One of the most important things that a tutor can do for their student is to understand where they do and do not lack in understanding. One way to think of it is like a flower. When nurturing it is important to give it the right amount of water, light and nutrients so that it can grow. If any of these needs is lacking or given an excess it can…

The things I considered to be the most important in a tutor is to help their students understand the concepts rather than giving them the answers, in this way when they are sitting the exams they know what they are doing. And be successful in the real world, when there are no tutor for them. It would be the topics that I am not quite expert in,…

Inside DirekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Vikrant worked on basic addition using counting strategies and practiced vowel patterns like -ay, -ap, and -at through word completion exercises.

In Year 8, Amelia focused on calculating the perimeter of irregular shapes and finding the circumference of incomplete circles using diagrams to support understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Suhana strengthened her skills in surface area by working through problems involving cubes, rectangular prisms, and cones, as well as revising area formulas for composite shapes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student hesitated to talk through their reasoning and needed encouragement to explain steps—this made it harder to identify where confusion started during Pythagoras' Theorem and rearranging equations. As a tutor noted, "she tends to say 'I don't know' quickly instead of unpacking her thinking."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with back-checking answers when finding the area of composite shapes, often missing units or misapplying operations unless prompted.

In upper primary (Year 5), another found multiplication drills overwhelming and lost focus during multi-step problems, leading to unfinished work when memory recall faltered.

Recent Achievements

A Direk tutoring session saw one Year 10 student become much more independent with Pythagoras' theorem—he worked through problems without needing help and fixed small errors on his own, a big step from relying on prompts before.

Another high schooler began backchecking her maths work out of habit, catching mistakes herself rather than waiting for the tutor to point them out.

For a younger learner, after struggling with number order past ten, he can now fill in missing numbers up to twenty almost error-free and will even trace new words while saying them aloud—something he'd never tried at the start.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kaitlyn and Jet have had a wonderful start to the term. Judging by the two lessons his had she has managed to make a world of difference already. Kaitlyn has a wonderful personality and has so much patience. I have nothing but praise for her.

Yes I have spoken with Chirag this afternoon. He seems really lovely, confident, competent and friendly and I think someone like this is going to be ideal for our Pops.

Zane is finally grasping concepts that he always found confusing in class. Alan has been very patient with Zane, as there is quite a bit of work to do. Zane would not have received this personal time in class, due to time, disruptions etc.. Thank goodness we are starting now before NAPLAN in 2 weeks and highschool in 2019.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lake Windemere B-6 School.
