The most important things a tutor can do to a student is to make the student not to need a tutor any more (Be able to work alone without assistance from the tutor). My strengths as a tutor include: 1. My ability to make young students independent of myself. 2. My ability to raise the interest of the learner in the subjects of…

From my experience, the most important thing/skill as a tutor is to understand what students are not understanding. I believe that the most effective way to increase academic score/grade is to find the weakness/ topics that we do not quite get. Tutors should find those in students quickly and resolve it by teaching effectively. One of the biggest…

I think that as a tutor, being able to understand the perspective of the student is crucial in educating them. Tutoring is a student-centred occupation and one should be able to assess students' knowledge in real time in order to develop effective teaching solutions. Another important tutoring technique is to be prepared for sessions. Whether it…

It is always for me to put their thoughts first and give them the importance. It is simply how a student learn and grow. A little bit of channeling of concepts, guidance and being there as a support is what makes it work. It is all about concepts how well you know them and how easy you can make them for students to understand. I always try to…

So far I have found several factors that make for good tutors. Firstly building a strong and personal relationship with the student is very important as the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor can add essential ingredients for students to learn and grow. Secondly, communication and collaboration with the student,…

I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic.

Inside Cannon HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Rebecca focused on applications of derivatives in calculus and worked through long division of polynomials; she also reviewed exam questions related to these topics.

Year 10 sessions with Lincoln involved factorising quadratic expressions using HCF and the difference of squares, along with practice solving simultaneous equations from word problems.

Meanwhile, Year 7 Josh practised constructing frequency distribution tables for data sets and represented information visually using histograms and polygons.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Maths Methods student recently transitioned from General Maths and struggled to recall key rules for critical paths and exact form answers, as noted: "remembering the equation for critical paths." This meant extra time spent hunting through notes during problem-solving, rather than building fluency.

In Year 10, another student hesitated to attempt long division of polynomials independently—when faced with similar questions in revision, she waited for guidance instead of practicing on her own.

For a Year 7 class assignment, difficulty converting units was linked to skipping written steps; "she tried to do it all in her head," which led to confusion mid-question.

Recent Achievements

One Cannon Hill tutor noticed Rebecca, a Year 11 student, has started to openly ask for clarification on difficult classwork—something she was hesitant to do before—which is helping her tackle complex trigonometry problems more independently.

Dyllan, in Year 10, recently managed to solve polynomial long division questions with only minimal prompting after initially needing step-by-step guidance; he even began checking his own answers by expanding brackets.

Meanwhile, Kate (Year 7) completed an online formative quiz and scored 21 out of 21 after working through each question's reasoning together, finishing the session feeling accomplished and ready for her upcoming exam.

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 Carina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Oliver Plunkett School.
