Identify their gaps in knowledge. Sometimes you don't have to cover the entire curriculum, as they already know much of what they need already. I am committed and dedicated. I do not get frustrated at students for not knowing something - we were all beginners…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is listen attentively, and bring excitement into each session. Tutoring is more listening to the areas in which the student is confused rather than trying to explain everything. It is also essential to have enthusiasm about topics, because if you aren’t interested in a subject then the student who…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are explain concepts clearly, be patient and supportive, and help students build confidence and independence in their learning. I’d say my main strengths are patience, clear explanations, and adaptability. I’m good at adjusting how I teach depending on the student, and I aim to create a…

To be patient, supportive, foster a relationship with the student where they are not afraid or embarrassed to admit when they don't understand something, to ensure they say so as soon as possible, so that the tutor can fix their errors when they begin and correct their path to success. I am very patient, i like to explain things in very simple…

Inside Montagu BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 Scarlett focused on identifying Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary and practiced applying prefixes and suffixes, then moved to activities around correct punctuation usage such as commas and hyphens.

Year 12 Aimee revised key Organic Chemistry concepts using practice SAC questions and worked through stoichiometry problems including mole-mass conversions.

Charli, also in Year 12, reviewed the adaptive immune system by tackling relevant exam-style questions before recapping principles of CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology from earlier units.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes became overwhelmed by complex questions and "overcomplicated the nature of some questions," as one tutor noted, leading her to miss essential details or skip applying key rules like labeling units.

In Year 7 English, Scarlett often hesitated to start writing due to doubt about her ideas, which stalled progress on tasks such as memoirs and creative stories.

Meanwhile, Cameron's punctuation work in Year 5 was hampered by frequent spelling and grammatical errors that remained uncorrected in drafts. These moments slowed confidence building and made editing or revising more challenging during sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Montagu Bay tutor recently noticed Aimee openly asking for clarification on challenging topics—whereas she used to keep quiet when unsure. This new habit has led her to tackle complex equilibrium and stoichiometry questions more independently, even attempting problems before they're covered at school.

Meanwhile, Charli in Year 11 Biology demonstrated a shift by proactively highlighting her weaker areas during sessions and using diagrams and notes to work through tough concepts—something she hadn't done previously.

In a middle school English session, Cameron confidently answered every adverb question correctly after struggling with this last term and then drafted a creative short story using their own ideas.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Montagu Bay Primary School.
