The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is giving them confidence and equipping them with skills to find solutions on their own. Rather than simply copying a tutor's methods or solutions, it is essential that a student develops the skills to confidently approach new issues they could be faced with. One strength of mine is that I am…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is instil a sense of passion for the subject. The student should feel comfortable going to class and doing the homework afterwards. The tutor should be assisting and looking out for concepts and gaps that the student might have and fill these gaps. On top of this, I want to be able to change a…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through. Often as a tutor you must recognise that students who get tutoring need further help than what is being given and may have academic insecurity, so it is our role to help them improve on this and gain confidence in their learning, with hopes that…

I think the most important thing is creating a space where students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes. A tutor should be encouraging, adaptable, and really listen. It’s not just about teaching, it’s about helping them believe in their own ability to figure things out. I’m patient, a good listener, and I try to explain things in…

Rather than making the subject more troublesome for the student, a tutor must help them realize how easily the same could be studied using small tips and making it more enjoyable. Helping out with their doubts, providing sufficient extra materials, and small tips to remember among others, are important things that a tutor could help with.…

A tutor should be able to make a student understand what they are doing by providing practical examples or situations and going step by step in the process. Making students understand is more important than wanting them to memorise what they have been taught. I am good at explaining, try my best to work at student's phase so they understand well…

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student. All students have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is the responsibility of the tutor to understand their student as an individual in order to tutor in a way that is the most effective for a student to improve. For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment. When I was tutoring one Year 5 boy in Shanghai, I helped the boy to rebuild his confidence clarifying the knowledge structure and outlining every day possible targets with an interactive approach. The boy began to be vigorous in his studies and he scored 93/100 from 70/100 in his final.…

I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

There are a couple of things which I think a tutor can do for their students (1) Understand their way of thinking and interact in a way which is more familiar to them. A tutor must have different ways to put across the same concept to different students. A single way may not fit everyone. (2) A tutor must be available for the students at any…

Inside ActonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Zoe focused on converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages using diagrams for visual support, and practised adding and subtracting decimals.

In Year 8, Sam tackled simplifying fractions as well as identifying equivalent fractions through targeted exercises.

For Year 10, Emily completed a topic test covering algebraic equations—particularly those involving multiplication and division—and then reviewed how to solve linear equations step by step.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with exam planning, as he needed to write a bit quicker in order to make sure he can complete the exam—and also properly pace himself during the exam and not spend too long on a confusing question.

In Year 8 English, skipping over assignment instructions meant one student missed key requirements and jumped ahead, leading to confusion about what was actually expected.

For a Year 6 maths learner, foundational times tables knowledge remained shaky; this slowed her down even on simple problems.

After missing class content, a senior student felt lost in algebra until revisiting basics restored some confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Acton tutor noticed a Year 10 student now regularly back-checks her maths, which has led to fewer careless mistakes—a big shift from earlier sessions when she'd rush through problems.

A high school English student recently began giving creative writing questions a proper go rather than hesitating; he's started catching repetitive sentence starters on his own after targeted feedback.

Meanwhile, a younger student who was initially quiet now tells the tutor exactly what's confusing during lessons and asks for help right away instead of guessing.

In one session, she tackled tricky decimal operations after just a brief explanation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We really cannot speak highly enough of Conaire. He is communicative, polite, always on time, and most importantly, highly competent with maths. From their first meeting, Tim has enjoyed and benefited greatly from his tutoring and encouragement. On a scale of 1 to 10, Conaire rates a 10+ (with no exaggeration at all).

Will has been the best match for my son Patrick to date. He really enjoys working with Will.

Very happy - Su is a very good tutor and we're very happy with the tutoring thus far.

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.
