I believe that remaining patient, being very attentive, trying your best to understand the student, and modifying teaching approaches is the key to being an effective tutor.

Important things a tutor can do for a student can be as subtle as providing the basic habits of Learning and self progression for the student. Many younger students struggle with this and tutoring can only go so far for them. Enforcing self-learning and the confidence to learn sometimes can be more beneficial than the topics covered. Personal…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide every opportunity for them to kindle their own knowledge. As Socrates said, "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." In other words, it is the tutor's job to introduce new knowledge as the base tools and then question the student to allow them to…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do is be able to listen tot he child and not get frustrated at them if they are unable to grasp the concept.

A tutor must understand the learner is still human, my collaboration skills allow me to see past age or education level. Tutors must see that they have specific ways they can learn best, therefore assessing the child as a human with capabilities comes first. This allows the learner to take in the information in the best way possible. Giving…

Alex is a natural teacher. He has a particular knack of being able to explain things in many different ways until the student gets it! He does this in a kind and caring way, building the students confidence.
Rebecca

Inside Basket RangeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jack focused on fraction addition and subtraction with common denominators, then moved on to simplifying mixed number fractions using short written responses.

In Year 9, Alyssia worked through titration equations in chemistry—calculating molar ratios and manipulating the formula n = m/M and C × V—before revising galvanic cells and redox reactions for her upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan tackled factorisation of polynomials alongside graphing linear equations, using practice problems to reinforce both skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—this made it harder to spot where he went wrong and slowed progress on trickier questions.

A Year 9 student's messy handwriting and unclear layout, especially with fractions, led to confusion when checking answers later.

For a Year 11 Chemistry assignment, over-reliance on looking back at old solutions meant less independent problem-solving; the habit surfaced again during test prep for equations and conversions.

One Year 6 student lost focus during reasoning tasks, missing question cues entirely.

Missed opportunities for clear written reasoning meant strong understanding didn't always show up in assessment marks.

Recent Achievements

One Basket Range tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after repeatedly losing marks to "silly mistakes" in algebra and test settings, began slowing down and double-checking his work, catching errors before submitting practice questions.

A Year 9 student who used to wait passively for hints is now independently asking clarifying questions whenever she's stuck—especially with statistics topics—and even requests extra examples for practice.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, a younger learner started using commas correctly in writing exercises without reminders, having previously needed constant prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

Morgan has responded very well already with Hazel.  She said her explanations of problems has made her maths much more easier. We are very happy with Hazel.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Basket Range Primary School.
