Science Tutor Garran, ACT
Through my time at university, I have found the ability to be patient is what separates my current tutors apart. A willingness to stop and answer questions, that some may be too scared to ask, has certainly improved my learning opportunities. The notion of ‘no stupid questions’ in my Power Electronics course this semester has been a great…

There are a few but I think the point of a tutor is for reinforcement. There is no way that a tutor will be able to pump out as much content as a student will be able to consume from traditional school, however with the 1 on 1 nature of tuition, tutors can take topics a lot further than a teacher would for an entire class. Not only this, a tutor…

Local Reviews

We were allocated a brilliant tutor, Benju Sharma, who is working so well with my son and his understanding of maths is improving. Benju always turns up on time and is ready and prepared for the lesson. She is good at keeping my son on track and he has actually started enjoying maths! Thanks for your help, we are super pleased with Benju and the huge effort she puts in.

Inside TorrensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student James focused on multiplication and division strategies, working through practical examples to build confidence with both operations.

In Year 8, Chloe practised algebra and straight line graphing, using diagrams to plot equations and interpret graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan concentrated on surface area and volume calculations for 3D shapes, applying formulas to real-world-style questions for extra context.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often solved problems in her head, leading to missed steps and confusion during algebra tasks—"more writing as he solves the problems," noted one tutor.

In Year 10, inconsistent formatting and skipping backchecking led to recurring mistakes with hyperbolae and boxplots.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student regularly mixed up multiplication and addition in written work; homework was sometimes left incomplete or done incorrectly until reviewed together.

In Year 11 English, a student's essay paragraphs lacked clear analysis because ideas weren't organised before writing. These habits resulted in time lost clarifying errors instead of building confidence or advancing skills.

Recent Achievements

One Torrens tutor noticed a Year 8 student who had struggled with algebra now working through problems aloud and using a new five-step process, showing real independence compared to her earlier hesitation.

In a high school maths session, another student moved from confusion about hyperbolae and boxplots to confidently explaining intercepts out loud—he even performed well on his recent test after practicing this skill.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to be quiet is now eager to learn, openly asking for help with addition and subtraction, and recently finished all the set problems without 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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Torrens Primary School.
