In my opinion, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to help them discover their unique learning style and foster independence. By encouraging curiosity and an active interest in their studies, the tutor empowers the student to take ownership of their learning journey, building confidence and skills that extend beyond…

I think the fundamental aspect of tutoring is the dedication of time to the student and their understanding. Ensuring that they are comfortable and confident with their learning and being a guide along the way is at the heart of being a good tutor. For me, tutoring is about finding the keys to a few important concepts - about finding how they…

I am very understanding and patient. As a child who came to…

Listening to their questions, as many children are too scared to ask questions in class, and I hope to provide them a safe space for this. I also think it's important to be flexible, to work with what the kids need. Especially with younger children, who may not necessarily know what exactly they're struggling with. - Patience - Good understanding…

Tutors do the same things a good teacher does - i.e., providing students with an encouraging, and motivating atmosphere to learn to foster interest in a subject. They, however, also give an additional benefit - individual attention. Therefore, they can play a big role in a student's education. They can be a friend and guide, helping them in each…

I believe the way a concept is framed is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. My Year 11 and 12 Maths Teacher, Mr Rocks, would always explain to our class how different people's brains work in different ways (e.g. geometrically, analytically) so while one concept might make a lot of sense to the tutor/teacher, the way…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student interested in whatever subject they are learning. The best way to learn anything is to show genuine interest in that topic. Tutors should not only assist students in specific areas, they should also engage with the student in a manner that makes the student interested in…

Inside TurnerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Anton practised long multiplication and division alongside reading comprehension, and also spent time developing rhythm skills in music through hands-on clapping exercises.

For Year 8, Charlotte reviewed surface area, volume, and perimeter problems using practice questions to prepare for an upcoming test, then tackled algebraic fractions with a focus on multiplying and dividing complex expressions.

Meanwhile, Tom in Year 9 refined his English essay on Of Mice and Men by exploring themes of the American Dream, and revised linear relationships in maths ahead of his test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student faced difficulty maintaining logical written steps in algebra, with a tutor noting, "he skipped showing steps in rearranging equations, which hid sign errors." This often meant time was lost tracing mistakes instead of moving forward.

In Year 7 English, one learner's messy handwriting and tendency to rush made their sentences hard to follow—sometimes the grammar suffered as a result.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling probability struggled to recall sampling methods under timed conditions; even when understanding the theory, lack of structured revision led to avoidable confusion during more complex tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Turner noticed a big shift with one Year 11 student who used to hesitate on complex algebra but now independently tackles expanding binomials and even remembers the steps for tricky parabolas from previous sessions.

Another high schooler, after struggling to start essays, now jots down discussion points between lessons and brings well-prepared outlines—she's even watched extra films to deepen her analysis for English.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often guessed at times tables is now confidently doing quick mental multiplication and checks his work before moving on.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Turner School.
