The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

I would consider the most important thing a tutor could do, would be to teach their student more than they knew to begin with. It's a very simple statement, but it gets to the heart of the matter I feel.

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it.

Patience and an emphatic approach to teaching are essential for a tutor. Students may lack confidence, be overwhelmed with material, and be stressed. Therefore, it's important to be considerate and patient. This approach can also help understand students' misconceptions and errors by being patient, and listening to students can reveal what areas…

Inside ScullinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby focused on converting rates using the unitary method and practiced solving real-world word problems involving percentages and ratios.

Year 9 student Tom worked through linear inequalities and graphed straight lines, then extended to finding midpoints and distances between points on the Cartesian plane using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James tackled differentiation techniques, including applying the chain rule and practicing with questions involving tangents to curves.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to ask for help during algebra sessions, a pattern also noted in his regular classroom—this reluctance left errors unaddressed and slowed progress on solving equations.

In Year 10, another student tended to skip labeling triangle sides in geometry, making it harder to identify orientation and leading to repeated confusion; as the tutor described, "he finds himself getting stuck because the layout isn't clear."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner relied heavily on visual flashcards for times tables but struggled with oral recall without them, meaning instant fact retrieval was much weaker when tested verbally.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Scullin noticed a real shift with Jensen (Year 9), who previously hesitated to seek clarification but now consistently asks for help and even prepares questions ahead of sessions—something he never did before.

In senior maths, Callan (Year 12) had struggled to confidently apply index laws, but recently began using the power rule accurately and built on his understanding of limits.

Meanwhile, Evie (Year 4) used to rely heavily on her fingers for basic calculations; after practising verbal math games and using flashcards, she answered all her six times table problems perfectly without finger counting.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Southern Cross Early Childhood School.
