The most important thing to me is the ability of a tutor to care for and listen to a student. The needs of a students is usually known by the student and is always important to not assume what the student needs but pay attention and listen to them. My strengths include being patient and altering my teaching style to suit the learning style of a…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is listen. Listen to their problem, why they may not understand a concept, and then help to solve the problem together. I think that having fun, is also very important. One of my main goals aside from helping a student understand the content, is to help the student enjoy the…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

As I said before, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is first of all get them excited about education or going to school or a specific subject, whatever their situation may be, as well as give them the tools, independence and knowledge to be able to achieve what they want out of school. I believe I am well-versed in a wide…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to create a comfortable environment where they feel safe asking any question, no matter how small, and to make learning an enjoyable experience. It’s also essential to build their confidence by helping them understand their strengths and develop the skills they need to succeed.…

The best thing a tutor can do is leave a student with the tools, knowledge and confidence to continue advancing their academic career without relying on the tutor or teachers.

A tutor can make a student love the subject he/she hates. The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, his/her interests, aptitude, and what he/she is inclined towards. If you have a basic idea of the student mindset you can develop techniques to make them understand the subject in a way they don't find it hard. Gamification…

Inside MawsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Harry worked on simplifying fractions and ratios by finding common factors, then practiced applying BODMAS to solve equations in the correct order.

In Year 9, Emily focused on index laws—including multiplication and division of powers—and began using scientific notation for large numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jacob learned how to find the turning point of a parabola and practiced graphing quadratic equations, using Desmos for visual support.

Recent Challenges

Most of the homework was done incorrectly, but when done in person he did them flawlessly—suggesting that independent practice and applying feedback outside sessions need strengthening.

In Year 9, messy formatting when working with hyperbolae led to confusion and repeated errors; one note said, needs to format her questions and answers a little better.

A Year 11 student frequently tried to solve quadratics entirely in their head rather than using pen and paper, resulting in missed steps and uncertainty about the underlying process.

Recent Achievements

In Year 6, one student who previously hesitated to speak up began talking aloud as she worked through challenging percentage and conversion problems—something she'd avoided before.

During a high school session, a Year 10 student independently corrected mistakes from his homework on quadratic factorisation, showing new self-reliance rather than waiting for hints.

Another senior student, after struggling with hyperbolae last week, was able to clearly explain the intercepts out loud and confidently analyse scatter plots by herself during the latest session.

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 Melrose High School.
