Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

This is where the tutor jobs come in and provide a customized learning experience that is ideal and unique to each student. Tutors are like safety inspectors where they 1. Recheck their…

Obviously bumping up grades. But before that comes there is the massive component where the tutor is able to let the student feel like they actually know what they're doing. Instilling confidence in someone and helping them to not feel dumb can change the way they approach learning and improve everything about their academic life. Coming from…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help build their confidence. A student is able to do anything, learn anything but only if they believe that they can do it or learn it.

Truly the most important thing any tutor can do for a student is to help create and cultivate a growth mindset. By doing this, students become lifelong, innovative learners. This certainly occurs in the classroom, but teachers are expected to do this to upwards of 20+ children. Tutors are important to students because they assist in expanding…

Generally, students that seek the help of a tutor are struggling with the approach of their teacher to explaining a certain subject.

Inside LabradorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophie worked through **ratio problems** and time zone conversions, also tackling basic probability concepts using real-life examples.

In Year 10, Riley focused on **trigonometry fundamentals** and applying sine, cosine, and tangent rules to solve triangle questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Suneha deepened her understanding of **logarithmic functions**—practicing graphing them as inverses of exponentials—and explored differentiation techniques like the product and quotient rules with step-by-step problem solving.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student skipped writing steps in algebra, saying "I can do this in my head," but ended up missing sign errors and struggled to catch mistakes when simplifying.

In Year 7, a student left homework incomplete due to other schoolwork, making it harder to reinforce basic multiplication and division.

One Year 11 learner didn't use test time well—she finished early but left questions blank, missing chances for extra marks.

A senior student in calculus hesitated to attempt new question types, sticking only with familiar practice; this slowed progress with tricky derivative problems and dented her confidence mid-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Labrador recently saw a Year 11 student who used to freeze when faced with time series data now confidently analyse and interpret patterns on her own, showing real independence.

Another high schooler had always been hesitant to ask for help but is now openly raising questions during calculus lessons and double-checking her answers instead of quietly guessing.

In Year 7, one student initially struggled with volume calculations and often skipped writing units, but after working through examples together, he started getting the right answers and consistently included correct units in his work.

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 Mobile Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Musgrave Hill State School.
