A tutor most importantly needs to understand the areas that the students need improvement. Considering their ability to grasp new concepts and learning styles, a tutor will have to design their teaching methods to suit a particular student.

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

Local Reviews

Since Diali has started working with Brendan I have seen her motivation to engage in maths skyrocket. Prior, it took a great deal of coaxing to get her to do her homework, let alone to do anything extra relating to maths. Brendan has provided Diali with cause for a notable increase in her enthusiasm, sense of being encouraged, confidence and her incentive to work on her maths. She completes Brendan's assigned homework with enthusiasm (except when she is too tired at the end of the day) and she is practicing her times-tables with less resistance! She is looking forward to her next maths tutorial with Brendan. Brendan has a gentle, helpful and very supportive approach and he relates superwell to children. We are really so happy to have the support of Brendan as Diali's tutor.

Inside DurackTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amy focused on calculating area, perimeter, and volume for various shapes using her school assignment as practice.

For Year 9, Liam worked through coordinate geometry by finding gradients and distances between points, and also revisited the basics of Pythagoras' theorem with step-by-step examples.

In Year 10, Chloe practiced expanding binomial products and factorising monic quadratic expressions using different strategies to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, a student avoided writing out steps for rearranging equations, which led to missed sign changes and slower progress; as one tutor put it, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

Meanwhile, in Year 11 trigonometry and matrices, over-reliance on calculators was noted—inputting values too quickly sometimes resulted in incorrect answers or overlooked order of operations.

For a Year 5 unit conversion task, incomplete working made it difficult to track where errors crept in during decimal rounding. The pressure to finish quickly often left calculations only partially checked before moving on.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Durack noticed a Year 10 student who previously took too long rearranging equations is now solving them much faster and even finished their last assignment with only minimal prompting.

Another high schooler has become noticeably more independent, recently choosing which rule to apply for unknown triangle sides on their own instead of waiting for hints.

For a younger learner, initial struggles with adding and subtracting integers have eased; the student now works through integer problems confidently and rarely needs help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jennifer has been amazing. Lily will miss her weekly sessions - she has learned a lot because of Jennifers quietly persistent style.

The tutoring is going great. Bryce is great and has made a great connection with Ethan. Ethan looks forward to his session and he is already feeling more confident with his maths. Bryce was the perfect choice for Ethan.

aura is doing very well with Sasha and I am very happy with the way she is teaching Sasha.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australian International Islamic College.
