I believe that a tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms of…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is motivate the student and help build their love for the subject. Helping the student let go of their fear of the subject can not only help them in the present but also aid them in their future endeavours. I personally am aware of the feeling of fearing a subject but also conquering this fear by…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not only teach content but to be there as a mentor. Exam periods, life and post-school options can all be stressful for students and it is vital that a tutor can mentor students throughout this through stress mechanisms. This, coupled with effective teaching methods and provision…

I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to engage the student in a way which makes them want to keep learning that specific subject if not fall in love with it. At the end of the day motivation must come from the student themself and as a tutor I believe it is my job to help the student find that motivation. I believe my…

As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student. I believe my strengths include my patience and communication skills. I always found reading a textbook over and…

Not just give the student answers but help them understand how they got to the answer that way even when you are not there, they can still complete their assignments at a satisfactory level. I'm patient, I cannot move on until I'm sure my student has understood. I'm also pretty thorough, going from the basics to the level that the child is trying…

Throughout my academic career, I have had many tutors. My favourite tutors have been the ones that have been patient and flexible with me. I think being patient towards your students allows a space where minds can grow and learn. Patience shows that you (as a tutor) want the student to be eager and try and tackle the problem before you assist them…

Be able to explain concepts simply and in different ways until the student is able to understand. Also be calm and patient and understand that students can struggle to grasp certain concepts and may take time to understand them. I'm patient and understanding.

Inside Mount StuartTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isaac worked through quadratic equations in Maths—tackling harder problem types—and in Chemistry focused on writing ionic compounds and naming covalent compounds.

For Year 9, Sophia revised index laws, simplifying expressions under the square root, and practiced converting decimals to fractions using homework examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Eve solved questions involving unit conversions and simple ratios, as well as finding missing angles in triangles and quadrilaterals.

Recent Challenges

Several process habits limited progress across year levels.

In Year 9, incomplete homework repeatedly interrupted skill-building; as one tutor noted, "she could not finish her assigned homework again," leaving gaps in coordinate graphing.

A Year 10 student struggled to explain mathematical reasoning—"needs improvement when it comes to explaining why the answer is what it is"—which made advanced trigonometry comparisons harder to grasp.

Organization issues also emerged in senior years: a Year 12 student arrived unprepared, without their online textbook ready, slowing down chemistry problem-solving.

In English (Year 11), lack of cohesive sentence structure led to confusion during essay drafting and left ideas underdeveloped.

Recent Achievements

A Mount Stuart tutoring session saw one Year 10 student, Jacinta, bring in a draft essay that had already incorporated feedback from both her schoolteacher and the tutor—something she'd hesitated to do independently before.

Meanwhile, Eve (Year 11) not only pinpointed where she lost marks on a recent maths test after reviewing textbook exercises with her tutor but also began tackling complex binomial theorem expansions without needing step-by-step guidance.

In primary, Sophia moved from struggling with division to completing several problems entirely on her own and immediately asked for extra questions when finished.

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 Citylibraries Aitkenvale—or at your child's school (with permission), like Enkindle Village School.
