Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish. " It suggests that the tutor has a responsibility to inspire her students to take further exploration in the subject and cultivate good learning habits. Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a tutor, I would let my student know that they…

In my view, teacher is the most important person for a student after their parents. School level students spend more time with their teachers than with their parents.

One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can bring to a student is a different perspective on the subject matter they are studying.

By providing a different voice…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner.

Inside CookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Olivia worked on mastering the 4 and 5 times tables, using card games to make practice engaging.

Year 9 student Ethan focused on solving simultaneous equations and explored break-even analysis with real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie revised the laws of indices and practiced converting between surds and rationalized denominators for greater fluency in algebraic manipulation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, a student often relied on visual flashcards for multiplication facts, recalling answers quickly with these aids but hesitating during oral drills—"she performs very well, almost instantly, when we use them, whereas…purely oral exercises…it is a bit harder." This reliance slowed her independent recall in times tables.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student left multiple chapters of homework incomplete (e.g., "Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions") and struggled to stay organized with revision materials.

For a senior Methods student, incomplete note-taking across chapters led to difficulty revisiting key differentiation techniques before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Cook tutor recently noticed a Year 6 student, Evie, moving from relying on her fingers for basic math to confidently using flashcards and answering all the 6 times table questions without hesitation—a big shift from earlier sessions when number patterns were confusing.

In high school maths, one Year 9 student who previously needed help with indices now independently answered every question on index laws correctly during their last session.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who tended to rush through problems started double-checking their answers before moving on, catching two small errors themselves in their latest session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kicking myself for not starting tutor earlier! It would have helped tremendously with Jayden's studies and being able to work independently!

We had the first session with Nick today and he was fantastic! He focused on the right areas and really engaged with Yvette....I think we are on the right track.

Tabinder has made Leon come a long way in the last 2 weeks and he is quite proud of his achievements.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's Primary School.
