Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

The most important thing a tutor can do is create an environment in which the student feels comfortable asking questions and encouraging them to work hard and commit to learning. Big class settings can often see some students fall away in the mass, which means the one on one tutoring gives them the opportunity to be the sole focus, and ask the…

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. While teachers and textbooks can be great resources, they often present the material in a standardized and one-size-fits-all way that may not resonate with every student. 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. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

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…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it.

Inside DeakinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, as well as applying scientific notation and significant figures in worksheet problems.

In Year 10, Mia focused on factorising and expanding quadratic expressions and practiced graphing parabolas to understand their features visually.

For a Year 12 session, Lucas revised implicit differentiation techniques alongside kinematics applications, and continued preparation for his upcoming mathematics exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived at lessons without completed homework or the necessary worksheets, leading to time spent revisiting last week's concepts instead of progressing—one tutor noted, "I asked him to bring out the stock market sheet and he said it was with his mum."

In Year 10, a pattern emerged where note-taking during sessions was so slow that only half the planned content could be covered.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student struggled with organizing revision materials, which meant previous errors on latent heat questions went unaddressed.

These process gaps led to lesson time being diverted from new learning to repeated reviews and searching for misplaced resources.

Recent Achievements

A Deakin tutor noticed one high school student who, after previously relying on hints for equation rearrangement, now independently checks her work and corrects small errors without prompting.

Another win came from a Year 10 student who used to guess through surface area problems but recently broke down composite shapes into simpler parts with much more confidence and accuracy.

In a younger session, a primary-aged learner shifted from quietly working alone to asking the tutor for help when stuck—something he'd hesitated to do in earlier lessons—then read out his solution step-by-step.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Canberra Girls Grammar School - Junior School.
