Science Tutor Bonnet Hill, TAS
Instilling students with a positive mindset towards and passion for learning is critical to ensure they are engaged and willing to learn. I always encourage students and build their confidence, because a strong and flexible mindset is so important and can be carried throughout the pupil's education. During lessons, I am actively paying attention…

Science Tutor Sandy Bay, TAS
A tutor needs to help the students understand the concepts and the "why" behind the problem. This allows them to be able to solve problems on their own and increase their confidence. Creating a judgment-free and supportive environment, where students can ask questions and mistakes are not punished, is essential for a tutor to help a student…

Science Tutor Hobart, TAS
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to create a safe and encouraging learning environment, build the student’s confidence, and help them develop independent learning skills. Beyond explaining content, a tutor should listen carefully, be patient, and adapt their teaching to the student’s needs. By doing so, a…

Ensure they meet there every need and ensure a student is enjoying their learning, because if there not enjoying they won’t do well. Being polite and patient with students is crucial as it may take a while for them to understand but encouraging them and having their back will bring out their confidence and it will show in their results aswell.…

tutor must give 100% knowledge on the subjects tutor must clear their doubts immediately and they should be available for students for clearing doubts. tutors must work harder with students to improve their marks and teach them clearly. Listening to the needs of the child will also help you to better understand the student’s situation so that…

Science Tutor Lenah Valley, TAS
I think the most important things a tutor can do is listen attentively, and bring excitement into each session. Tutoring is more listening to the areas in which the student is confused rather than trying to explain everything. It is also essential to have enthusiasm about topics, because if you aren’t interested in a subject then the student who…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subject matter they are teaching enjoyable to learn. This is important because learning should be something we actively engage in and if a tutor can make it so the students seek out learning more readily then they have already succeeded in some sense. As a tutor my strengths are…

Inside Battery PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cameron practised identifying adverbs and improving simple sentence structure, then wrote a short creative piece incorporating newly learned adverbs.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee revised mole-mass and mass-mole conversions in stoichiometry using teacher-set problems, and tackled balancing equations through step-by-step examples.

Year 12 Biology student Charli focused on the adaptive immune system by answering targeted questions to consolidate her understanding, and reviewed CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology principles from a previous topic.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes rushed through multi-step calculations without carefully labelling units or fully writing out working; as a tutor noted, "I advised her to spell out her workings so she can avoid mistakes." This led to repeated errors that could have been avoided with clearer written processes.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 English, Scarlett tended to answer comprehension questions too quickly, occasionally missing key words and altering the intended meaning.

Her creative writing also showed hesitation—she often stalled before starting drafts due to self-doubt, delaying progress on assignments like her biography of Marcia P. Johnson.

Recent Achievements

One Battery Point tutor noticed a significant shift in Aimee's approach to senior Chemistry: she now openly asks for clarification whenever she hits a roadblock, rather than quietly pushing through—last week, she patiently worked through complex chromatography principles and double-checked her logic before moving on.

Charli, also in high school, has started identifying her own weaker areas at the start of sessions so they can be tackled head-on; this new habit led to marked improvement when concepts were put into meaningful contexts.

In Year 7 English, Scarlett independently completed the research phase for her biography project and brought insightful facts forward without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Karly is enjoying the tutoring (as much as kids do!) Pablo is great & always contactable. He keeps in touch & plans for Karly. He is always flexible.

Charlotte is progressing nicely and she works well and is comfortable with Frank.

he tutoring is definitely going well. Minyu is getting a lot out of Nima's tutoring. She has now decided that she likes Maths and has been getting some good results. We are happy.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Albuera Street Primary School.
