The most important part is understanding how the student thinks and how they view the subject, only then can I adapt my teaching strategy to be effective for them! I am good at breaking down work into small, understandable chunks, and explaining concepts step by step for maximal understanding of a concept rather than rote…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is prepare them for the unexpected. While it's important that the student can understand and solve general problems they may be presented with, the only way to achieve an A grade is to go above and beyond what is expected of them. This can only be achieved if the student is…

While I think it's important to assist students from an academic standpoint, I also think it's important for tutors to help students develop a sense of purpose in their studies. Teaching students to direct their motivations towards their goals, rather than solely their grades, can be just as important for their future as anything a tutor can…

Be patient, sometime students are having a hard time to understand some new confusing concepts in math or physics. It is important to explain the concept to students in a different way. During such a time, finding a new way to explain things in an easier way such students can learn is very important or students might give up on this point. In the…

Provide guidance and encouragement. Also allowing the student to have a go on their own will assist them in thinking for themselves whilst stepping in when needed. Making sure concepts are well understood by the student is of high importance and the tutor should facilitate this understanding. The student should start to feel more confident in…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to make learning engaging and make student love the subject.

By doing so, students are more likely to develop a passion for math and experience the rewarding feeling that…

The most important things a tutor can do could be split into two parts. Academically, tutors are there to help the student to learn all the knowledge required for them to achieve better grades. Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam pressure,…

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics. Also translate the mathematics to a way a student can understand - perhaps look at it more graphically, or by using a real world example - and by breaking down a complex problem into simple, easy to understand parts.

First of all, a tutor needs to build the teacher-student relationship in order to build trust and comfort in the learning space. A tutor should never see a student as weak, but rather, should see a student as progressive. A tutor should encourage and properly guide the student to better comprehend concepts in the subject being taught. A tutor…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to spark their interest and imagination.

Beyond helping them understand content, a great tutor encourages students to think critically, ask questions, and explore ideas independently.…

The first and foremost thing a tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done by…

I think a tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a tutor is my…

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.
Michelle Evans, Colonel Light Gardens

Inside Colonel Light GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ava practised subtraction up to two digits without exchanging and strengthened her recall of number facts to 20 using quick games.

Year 6 student Charlie worked on converting fractions to decimals and compared, ordered, and placed them on number lines for visual understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ella focused on revising the four laws of indices with examples and tackled NAPLAN-style practice questions targeting multiplication strategies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to access homework reliably on OneNote via iPad, leading to incomplete tasks ("accessing homework from OneNote on iPad").

In a Year 8 maths session, overuse of the eraser showed avoidance of visible mistakes: "Does not like to make mistakes—uses eraser although being told that we learn from mistakes."

At the senior level, messy written work in cursive versus print hindered clarity for one student.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's lack of focus after a school event meant times tables recall faltered and revision suffered.

Recent Achievements

One Colonel Light Gardens tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebraic equations—now, she's recalling BEDMAS rules and solving problems with parentheses on her own.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who was previously hesitant about worded maths problems tackled several independently after learning to pick out only the relevant facts from each question.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 started verbalising his thinking when continuing number patterns, something he'd avoided before; by the end of the lesson, he was confidently explaining his reasoning aloud without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

James is great and Orion is already finding such a difference with school. He is really enjoying his time with tutoring and is understanding what he hadn't understood.

l am extremely happy with Tara. She is such a lovely person, so thank-you for sending her to us.

Adib is wonderful. Ethan enjoys the time spent with him and is getting his motivation back, which is great.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Colonel Light Gardens Primary School.
