The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make a student enjoy the subject that they are teaching. This will give the students a bigger incentive to try and learn the subject for their self, as well as have more fun and eagerness in learning the subject. I try and cater more towards the things that my students are not as good at,…

In my opinion, a tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them. Its important to be constructive and patient especially with the ones that take time to grasp topics. One must keep instructions clear and always strive to empower the child by focusing on their strengths. Engage them instead of lecturing…

A student approaches a tutor outside school just so they can understand the subject in a better way. As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can do for my students is to make them trust in me and eventually the subject because only then they would put in efforts to overcome their difficulties. As a tutor, I am responsible enough to…

It is important that the tutor understands the needs and the gaps that the student has at the beginning of the sessions. An understanding of the needs of the student ensures that key objectives and targets are set with the student to drive ownership. As a tutor, it is also important to constantly assess the impact of my tutoring method in order to…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns. Without this ability to change as necessary you are putting your students at a significant disadvantage. Breaking down complex concepts into simple ideas.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

I believe that a tutor should be able to build relationships with a student where the students are provided with an environment where they are heard and observed.

Local Reviews

Damien was very prompt and professional. He was happy to go the extra mile to meet his student's needs and provide the right tutoring suppory.
Jackie

Inside ClelandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alyssia worked on balancing chemical equations and explored acidity and pH concepts while preparing for her practice exam.

In Year 10, Jack focused on factorising polynomials and graphing the resulting equations to solidify his understanding of algebraic techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan revised logarithms through targeted test questions and reviewed geometry topics to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student's focus and handwriting habits often led to capital letters appearing mid-sentence, making their writing hard to follow; as noted, "sentences need to be conscientious and not rambling."

In Year 8 mathematics, skipping working steps in algebra—despite understanding—meant errors went unnoticed until the end ("he needs to work on focusing more and not rushing questions").

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student relied heavily on previous answer formats when tackling molar ratio problems, instead of independently applying concepts. This habit left her uncertain when faced with unfamiliar variations during revision.

Recent Achievements

One Cleland tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to lose marks from "silly mistakes" in tests now checking his work more carefully and asking for clarification on question wording before answering.

Another high schooler, Alyssia, made a real leap in chemistry—she could complete titration equations independently by the end of her session, whereas she'd previously needed step-by-step help.

In Year 4, Oscar has started using commas correctly in his writing after reminders and can now tackle fraction problems with only minimal prompting.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Crafers Primary School.
