A tutor can instil the love of learning and academic achievement to a student. This is the MOST important things a tutor can do for a student as it will equip them for the 'real' world ahead where their capacity to think will be tested outside the academic environment. My strengths as a tutor are; My Professionalism, resourcefulness,…

A great tutor does not only stay with students during lessons time but also being able to stay with them on their journey to achieve their goals.

I tend to personalise…

Improve a Student's Study Skills A good tutor would help a student by forming him in such a way that he will no longer require help. He will then instill those executive study skills that will serve him well in academics and in life.

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through.

The biggest part of tutoring is adjusting to the various communication styles of each student, when students rely on visuals to understand a topic, the tutor needs to present graphs or sketches to exemplify formulas in a more visual manner when students prefer to learn using examples the topic needs to be translated into more tangible manners.…

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…

Inside BelconnenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aiden worked on finding the highest common factor and lowest common multiple using practical number examples.

In Year 9, Olivia focused on algebraic equations and was introduced to plotting points on the Cartesian plane through graphing activities.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ethan practiced applying the chain rule for differentiation and tackled integration questions from recent exam papers.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion was inconsistent across several year levels. For example, in Year 9 Mathematics, one student left Chapter 9 homework unfinished and struggled to organize their notes ("need to get more organised then will be able to succeed").

In senior years, incomplete past exam questions slowed progress before assessments.

A Year 11 student's working was hard to follow—notes lacked clear steps in integration practice, leading to confusion when reviewing mistakes.

In Year 8 algebra tasks, skipping problem highlights made it difficult to spot key information. This led to extra time spent re-reading rather than solving problems directly during lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Belconnen tutor noticed Charlotte, a senior student, confidently applying the chain rule in calculus after previously hesitating to tackle these problems without step-by-step guidance.

In Year 7, Molly now completes her maths homework independently during sessions and has started identifying factors of numbers on her own—just weeks ago she needed prompting for every step.

Felix, another high schooler, recently solved probability questions using tree diagrams and could explain his reasoning clearly instead of just guessing at answers. He finished by setting up and solving equations without extra hints.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Venessa was great and we will be asking her to come back again in the new year.

Our daughter seems to respond well to Adam and even though it's still early days she is much more confident! Thanks

The tutoring sessions with Dominic are going very well. He has certainly helped Kailiana to gain confidence and skills in maths, while keeping a calm, friendly, and easy-going mood for the tutoring sessions. As any 8 year old does, Kailiana can get distracted from time to time, but Dominic has always taken this in stride, and been very creative in engaging with Kailiana in order to retain her attention. For example, there was one instance where she jumped up out of nowhere and decided to feed her goldfish in the middle of them trying to solve some questions about volume. Once she got back to the table Dominic asked her about her fish, and then changed the objects in the question they were solving to fish. He effectively got her back on track and engaged her attention in a warm and gentle way. Kailiana looks forward to her tutoring sessions, with is another testament to the good work Dominic has been doing with her.

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 University of Canberra Senior Secondary College Lake Ginninderra.
