Being supportive and empathetic - it is important to understand that different people struggle with different things no matter the levels and by complimenting improvements, it can boost someones's confidence in areas they may find difficult. I am a great listener and communicator and can easily recognise when someone either understands or is…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to understand and adjust to their learning style, provide clear explanations, encourage active participation, build confidence, assess progress and provide feedback, create a supportive environment, address questions and concerns, and provide additional resources. By doing these things, a…

Help them understanding problem, analyzing problem, and solving problem. On a larger scale, I really wanted to change students' from hating math or physics subjects to loving them I'm an organized tutor as I like to prepare a rundown before the tutoring session. I'm also an interactive tutor which I always ask and ask students if they understand…

More important than the content is the environment a tutor can create. By reciting the book's content, I might be able to help the student pass their grade. However, by making the student get good at learning and understanding abstract concepts, one makes them capable of tackling any subject. This is the most importat thing a tutor can do for a…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to create a comfortable environment where they feel safe asking any question, no matter how small, and to make learning an enjoyable experience. It’s also essential to build their confidence by helping them understand their strengths and develop the skills they need to succeed.…

Keep track of the student's process and adjust accordingly, everyone learns at a different pace and it's important to treat them individually, especially as a tutor. I'm currently studying software engineering at University of Melbourne and on track for a Math Diploma with 3 years of experience in tutoring. I am able to form good logic, and cable…

We are very impressed by Rish already. Her communication and thoroughness with the first session has been terrific. My son was beaming afterwards from the renewed sense of confidence Rish helped him discover. We're looking forward to the positive outcomes her tutoring will eventuate in.

Inside CoombsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sami focused on factorising by grouping and calculating the volume of prisms and cylinders, practicing with step-by-step examples.

In Year 10, Maddy worked through solving linear equations and reviewed applications of trigonometric ratios using diagrams to reinforce understanding.

For Year 11 Specialist Maths, Alex explored vectors—covering vector addition, scalar multiplication, and components—as well as permutations and combinations through practical problem sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student relied on their calculator for basic operations—"requires calculator for simple multiplying (x 3 etc.), and squared numbers"—which slowed problem-solving during more complex test questions.

For a Year 11 Modern History task, late work was flagged: the report draft and bibliography were not submitted before the deadline, leading to last-minute stress.

Another senior student struggled with organization in English, often forgetting to bring required materials or copies of recent tests to sessions.

When composing an oral presentation in Year 10, perfectionism delayed drafting, as "notes weren't transformed into a speech" until just before practice was due.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Coombs noticed Sami, a high school student, took the initiative to create his own maths questions after struggling with parabolas, which helped him improve from a C to a 71% on his recent exam—well above his target.

Rory, also in high school, showed real perseverance by writing continuously for almost an hour during an English session and later received positive feedback from his teacher for thoroughly covering assessment requirements.

In Year 6, Bea went from hesitating over difficult maths problems to finishing three complex exercises independently and proudly shared, "I'm proud of myself."

What they say about our tutoring

quote

In response to your earlier email, I am absolutely delighted with Nick.  Tabi trusts that Nick can help her and is beginning to deal with the sense of panic she builds up when confronted with problems she is not sure how to solve or techniques taught in class that she did not understand.  I can see Tabi beginning to feel more confident and she certainly feels supported by Nick.

Pat has really appreciated and enjoyed the help Josh has given him with his Maths. Tutoring with Josh during the holidays will make an excellent start to year 11!

Thank you for touching base. I am really impressed with William's efforts to date. He has very quickly worked out Layla's weaknesses and the areas that need attention. I also believe that his strategy of working slightly ahead of schedule and thus getting her 'in front' in some areas will help with her confidence in class. Layla is also receiving additional Maths support in school and combined with William's efforts, I am confident that we should see her Maths results improve.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charles Weston School.
