To compliment and reinforce what a student is learning in their school. A tutor could even broaden their student's knowledge outside the classroom, and due to the more communication-based nature of tutoring as opposed to learning in class, an english tutor could potentially spark inspiration in their students for what they are learning. Patience…

A tutor , according to me should be available to the student at all times. They have to respond to the student's enquiries without much lag. Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments. I have had students giving me feedback like I am really patient in clarifying the concepts.…

Listening to their needs and their struggles is vital to finding a way for them to enjoy school and the subject. You need to be able to push the student but in a way that helps them to achieve something they're proud of. Pushing them for results is usually only going to increase their frustration and dislike for school/learning. Tutors are in a…

Inside FisherTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Christian focused on mastering long division and practiced applying function notation to simple algebra problems.

For Year 9, Sophia tackled quadratic equations without a calculator and worked through finding the equation of a parabola given three points using simultaneous equations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Christian concentrated on trigonometry, specifically using sine rules for general triangles and solving right-angled triangle problems involving unknown sides and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly arrived without their maths notes, making it difficult to refer back to previous work or clarify points in sessions; as a tutor noted, "No book again today. First part of problem was done in class and the original copy of this work was unavailable."

In Year 8 algebra, another student struggled with keeping their written solutions tidy and consistent—when steps weren't spaced out clearly, errors crept in during multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student hesitated to answer questions without immediate approval, which slowed her progress on number line tasks and made independent practice harder.

Recent Achievements

A Fisher tutor recently noticed a high school student who'd struggled with algebra now confidently talks through problems out loud and asks clarifying questions, instead of staying quiet when stuck.

Another high schooler made a clear leap in narrative writing—his paragraphs are more focused on the story's theme, and he's begun using emotive language effectively after previously writing quite flatly.

In primary sessions, one Year 4 student who used to hesitate with multiplication now solves these problems quickly and even explains her steps without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We couldn't be happier. Both girls are enjoying the tutoring with Jackie, and feel they are learning something new each week.

Kymberley has clicked quite well with Gayan and she seems to be very happy with him.

Annalise has settled and is working well with Sam.  He's a great tutor, very attentive and makes her think!

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Stromlo High School.
