I consider tutoring to be important in two ways: academics and self-growth. Being a tutor to me means bringing out the best in someone academically as well as providing them with the tools they need to become independent, life-long learners. I think a great tutor is someone who can help their student grow to love and appreciate the subject of…

To find a way to explain problems to a student that suits that particular student, as you can explain something to someone for a long time, but they may still be unable to understand it if it isn't presented in a way that is suitable for their learning style. I think it is also important to be able to answer questions outside of the tutoring time…

I enjoy what I study…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating lesson plans and methods based around that student.

Local Reviews

Easy to set up and we have a great tutor
Clayton

Inside StonyfellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alyssia worked on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators, alongside creative writing that focused on using commas and exclamation marks.

In Year 10, Ethan tackled equations of straight lines—identifying gradients and y-intercepts—and practised graphing them accurately.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Grace reviewed titrations in Chemistry, focusing on calculating molar ratios and manipulating the n = CV formula for various titration scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4, a student's handwriting made their work hard to follow—random capital letters in the middle of sentences disrupted clarity and slowed review. "Sentences need to be conscientious and not rambling," one tutor noted, as unclear written expression muddled key ideas.

In Year 10 maths, another relied heavily on worked examples rather than attempting new problems independently; this habit meant that when faced with unfamiliar algebraic questions, they hesitated instead of applying concepts creatively.

A senior chemistry student often checked formulas instead of trusting recall during molar ratio tasks, which interrupted flow and reduced confidence under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Stonyfell tutor noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who, after initially struggling with titration equations, was able to solve complex problems independently by the end of the session.

In Year 10 maths, another student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now comes prepared with specific questions and actively steers sessions toward their trickiest topics.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has started applying fraction techniques on their own with fewer reminders than before and can explain how commas separate ideas in writing—something they often missed earlier.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
