Geography Tutor Mawson, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

Erin Maria

Geography Tutor Chifley, ACT
A tutor influences a student in many ways. He or she contributes a lot to the personality of a student. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to build confidence. And I believe confidence is something that is essential throughout a persons life. It's the confidence that makes one believe that they could do things…

Inside ChisholmTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Talia focused on mastering simultaneous equations through substitution and spent time factorising and expanding binomials for algebraic fluency.

For Year 10, Lucas worked on solving quadratic equations using both the quadratic formula and by factorising with the null law, also applying these methods to sketch related graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James reviewed index laws for multiplication and division as well as scientific notation—practicing conversions and calculations with large and small numbers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student had not completed any extra revision before a recent exam, showing that building independent study habits remains an issue.

In another senior case, the lack of advance planning for sessions—such as not identifying which maths topic to focus on—meant lesson time was used less efficiently; "we still need to get better at lesson preparation and planning."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student consistently submitted homework with significant errors but performed well when tasks were done together, indicating difficulty in transferring learning independently. This gap led to confusion during assessments and missed opportunities for targeted feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Chisholm tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for clarification now confidently stopped the lesson to say when something didn't make sense, making sure she fully understood simultaneous equations before moving on.

In a recent session with a senior high schooler, writing down each step of exam problems onto cards made it easier for him to remember processes—he started using these notes independently while practicing.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once relied heavily on finger counting managed several complicated addition problems in her head and even fixed her own mistakes without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Rowena is lovely and Sam feels comfortable with her which is great as he is quite shy.

All is going really well with tutor Sam , he is excellent and very good with my son Dominic.

We believe if it wasn't for Stuart; Paige would not have achieved her most recent result.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Caroline Chisholm School.
