The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is equip them with the necessary skills to brave the world. Apart from teaching the concepts and syllabi, it is important that a tutor proves to be a valuable asset that the student can rely on. It is also important to establish a relationship that is different from what the student experiences…

I think that instilling confidence in a student is the most important aspect of tutoring. it is rare that a student actually has no idea what they are doing insteead they usually lack the confidence to answer the question.

I think the fundamental aspect of tutoring is the dedication of time to the student and their understanding. Ensuring that they are comfortable and confident with their learning and being a guide along the way is at the heart of being a good tutor. For me, tutoring is about finding the keys to a few important concepts - about finding how they…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently. One of my favourite quotes is "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

The most important thing I can do for a student is fill in the gaps that the teacher can't. Teachers aren't able to modify the way they teach for every individual student, as a tutor I can do that. I am good at helping people understand concepts that are difficult to understand. I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other people.…

Inside CanberraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Vinusha worked through subtraction with decimals and calculating percentage discounts in price scenarios.

In Year 10, James focused on analysing domains of complex functions and revising his weekly homework problems.

For a Year 11 student, lessons addressed both differentiation techniques and anti-differentiation, including targeted exercises to strengthen calculus foundations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra lessons, a student relied on quick cosmetic corrections—"she over-erased errors instead of addressing the underlying algebra step," as one tutor observed—which meant sign issues lingered beneath tidy working.

A Year 11 student, when tackling polynomials from graphs, struggled to organize his approach; missed connections in written work led to confusion mid-problem.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's messy number writing ("needs more practice with writing 5 and 7") caused him to lose track in multi-step arithmetic.

Without consistent independent practice between sessions, several students arrived unable to ask targeted questions or recall key steps.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Canberra noticed that Landon now distinguishes between algebraic and non-algebraic forms independently, a skill he previously struggled with. He even tackled graphing linear functions without prompts, marking a clear shift toward self-reliance.

In another session, Vinusha solved quadratic equations confidently using the quadratic formula. She explained her steps aloud, demonstrating a new level of understanding and communication.

Meanwhile, Felix completed a full long division problem on his own, specifically 294 divided by 7, and checked his answer without any help—showing significant growth in independence.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Monique is very happy.  In just two lessons, she has found a huge difference.  I commend Katy as Monique finds her very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going.  I am pleased as I too can see the huge difference in Monique's confidence. Thank you for recommending Katy, she is a marvel.

All good so far. Lauren has said that she is coping better in Maths at School so that's a good start.

Everything seems to be going along quite well at the moment, Lawrence is a nice tutor and Arawyn seems to like him.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ainslie School.
