I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently.

Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is listen to them. This is the only way to know what they don't understand and where they need help.

Inside AinslieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Rhys worked on mastering surface area and volume of 3D shapes, with targeted revision on fractions using electronic flashcards for quick recall.

For Year 10, Amity tackled key trigonometry concepts and spent time reviewing a recent test that covered measurement, volume, area, and the Pythagoras theorem.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Owen focused on physics assignments about waves and the double slit experiment, as well as formalising his understanding of radians in trigonometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, a student was heavily dependent on having access to notes and solution formulas, leading to difficulty when faced with even simple algebra without prompts.

This over-reliance meant written working was often skipped, making errors harder to spot or fix.

In Year 10 Probability, the same tendency showed: key rules weren't recalled independently, and manipulating equations (like P(A) + P(not A) = 1) stalled due to weak algebraic habits.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 Science, not keeping a dedicated notebook resulted in frequent struggles recalling prior content—leaving basic chemistry reactions feeling vague and unfamiliar during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ainslie noted that a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help is now openly sharing when he's stuck, which meant they could tackle tricky algebra questions together and fix old mistakes on the spot.

In a recent high school chemistry session, one student answered questions about chemical bonds independently after needing guidance in earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student showed new initiative by breaking down multi-step shape problems without prompting—last month she waited for hints before starting. The lesson wrapped up with her adding up areas of irregular shapes all on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Stuart had his first session with Paige yesterday and she felt very comfortable with him. All looks good so far.

Daman was tutoring me in math to help me pass an army test and i ended up passing my test last week. He has helped me improve in math which I've been struggling with when growing up and as I will now be teaching myself improve more and more in math using his method as I believe it really helped me. I wouldn't have passed the test without him so hats off to this bloke.

Jason has been to our home 3 times now and we could not be more pleased. He is a very polite respectful young guy. More importantly Matthew really likes him and says is he is really helping him. Jason said today that he could see improvement. More than happy to continue.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like North Ainslie Primary School.
