I will consistently encourage all my students to always try, and practise, and try again, until they master whatever they were first struggling with. Their dreams become my dreams for them, so I will never let my students give up on reaching their goals. Improvements do not happen overnight, but whenever they do happen, no matter how small, I…

I believe guidance and support in the right direction can be incredibly helpful. Back in 3rd grade I wasn't very good at math and felt very discouraged in class, but my tutor saw potential in me and encouraged me a lot. She taught me that being good at math isn't just about excelling at a subject, it's that being good at it gives you the freedom…

Offer the tools for them to solve the problem themself. Give them the understanding and knowledge to get to the answer rather than just giving them the answer.

I assert that successful tutors are able to build strong relationships with their students as it personalizes learning. Another thing is to teach to the student's strengths and minimizes the students weaknesses.

It would have to be that a tutor can teach a student a one on one lesson and help him improve his understanding about different ways to approach a maths or english problem which will in turn help the student extremely in the future.

I think the most important thing a tutor can be is patient and supportive. As tutors, we have already completed these subjects, and so we know the 'pressure points' and ways to deal with them.

I was extremely impressed with Akash. He connected well with my daughter and was able to explains things in an understandable manner. Her confidence and enthusiasm was noticeably different after a single session.

Inside St AgnesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Marley revised area of rectangles, triangles, and circles using step-by-step worked examples.

For Year 9, Olivia practised algebraic factorisation and surd simplification with a focus on null factor law.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ben tackled growth and decay problems alongside work on exponential functions and logarithms to consolidate understanding for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 algebra, one student avoided writing working and instead "did everything in one go," leading to repeated errors when entering calculations into the scientific calculator.

For a Year 9 test, over-reliance on cheat sheets and hesitation to skip time-consuming questions meant less time was spent on high-value problems.

In a Year 11 lesson, confusion with units—especially converting area measures—caused mistakes that weren't always spotted during revision.

A Year 4 student's workbook showed unclear layout when dividing fractions, making it hard to check answers or spot pattern errors; this left them feeling unsure about next steps after each question.

Recent Achievements

One St Agnes tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after struggling to distinguish between mark-ups and mark-offs, could finally solve most percentage problems on his own by the end of their session—he started off confusing "% of price" with final sale amounts but got it right after guided practice.

A Year 11 student who was hesitant about algebra at first began tackling equations independently, even redoing mistakes without prompting and getting almost all answers correct.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student surprised her tutor by quickly picking up how to round decimals and confidently solved area-of-circle questions using the formula without help.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ridgehaven Primary School.
