Modern History Tutor Acton, ACT
Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through. Often as a tutor you must recognise that students who get tutoring need further help than what is being given and may have academic insecurity, so it is our role to help them improve on this and gain confidence in their learning, with hopes that…

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is boost a students confidence and connect with them. Throughout my education I have found that confidence is they key to being happy and boosting marks in a subject. Finding a connection with a student in a particular subject and fostering their joy in it is key to making long-term progress.…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do. Whether it is simply listening to troubles they are having with a class or with life, listening to the student is very important. As someone who has studied a wide range of topics throughout high school and college, I feel like I have a wide range of expertise.…

Modern History Tutor Acton, ACT
The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

We have had the pleasure of having Thanuja work with our son since late last year - She is absolutely wonderful. We value her expertise and wonderful teacher skills so much.

Inside SpenceTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sam focused on representing numbers and practiced addition and subtraction strategies, including the compensation method, to build confidence with basic operations.

In Year 8, Caledon worked on factorising quadratic expressions using the PSN method and revisited how to solve equations in standard form (mx+c), discussing the meaning of gradient and intercepts.

Meanwhile, Anise in Year 12 tackled applying the chain rule to differentiate compound functions and explored algebraic manipulation through challenging extension questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly forgot to complete assigned homework, which meant less time spent consolidating key methods between lessons; as one tutor noted, "he hadn't finished the homework assigned last week."

In Year 9 maths, another student's written work became hard to follow when mathematical grammar—such as correct use of the equals sign—was inconsistent.

During a Year 3 English task, difficulty proofreading led to missed capitalisation errors and confusion over basic grammar.

Without clear lesson planning in a recent session, learning darted between topics, leaving gaps unaddressed and making it harder for students to build on prior knowledge.

Recent Achievements

One Spence tutor noticed a high school student, Caledon, who used to hesitate with multi-step algebra problems now solving several on his own without needing hints—last week he finished his set entirely unaided.

Another secondary student, Anise, previously unsure about logarithms, was able to correctly choose and apply the right log law even in fully abstract variable questions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who had avoided reading aloud began volunteering to read passages and now checks her answers by referencing the book independently after each comprehension question.

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 Mount Rogers Primary School.
