I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Inside WestonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Sam focused on converting fractions and decimals to percentages, and practiced addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators.

Year 9 Sami worked through factorising by grouping and calculated the volume of prisms and cylinders using formulae.

For Year 10 Tiana, lessons addressed solving simultaneous equations by elimination as well as finding the area of circles and parallelograms, using diagrams for visual support where needed.

Recent Challenges

During recent lessons, a Year 9 student relied on a calculator for basic multiplication and squared numbers, slowing progress in more complex test questions; as noted, "requires calculator for simple multiplying (x 3 etc.)."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing assessment pieces faced procrastination challenges—study planners were suggested to manage multiple upcoming exams but deadlines still crept up.

In Year 7 English, missing or incomplete homework drafts led to last-minute writing sessions instead of refining arguments. These patterns meant valuable time was lost on foundational tasks rather than building confidence with higher-level skills before major assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Weston tutor noticed a big shift in Sami, a high schooler who previously felt stuck at a C but now independently creates extra maths questions to challenge himself and recently beat his goal with a 71% on his exam.

Another student, Rory, started the term hesitant to draft essays but now writes productively for nearly an hour straight and received positive feedback from his English teacher about a well-prepared presentation.

Meanwhile, Samuel in primary school moved from struggling with perimeter problems to mastering both area and perimeter calculations, finishing all four skill levels with just minimal guidance.

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 St Jude's Primary School.
