The most important part of being a tutor is ensuring all pursuits are cerebral and remaining disciplined when working with children. If you start moving off-topic then the essential time has been wanted for both parties, at the same time however you must also ensure that the children do not get board, overall productivity decreases when students…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make learning clear, build the student’s confidence, and be patient and supportive. A good tutor helps students understand rather than just memorise, encourages questions, and creates a comfortable space where students feel confident to learn and improve. I think my strengths as a tutor are…

It is important that a tutor be supportive and encouraging of students in their learning, to never underestimate the potential of their students and believe in them.

It's crucial to not only help students understand the material but also to build their confidence and show them that they are capable of solving problems on their own. Providing the right level of…

A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten. The tutor should also be an aid to the parents to ensure they are happy with progress. Overall,…

A tutor should always be available for their student. According to me, a tutor should always try to convey their message as politely as they can which should be in a language a student can easily understand I am confident and have great leadership skills. Being myself a student I can easily understand the mindset of a…

I believe the important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show patience and determination to increase the confidence and self-esteem of the child. To do this a teacher must really get to know the student, their learning styles and strengths and weaknesses, to make customisable plans, which attract students to learn and result in better…

I am so impressed with our tutor John. He has engaged my son from their first session and has made math a positive experience.

Inside Scott CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lucas worked on applying the sine and cosine rules in trigonometry as well as solving worded probability questions.

For Year 10, Priya reviewed techniques for rearranging algebraic equations and practiced factorisation of polynomials, using graphing to reinforce connections between equations and their visual representations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Noah focused on understanding compound interest calculations and explored real-world applications involving appreciation and mortgages.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student often skipped showing working in algebra tasks, leading to errors that "should've been an A considering his understanding of the topic."

For a Year 10 assignment, incomplete explanations meant reasoning was unclear and lost marks in multi-step geometry proofs.

In Year 4, forgetting to write units on measurement questions resulted in confusion over final answers.

A Year 11 English student's paragraph structure remained underdeveloped; as noted, "needs to focus on the reflective aspect of the recount," which left their ideas disconnected and feedback unaddressed after drafts.

Recent Achievements

One Scott Creek tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through exams and lose marks on "silly mistakes" now slowing down to double-check answers before moving on, especially with algebra questions.

In another session, a high schooler who previously hesitated to ask for clarification during lessons began pausing mid-problem to request help with tricky graph interpretation—a big shift from quietly guessing.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student showed real independence by switching between decimals and fractions without prompts, after struggling with conversions last term.

Last week, that same student finished all ten practice problems without any calculation errors.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scott Creek Primary School.
