Personally, I think it is important to boost students' confidence in their abilities by providing positive reinforcement and constructive feedback. Additionally, promote analytical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than just memorisation of facts. And finally, offer emotional support and encouragement, helping students manage stress and…

I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

First of all, a tutor needs to build the teacher-student relationship in order to build trust and comfort in the learning space. A tutor should never see a student as weak, but rather, should see a student as progressive. A tutor should encourage and properly guide the student to better comprehend concepts in the subject being taught. A tutor…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to teach themselves. Instead of spoon-feeding students the answers to specific questions, a good tutor helps students understand how to think to devise a solution for any problem they encounter.

The most important things a tutor can do could be split into two parts. Academically, tutors are there to help the student to learn all the knowledge required for them to achieve better grades. Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam pressure,…

Local Reviews

Need help in year 12 mathematics
dainon Mitchell, Aberfoyle Park

Inside O'Halloran HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Liam reviewed congruence and similar triangles, focusing on practice test questions to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 10, Emily worked through graphing linear equations and finding midpoints between two points, using coordinate geometry problems to reinforce understanding before a test.

For Year 12, Jack explored the Central Limit Theorem and confidence intervals, comparing how different confidence levels impact interval width and the likelihood of Type I errors.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to recall exponent rules during assignments, leading to hesitation and confusion about which step to take next ("sometimes confused by which step to take, as there can be multiple options").

In Year 11, one student was missing their 'mini-theorems' book before a test—without it, key processes were harder to review and apply.

Another in Year 12 often hesitated when interpreting worded problems into algebraic form; this slowed progress on cost function questions.

For one Year 10 student, working with large text blocks made extracting relevant information tricky—time was lost re-reading instead of solving.

Recent Achievements

One O'Halloran Hill tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student's approach to algebra: after weeks of hesitating over expanding brackets, she independently completed several binomial expressions without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 11 student who previously avoided asking for help began pausing to clarify function notation questions rather than guessing—this new habit led to her correctly distinguishing between functions and relations on her own.

Meanwhile, a primary student made the connection between fractions, decimals, and percentages for the first time and confidently explained how they relate during practice problems.

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 Hallett Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Braeview School.
