A tutor should use as simple language as possible because using fancy language can make them loose interest as they won't know the words. A tutor should involve the students into the discussion so that they don't sleep off during the session. I have a good command over English Language which helps me connect with people so that I can go to the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to show enthusiasm to his/her work. Simply attempting to teach students with as little effort as possible is wrong. How can you expect students to show committment to their studies if the tutor cannot show committment to them? I firmly believe that showing a real desire to teach results in a real desire…

A tutor should always be there for the student when it comes to any problems, because the students will always look up to their tutor for advice about studies and other stuff and the tutor should be able to really connect with their student and help them.

The most basic and important thing to do is definately the pass on of knowledge. As that is the main goal of the tuition. However, it will be very satisfying if I can sucessfully spark interest of the student in the subject, which I did to a few of my past students, that is a very rewarding moment for me. I am fluent in multiple languages, grown…

The greatest benefit of a tutor is without a doubt, the surgical clarity they can offer a student. In school students are taught in broad strokes by teachers that often don't have the time or the resources to focus on each individual student's needs and struggles. As a tutor, you can identify and address the specific anxieties and weaknesses of a…

Inside DocklandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Hamish focused on place value and identifying prime numbers, using practice exam questions for consolidation.

Year 10 student Olivia worked through solving systems of linear equations by elimination and explored the distance formula between two points with visual explanations.

In Year 11, Ethan tackled function modelling with real-world examples (such as insect population growth) and analysed rectangular hyperbolas, including their transformations and asymptotes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student's algebra work showed gaps due to incomplete homework and minimal revision of textbook questions—"she tended to skip the assigned practice," a tutor noted, which left some equation-solving steps unpracticed.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student felt overwhelmed by dense chemistry chapters and sometimes postponed review tasks; this led to confusion during multi-step equilibrium problems, especially when tired after tests.

In Year 4 maths, inconsistent working in times tables caused errors like "3 x 4 = 11."

A Year 12 student avoided asking for feedback on graphing questions, so misconceptions lingered into the next session.

Recent Achievements

One Docklands tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Maya, started their sessions feeling nervous about upcoming biology tests but now prompts herself to review marked work and pushes through practice questions independently—something she used to avoid.

In Year 10 maths, Hamish recently stopped skipping key steps when solving linear equations and inequalities; he now writes out double negatives rather than rushing, which helps him catch mistakes that previously cost marks.

Meanwhile, in primary years, Lola has become noticeably quicker at linking old and new maths topics on her own and has started presenting her solutions with clarity during lessons.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tutoring is going very well she's starting to show some progress now which is good and Deanna works her hard which is great.

Since Ben has had Jacques tutoring, he has achieved an A++ (15/15) for his maths assignment!!!

Zach and Chaitanya are doing really well. Zach is really happy, not only with the way he's learning, but also because Chaitanya takes an interest in him as well.

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 Library at the Dock—or at your child's school (with permission), like Haileybury College - City Boys.
