Creating a safe space where the student feels heard, supported and respected is a key factor that plays along with an optimistic attitude towards mistakes. Lastly, patience and empathy are highly regarded personal…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the…

Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

A tutor is similar to a learning support assistant in schools, they are there to assist the teacher and they do lots of jobs to help students achieve learning goals. A tutor does the same thing except there is no classroom it’s just you and the student. I think just encouraging and supporting them as they navigate through their learning…

Help them gain confidence in themselves and uplifting them in the process. To do this I think its important to ensure the student is still self sufficient (not just given the answers).

Inside TuggeranongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eva practised addition using coins and mental strategies, building confidence by linking maths to everyday scenarios.

In Year 8, Olivia worked on interpreting boxplots and scatter plots, as well as solving inequalities through targeted exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam focused on quadratic equations—solving them both by factorising and applying the quadratic formula—with extra attention given to recognising when each method is appropriate.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student arrived to the session without having completed any extra revision for an upcoming exam; as one tutor noted, "we need to work on building independent study as a habit."

In Year 11 Maths, lesson planning and preparation remained inconsistent—sometimes no specific topics were chosen before sessions, making it harder to target weaknesses.

For a Year 8 student, written solutions in algebra were messy and often lacked clear formatting, leading to repeated errors that went unnoticed.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student frequently left homework incomplete or incorrect but could solve similar problems accurately with support during lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Tuggeranong tutor noticed a Year 10 student who'd always hesitated to speak up during lessons now regularly explains his thinking aloud while tackling algebra and boxplot problems, showing real initiative where he once stayed quiet.

In a recent high school session, another student started using study cards to break down complex exam questions—she used to just copy notes passively, but this time she suggested writing out the steps herself and even asked for more practice problems.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who struggled with protractors last term now measures angles independently and double-checks her answers without prompting.

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 Tuggeranong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charles Conder Primary School.
