The tutor can change the life of a student. A tutor is like a mentor for any student. Teacher teach concepts but the tutor makes sure that the student understands how to apply that concept. I had a great tutor during my primary school who helped me to understand what is the purpose of my life and what is the goal of my life. I want to set a great…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

The most important things for a tutor to do for a student is ensure their confidence stems from understanding not just knowing the answer to a question but instead the theory behind it.

I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment.

Local Reviews

We recently started tuition with Edison, and I couldn't be happier with how things are going. Edison has been making a big difference, not just in terms of Math skills, but in my son's motivation and confidence. They've built a great rapport and Edison has been showing his solid background in the subject, but more importantly, he is demonstrating a natural ability to make learning feel approachable and enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who not only knows Maths but also knows how to connect with a student, Edison is an absolute gem. We're very happy we found him!

Inside WrightTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Sam focused on revising long division and practising the addition and subtraction of fractions, also touching on converting decimals to percentages using number line activities.

Year 10 Vamsi worked through probability concepts such as sample space and independence, then applied skills in interpreting exam results and tackling binomial distribution problems with guided exercises.

For Year 11 Alan, lessons concentrated on mastering calculus topics including the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule for derivatives, and applying these to find stationary points using past exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

When facing lengthy calculus problems, a Year 11 student often skipped steps and panicked over multiple formulas—"he jumped ahead or missed symbols in derivatives," a tutor observed.

In exams, another senior student left questions blank and struggled to manage time effectively, losing marks not for lack of knowledge but from incomplete answers.

A Year 7 learner sometimes misread instructions in algebra or didn't fully answer long division questions.

For one Year 4 writer, spelling errors persisted despite good ideas; the challenge lay in not checking work thoroughly before moving on. This led to frustration when reviewing results.

Recent Achievements

A Wright tutor noticed one high school student who used to skip over tough calculus questions is now listing all relevant formulas and breaking down each step before answering—he even spotted his own mistakes from a recent exam, which he hadn't done previously.

Another Year 10 student, after struggling with polyatomic ions in chemistry, now quickly identifies their charges and completes equation balancing tasks at a faster pace than before.

Meanwhile, in primary years, Sam has moved from confusion about long division to scoring 97% on multiplication quizzes and independently working through BODMAS calculations 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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charles Weston School.
