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…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to allow the student to feel free to ask questions and to query explanations. This way, it allows for me to answer their initial query as well as giving me the opportunity to proactively infer other areas that they may not completely understand. My strengths are centred…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Empathise: A tutor should provide encouragement, build confidence, and create a safe space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Inside DicksonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Owen focused on algebraic techniques and revising for a test on networks and graph theory, working through assigned school problems and discussing weighted graphs.

In Year 9, Isla spent her lesson reviewing probability concepts like conditional probability using classic real-world scenarios, then practiced with venn diagrams and tree diagrams to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

For primary, Year 5 student Rhys drilled surface area and volume formulas for 3D shapes using flashcards, then addressed mistakes from his recent test by practicing fraction operations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, one student repeatedly needed reminders to recall the basics of reactions (e.g., hydrogen and oxygen forming H₂O), revealing weak retention due to not keeping a science notes book.

Another in Year 9 Mathematics depended heavily on solution formulas and struggled when asked to solve x + x = 6 without reference materials—needs to write working out down, as noted.

In Year 8 Probability, forgetting or confusing algebraic rules made rearranging P(A) + P(not A) = 1 difficult, causing uncertainty mid-question.

These habits led to lost confidence and time spent searching for forgotten facts instead of building deeper understanding.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dickson noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle algebraic expressions now working through expanding brackets and factoring with much less prompting, even recalling the process after just one reminder.

In senior chemistry, another high schooler answered questions on chemical bonding independently—last term, he needed step-by-step help for similar problems.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to guess quietly during reading tasks now speaks up confidently to offer answers and has started reading new passages out loud without waiting for encouragement.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Daramalan College.
