Personally, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them a certain concept but rather equip them with the tools to be able to learn the concept and future concepts themselves. Whether that may be going through study strategies or instilling motivation, the main crux of the job should be so that the student can…

I believe that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student, is to help them build confidence in their own academic abilities by supporting them in a way that reinforces their sense of self achievement. It is also important for a tutor to reinforce and support the student's classroom learning, beyond set homework and assignments…

Always be available to listen to any questions/problems that the student may have. As well as always making sure they completely understand something before they move on. Also, making the student trust you so they feel they can talk to you about any question no matter how stupid they think it is. I feel I can 'dumb' things down well, if someone is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon-feed the student.

As a tutor, you are there to ensure you equip the student with the right tools and show them how to use those tools. I believe my…

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…

Inside DarchTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ethan worked through revision on numbers and measurements, using hands-on examples to solidify concepts.

For Year 8, Priya focused on ratios and their practical applications, then explored strategies for effective note-taking.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam tackled linear relationships by interpreting graphs and practiced expanding and factorising algebraic expressions to build confidence with more complex equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 algebra, one student shut down a little and started getting questions she was getting right wrong when asked to rearrange equations, especially if she had to combine steps or recall multiple methods.

A Year 9 student often struggled with worded problems—she could solve equations but hesitated when formulas needed applying in unfamiliar contexts ("struggled to apply the formulas to questions").

In senior years, another learner needed prompts for the first steps of polynomial questions; without these, progress stalled.

The confusion in interpreting question wording left students uncertain about which strategies or rules fit, sometimes erasing earlier gains in confidence.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Darch noticed a Year 11 student who used to freeze after mistakes now keeps working through questions, even when she gets stuck, and asks for specific explanations instead of giving up.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, the tutor saw her apply algebra skills independently—she expanded brackets and solved for x on her own after struggling to connect the steps before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously mixed up fractions can now represent mixed numbers visually and explain how division relates to fractions without prompting from the tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Anh and her tutoring of Lana.  We are taking a break over the school holidays and public holiday but will be back into it in a couple of weeks. Anh was very generous with her time leading up to Lana's last exam and although not anticipated given the short lead up time, her results improved. It's been a great decision for us to set the foundations for Lana with senior maths.

Afra has met with Jasmine once so far as we have had the holidays. I think it went really well and Jasmine is actually looking froward to her next lesson this Saturday.

Lazarus is very happy with Joseph. I think Joseph will be a good fit for Lazarus' learning needs.

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 Girrawheen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ashdale Secondary College.
