A tutor’s most important role is to build confidence, not just deliver information. This means creating a supportive environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. A tutor should identify gaps in understanding, provide clear guidance, and teach effective study habits. Most importantly, a tutor…

A tutor needs to help the students understand the concepts and the "why" behind the problem. This allows them to be able to solve problems on their own and increase their confidence. Creating a judgment-free and supportive environment, where students can ask questions and mistakes are not punished, is essential for a tutor to help a student…

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…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subject matter they are teaching enjoyable to learn. This is important because learning should be something we actively engage in and if a tutor can make it so the students seek out learning more readily then they have already succeeded in some sense.

Inside RidgewayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Scarlett focused on identifying Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary and practiced applying rules for capitalisation and punctuation using targeted activities.

Year 11 student Aimee worked through detailed stoichiometry questions, particularly on mole-mass conversions, and then revised Organic Chemistry concepts by reviewing practice SAC questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Charli consolidated her understanding of the adaptive immune system and tackled a set of exam-style questions to apply these learnings to likely assessment scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Chemistry student, Aimee, sometimes became overwhelmed by complex questions and tended to overcomplicate her approach rather than breaking problems into manageable steps.

As one tutor noted, "She needs to be more meticulous when applying the rules because it is easy to make small errors such as incorrectly assigning the longest carbon chain."

Meanwhile, Scarlett in Year 6 English often rushed through reading tasks, skipping words and losing meaning; this led to missed cues in sentence structure exercises and confusion when transferring ideas into writing.

These patterns meant time was spent correcting basic misunderstandings instead of building new skills or confidence.

Recent Achievements

Aimee has become much more proactive about her learning—she now regularly attempts challenging chemistry questions before lessons and openly highlights areas where she needs extra help, rather than waiting to be prompted.

Another secondary student, Charli, showed new independence by using diagrams and notes to solve biology problems she had previously struggled with, confidently identifying her own gaps as we worked through practice questions.

Meanwhile, Cameron (Year 7) demonstrated a big shift in creative writing: after initially hesitating with grammar feedback, they revised their story draft by actively seeking suggestions and then incorporating them into the piece.

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 St Michael's Collegiate School - Sports Campus.
