Tutor Canberra, ACT
I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to provide ongoing support and encouragement. It is crucial that tutors not only identify but also highlight the unique strengths of each student. This approach empowers tutors, as it allows them to build a better connection with their students and instill confidence in their abilities,…

Tutor Yarralumla, ACT
I consider the transference of inspiration to the student to be the most important and fulfilling thing a tutor can achieve. From inspiration births a work ethic, an attitude and an independence within the student that carries through their whole life. I believe that as an individual, you are your own CEO, CMO, CFO etc. As such, by teaching the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them reach their full potential. I believe that each student has an individual learning style, and a tutor's role is to understand their students and tailor tutoring sessions around this idea to help their comprehension of a particular topic and make learning a more exciting…

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

The most important thing is to prepare fully for each lesson. I believe that both the student's and the tutor's time are precious. If a session is not well planned and structured, students are likely to walk away confused but unlikely to seek further clarification. Although the teacher might have saved planning time, they have restrained students…

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.
