Creating a pleasant environment for a student is, in my opinion, one of a tutor's most crucial roles. This is because it fosters a positive relationship, which makes the student feel comfortable disclosing when and what they are finding difficult. I have good communication skills with kids of all ages, and am patient, and am kind. To make sure…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student, according to me, is to foster an environment of kindness and encouragement.

To help the student form a routine and improve performance in the school. Teaching the skill of learning and eventually working towards independence is very important to me.

One of the most important things a tutor can do is to give a student a sense of confidence in his/her abilities. It is easy for students to get discouraged and give up; a tutor is the person who helps the student keep going.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is acknowledge that all students are different. It's crucial to recognise a student's individual needs and tailor to them. A tutor should adapt to the student's learning style rather than the student adapting to the tutor's teaching style. My biggest strength is my genuine passion and enthusiasm for…

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

By building a portfolio with the student, they are more likely to…

We've only had two sessions with Lachlan so far but he is friendly yet professional and helps Ben understand. Getting started was easy.

Inside CraigieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jasmine worked on rounding to the nearest tens and hundreds as well as reviewing place value concepts.

Year 7 student Ella practiced simplifying fractions and then moved on to basic algebra, focusing on using variables in equations.

For Year 8, Liam completed data analysis tasks, including interpreting graphs and calculating mean, median, and mode using real test results.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's notes showed that messy written work and inconsistent layout made it difficult to track their thinking, especially in division problems—"his working out was hard to follow," a tutor observed, which led to confusion when reviewing errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student tackling trigonometry occasionally skipped writing steps due to worry about making mistakes on the page; this perfectionism meant fewer chances to catch misunderstandings early.

In a Year 4 scenario, forgetting to attempt homework questions before tuition meant time was lost re-explaining familiar material instead of moving ahead with new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Craigie noticed one high school student who previously hesitated to show her working now confidently explains equations out loud and uses diagrams independently, a big shift from waiting for help.

Another secondary student, who struggled with applying BIMDAS rules, has started using factor trees on his own and can now handle mixed-operation problems without reminders.

In a primary session, Alegra—who used to rely heavily on drawing pictures—has begun answering addition questions faster by counting on her fingers instead. Last week, she finished all ten problems without needing to stop and draw once.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Everything is going well with Dexter. Jordana gets on really well with her, and finds Dexter explains things very clearly, and has been a great help already with her understanding of Maths.

Jakob and Cara have a great working relationship and cover alot of content in each session. Cara's confidence and maths skills have grown considerably since commencing tutoring.

Amity is enjoying her tutouring. She is very pleased as she recently received an academic award at school meaning she had received A for all subjects for last term. So we are very happy with Xiaoya.

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