I believe that listening to the student is among the most important things a tutor can do. It is imperative that the student feels comfortable to share concepts that they feel unfamiliar with, therefore building a relationship with them is crucial. Having a good understanding of the student's optimal way of learning is also beneficial to the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is pose as their mentor than just a teacher. By doing this, a student will feel safe, and empowered; this in turn will make them learn better. Moreover, it is important for a tutor to build their confidence. It is essential to build on the weak areas of a student. Additionally, a…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

Local Reviews

I switched to online-tutoring subsequent to my school's closure. At first, I truly didn't believe it could substitute for my regular in-person tutoring. After 3 weeks of online-tutoring, I am genuinely considering making the switch permanent! The virtual classroom is super quick to get the hang of and is overall really simple to use. I love the fact that the tutoring session can take place from practically anywhere (with WiFi); from my desk at home, from the library or even from my grandparents' house. Most importantly, the learning experience is essentially the same, or perhaps even better than in-person tutoring! I find online-tutoring to be highly engaging and interactive, leaving no room for distractions. Overall, very satisfied!

Inside UrrbraeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emma focused on indices and scientific notation, including reviewing her recent indices test and practicing calculator skills for complex calculations.

For Year 10, James tackled trigonometry concepts such as sine, cosine, and tangent, as well as worked through balancing chemical equations in chemistry using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia reviewed key macroeconomics content—covering the definition of an efficient market and exploring producer/consumer surplus and externalities—with practical application to current assignment questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Chemistry student hesitated when converting between units and struggled to link molar enthalpy with heat of reaction; as one tutor put it, "she needed extra time moving between formats."

In Year 10 Economics, an assignment was nearly forgotten—organization around deadlines remains a challenge.

For a Year 8 Maths student, confusion arose with mixed integers in addition and subtraction until quick reminders helped clarify the steps.

Meanwhile, another senior student avoided outlining responses until prompted, which led to stronger answers but showed that planning written work is still developing.

Missed or incomplete homework also appeared in several lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Urrbrae recently noticed a Year 10 student who had struggled with trigonometry start to apply sine and cosine rules independently to solve area problems, even after initially hesitating with application questions.

Meanwhile, a senior economics student showed real initiative by revising her assignment after teacher feedback—editing her work and successfully drafting a new introduction on her own, rather than waiting for step-by-step guidance.

In Year 7 maths, one student began openly asking about homework doubts instead of quietly skipping tricky problems; last session, he attempted all the complex questions set by the tutor 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 Fullarton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Urrbrae Agricultural High School.
