I think the most important thing a tutor can do is motivate the student and allow them to see that their goals are achievable and help them achieve them. I personally was not a very bright student in year 9/10 and I was bottom of my cohort and almost did not get to do chemistry and physics however through perseverance and hard work, I improved…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student’s confidence, create a supportive learning environment, and teach them how to learn independently. It’s not just about solving problems for them, it’s about giving them the tools and strategies to tackle challenges on their own. A tutor should motivate students,…

Tutors adapt their teaching methods to cater to individual learning needs, set achievable goals, and foster problem-solving skills.

Active listening. Being an older sister, I have realised the best way for them to learn is when they solve problems independently. As a tutor, my job is to guide them and by actively listening it will allow them to gain more clarity as they talk about the issue but, also gives me an insight on how I can guide them in the most effective manner.

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities. Without confidence, a student will continue to doubt themselves and struggle whether you are guiding them in their learning or not. I am compassionate, good at explaining things in multiple ways, and creative. I believe that to be a tutor you have to be creative, as the…

I believe that a tutor should make a student feel safe enough that they ask as many questions as they need to ask in order to fully understand a topic. A tutor should encourage the student to believe in their own abilities and develop the student's confidence to allow them to eventually approach and solve problems on their own. I believe this type…

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

Georgia is happy with Kelvin. She is very shy and so it is great that she feels comfortable with him.

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.

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.
