Geography Tutor Phillip, ACT
A tutor influences a student in many ways. He or she contributes a lot to the personality of a student. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to build confidence. And I believe confidence is something that is essential throughout a persons life. It's the confidence that makes one believe that they could do things…

I believe the best tutors are more mentors than teachers. A tutor should make sure every student is comfortable to participate in the learning experience. Students and parents expect a tutor to deliver personalised attention and guidance. A tutor should be able to deliver such service. A good tutor would make learning easier by involving the class…

Inside YarralumlaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Kornel completed lessons on scientific notation and significant figures, as well as constructing and solving simple linear equations using worksheets.

In Year 10, Ruby focused on manipulating and graphing parabolas, followed by work on factorising and expanding quadratics.

For Year 11, Lucas spent recent sessions tackling arithmetic and geometric progressions—using both formulas and step-by-step practice—and then moved into exploring sums of geometric series in preparation for an upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived at lessons without key materials, such as a stock market worksheet needed for reference; as one tutor observed, "he said it was with his mum," making it difficult to build on previous work efficiently.

In Year 10 Maths, homework was often incomplete, leading to lesson time being used for revision of concepts like algebraic manipulation that should have been consolidated independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to attempt unfamiliar questions out of fear of mistakes, sometimes skipping items or waiting for help instead of giving them a go—progress stalled until confidence was rebuilt through guided practice.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Yarralumla noticed a big shift with one Year 9 student who, after previously being hesitant to ask for help, has started openly pointing out confusion during algebra lessons—this change means tricky topics now get sorted much faster.

In a recent high school session, another student surprised himself by constructing equations independently from worded problems, something he'd avoided before because he found it overwhelming.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner used visual techniques to tackle time zones and finished the lesson confidently reading both times aloud.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yarralumla Primary School.
