The most important gift that a tutor can give to a student is providing knowledge of how to think independently. A tutor can give hope, help develop self-confidence within students as well as show them the right way to proceed in life.

Build their confidence. Every student is different. One cannot treat them on the same plain. Some are aware of their shortcomings and are just confused. Some are hardworking while others can be smart-workers or differently remarked. A tutor must recognise that talent in them and help them use it in growing. Explaining instances metaphorically…

Being an inspirational character. A tutor has to encourage his/her students always. During a semester/course, there will be certain times when students will lose interests for a poor mark (may be), or a personal problem. A tutor can't force a student to complete a session because it has to! A friendly approach can be helpful sometimes as well.…

Inside Briar HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sadé worked on long multiplication with 2-3 digit numbers and tackled multi-step word problems involving addition and subtraction.

Year 6 student Indie focused on mastering the 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 times tables before applying this knowledge to solve long multiplication questions with larger numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Jamie spent the lesson revising decimal operations—adding and subtracting decimals using vertical algorithms—and began practising these skills through worded problem scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 5 student repeatedly forgot to carry numbers during long multiplication, as noted: "she would occasionally forget to add the carried numbers or misalign the columns in her working out."

In Year 7 maths, one learner needed frequent reminders about area formulas and sometimes mixed them up, leading to extra time spent correcting answers instead of building fluency.

For a Year 8 student, challenges with interpreting worded problems meant they often needed guidance before attempting solutions.

When presented with mixed-order times tables in Year 6, another struggled to recall facts quickly, slowing progress on division tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Briar Hill tutoring session saw a high school student, Sadé, who used to hesitate with long division now tackle harder questions confidently and even worked efficiently with divisors like 12 and 20.

Another win came from Indie in Year 6: she had previously struggled to apply short division independently but recently solved multi-digit problems by herself, showing much more self-assurance.

In Year 4 English, John—who once guessed at unfamiliar words—has started sounding them out methodically when reading aloud, making it through passages that were stumbling blocks before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Great Tutoring and marks are an improvement. Thank you for your persistence and patience!

The tutoring is going quite well. We were really impressed with his proactive approach in asking for her naplan results and course outline from her teacher so he work in line with what she will be learning in class.

I would like to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to tutor this year. I have mentored a bunch of wonderful kids who have all made great improvements with their grades and work ethic. In addition, I have seen them become more and more confident with each lesson which has been incredibly rewarding.

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 Diamond Valley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Briar Hill Primary School.
