Cater to their individual needs - some people fall behind in school not because they are "less intelligent", but because of the "one shoe fits all" approach followed by many of our schools. It is important distinguish each person as an individual learner, and adjust accordingly. I also strongly believe in comprehension over memorisation.…

In my opinion the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subjects the student is struggling with more fun. To take the anxiety out of a problem and turn it into confidence is incredibly important for the students success. I believe that through my extensive experience in tutoring and mentoring students of various…

Identifying the students' weaknesses is the most important. If you don't know their weaknesses, it would be difficult to target a specific area, which consequently makes the students unable to improve. I have been a high achiever in mathematical Olympiads, meaning I have an extremely thorough understanding of most topics in the subject. As a…

I believe patience, respect and empathy is highly necessary to be able to connect with a student so that they can understand a difficult topic. Therefore, being able to frame a difficult topic in a way that is easy to understand enables the student to not only be confident in the subject matter but also allows them to find a way to approach the…

I strongly believe all students learn differently and have their own unique study methods, therefore it is important for a tutor to adjust to the student's needs and personalise the study session. However, I also consider it useful that tutors help develop new study habits and introduce new ways to learn whilst tutoring in a way that the student…

A tutor needs to be diligent too, finding ways and solutions…

I think the main role of a tutor is encouraging confidence in their students. I have found that most of the time my students know the answer, they're just too afraid to say it.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to try make difficult content more engaging and easier to grapple with.

If the tutor can give the student space to figure out the solutions to their problems and only step in once the student shows signs of struggling it is more beneficial for the student as this method will allow the student to learn to solve problems on their own.

The difference…

Inside Ferny GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily focused on division and multiplication using single-digit numbers, practicing with a mix of word problems and number sentences.

In Year 10, Jack worked through trigonometric identities to solve equations and also completed exercises involving basic matrix operations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily explored vectors by calculating scalar projections and dot products, applying these to questions about magnitude and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often arrived without books or materials, so the session started with searching for resources instead of learning.

In Year 12 Specialist Maths, notes lacked detail and context—one tutor observed, "despite having significantly more notes than before, these notes lacked context and detail," making revision confusing before tests.

A younger student (Year 3) repeatedly counted on fingers for basic addition and became frustrated during division tasks; this slowed progress and reduced confidence mid-lesson.

For one senior assignment, no new work had been completed a week out from deadline, leaving little time to seek feedback or refine responses.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ferny Grove recently noticed some genuine shifts: a Year 11 student who previously avoided speaking up began actively asking questions and even brought a notebook filled with detailed notes—something he'd never done before.

In a Year 7 session, the student arrived prepared with specific class questions and tackled her assignment independently, where she used to wait for step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, one primary student who had always counted on fingers is now solving base-10 addition problems mentally without prompting. Last week, that same student finished all ten problems without needing to stop for help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

At this point, we are happy with the way things are progressing. Ryan seems a bright and capable young man and Kirsten does feel the sessions are assisting her.

We have been very happy with Matthew and importantly, Xavier has worked well with Matthew and has found the tutoring beneficial.

Claire found Samir to be a great tutor - very knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful :-)

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 Arana Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ferny Grove State School.
