved planning time, they have restrained students…

Tutor Canberra, ACT
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…

I can not speak highly enough of Mark and his tutoring. He has helped my son so much and is a very intelligent person. Anyone that has Mark as a tutor is extremely lucky.

Inside JerrabomberraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ari focused on statistics by practicing mean, median, mode, and range calculations as well as creating box-and-whisker plots and interpreting outliers.

In Year 9, Noah worked through essay planning for English, including developing thesis statements and topic sentences for an analytical essay on Tim O'Brien's novel 'The Things They Carried', and also practiced writing vignettes inspired by the text.

For Year 3, Josh completed basic addition exercises using number lines and jump counting, then moved to addition with counters to reinforce mental arithmetic strategies.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student deleted an entire essay after a teacher requested a new format but did not respond to feedback emails or submit drafts for review—this reluctance to share work limited editing opportunities before the extended due date.

A Year 9 student "forgot to bring his homework" for two consecutive lessons, meaning time was lost revisiting previous tasks rather than progressing with new content.

In primary maths, a Year 4 student's written work remained messy and steps were skipped when solving problems involving area and perimeter; as one tutor observed, "he needs to be neater in his presentation of work."

Recent Achievements

One Jerrabomberra tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with essay structure now taking the initiative to email their thesis drafts and questions between lessons, leading to much clearer arguments in their writing.

In Year 8 maths, another student, after hesitating to ask for help before, has started openly discussing confusing problems—he's now working through linear equations step by step rather than skipping tricky parts.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once rushed reading tasks is now pausing to make predictions about story outcomes before moving on, showing more thoughtful engagement with texts.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jerrabomberra High School.
