The most important thing a tutor can do is teach, not complete. A tutor's main goal is to be able to teach students to operate individually, not do all their work for them. It is also very important for tutors to be understanding, so that they can preform most efficiently. I believe that i am very patient, as I like tutoring and so have no problem…

It is the tutors responsibility to do the best they can in order to help the student reach their potential. A tutor should sometimes take a step further to care for the student and a lot of the times the student will reciprocate your effort to create a…

One must be patient enough to guide the students in learning and to help them overcome their fear and apathy of the subject. My greatest strength…

An open environment, a student should not feel embaressed when asking questions or having a problem with their school work.

Definitely being open to questions and helping them work through any issues and problems that they have.

I think that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to truly understand them and their learning ways. For example, I am a visual learner and so I learn better using diagrams, colours and videos. But not everyone is a visual learner and so they might need other aids to help them learn concepts such as songs or textbooks. I…

Inside Acacia GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Chloe reviewed financial maths concepts like interest, holiday loading, and commission using real-world exam questions, and also practiced interpreting scatter plots.

In Year 8, Emily focused on adding and subtracting like terms in algebra and used tables of values to draw linear graphs by hand.

For a Year 10 student, Ayaan completed class worksheets involving bi-variate data analysis and applied the Pythagoras theorem to solve geometry problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student working on trigonometry and surface area struggled to identify which formulas applied to composite shapes. As one tutor noted, "he kept switching between volume and area without checking units," which led to confusion during multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, in Year 6 English, messy written work made it difficult for the student to review grammar corrections; answers were hard to find among crossings-out and over-erased lines.

For a Year 11 student tackling algebraic equations, over-reliance on notes was evident—when asked to solve without prompts, progress stalled and confidence dipped mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Acacia Gardens tutor saw a big shift in a Year 11 student's maths sessions: after weeks struggling with scatter plots, Harry not only drew them accurately by lesson's end but later shared he'd scored highly on his topic test.

In Year 8, Emily went from needing reminders about algebra basics to quickly factorising equations and independently explaining her steps—she even requested harder problems.

For a Year 5 student who used to stay quiet when stuck, the most recent session showed real change: instead of guessing, he started asking clarifying questions before tackling tricky division problems on his own.

Local Spots for Tutoring
