A tutor can make a student love the subject he/she hates. The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, his/her interests, aptitude, and what he/she is inclined towards. If you have a basic idea of the student mindset you can develop techniques to make them understand the subject in a way they don't find it hard. Gamification…

I think the most significant aspect of tutoring is creating a safe space for students to be able to not only learn and understand difficult concepts, but develop critical thinking skills and traits that allow them to progress further than just the subject they are being tutored for. I am very understanding and patient. As a child who came to…

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. Positive feedback is also essential in tutoring. If the student feels like they aren't making any progress and that they will never understand the problem, then they may give up all…

Geovanny is so on pointe. He has quickly developed a positive relationship with Sam. Sam's attitude towards Maths has already turned around. We are very happy.

Inside ArandaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Grace worked on understanding fractions, including converting between improper and mixed numbers and practicing operations like addition and subtraction.

In Year 10, Sam revised laws of indices and completed questions involving surds and rationalising denominators, often using step-by-step examples to build confidence.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex tackled applications of differentiation—covering tangent lines and rates of change—and practiced past VCE exam questions to strengthen his grasp of calculus concepts.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion and organization stood out across several year levels.

For example, a Year 10 student had multiple outstanding chapter tasks ("Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions"), leading to gaps in revision before tests.

In VCE Methods, homework from past exam papers was frequently left unfinished—one tutor noted, "Needs to complete the 2009 Paper for Homework"—which limited exposure to real exam conditions.

In Year 7 algebra lessons, missing notes on chapter subsections made it harder to review two-step equations later.

The impact: practice time went into catching up rather than tackling new or challenging material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Aranda noticed one Year 10 student who previously hesitated to use a calculator now choosing it confidently during problem-solving, making fewer mistakes with each session.

A Year 12 student, after weeks of struggling with index laws and surds, recently answered nearly all exam-style questions independently—something she hadn't managed before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to guess quietly when unsure has started asking clarifying questions out loud before attempting new maths problems, showing more active engagement. In their last lesson, she finished all assigned questions without prompts.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Lille has taken well to tutoring so far and Jackie is a great match for Lille so we are happy.

So far all is good. Lili and Jasmine get along lovely and she is teaching Jasmine some math tricks which is great. Jasmine is more keen to practice her maths also.

Aliesha and Winnie are working very well together. I have already seen the results. Aliesha's first assessment task in Year 10 general maths, she scored 37% but in her latest assessment task she achieved 92%, which is an amazing result. Aliesha has regained her confidence which is reflected in her school, work and at home. She is so much happier. Thank you for all your helpful advice during my initial enquiries and a big thank you to Winnie.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's Primary School.
