In my eyes, one of the most important aspects of a tutor would be the ability to see things through the student's perspective. Being able to pinpoint exactly what the student needs help with can make the entire learning experience more efficient and a lot more rewarding overall. It also makes the student feel a lot more comfortable, as a learning…

The most important part of tutoring in my opinion is being able to adapt to different students requirements, and noticing what each student needs most from you. Some students need someone to slowly work through problems and teach them the process, while others need someone to help enforce good habits and routines rather than purely just teaching,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to find out what works well for them. Each student might understand something slightly differently. Understanding this and working with each student as an individual can help work out each individual students' way of understanding things. With this information, the students'…

At the fundamental level a tutor's role is to make sure that a student understands the material. Therefore, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to go over mistakes made in previous tests/assessments and ensure the student has a good understanding of the previously covered topics and principles before moving on. Additionally,…

make sure they're on the right track with their studies and even if you don't know the answer for yourself, be sure to steer them in the right direction of where they can find the information.

A tutor can help increase a student confidence in a subject. Confidence is important in academics and can cause an improvement in marks, mental wellbeing and overall happiness in students.

Inside MarmionTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Paige focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, as well as practicing multiplying with decimals using test questions for extra reinforcement.

Year 9 Benji worked through all key algebra skills for his upcoming test and spent time mastering equations of linear graphs by tackling a comprehensive study booklet.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Paige revisited challenging finance questions from a recent test and practiced applying clear steps to similar exam-style problems to boost confidence for future assessments.

Recent Challenges

Missed two consecutive homework assignments on midpoints and correlation, which limited their readiness for lesson activities ("Did not do homework set").

In Year 11, a student avoided writing out equations fully during algebra tasks, making it difficult to spot and fix calculation errors.

For one Year 10 trigonometry topic, overconfidence meant "he believes that he is OK" despite an exam result of just 33%, so gaps went unaddressed until the test.

In primary years, messy or incomplete working was noted in fraction simplification, sometimes causing confusion when revisiting problems later.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Marmion recently saw a Year 10 student who had previously been anxious about index laws, but after working through each rule, he completed all the practice questions without making his usual mistakes.

In a senior high school session, another student surprised himself by quickly adapting to new types of graphs and data; where he once hesitated with interpreting features of parabolas, he now describes them confidently and solves factorising problems more smoothly.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, one student was initially hesitant with long division but persisted and managed to complete several sums independently before the lesson ended.

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 Duncraig Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marmion Primary School.
