Psychology Tutor Whitlam, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
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…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Wanniassa, ACT
Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

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.
