Software Dev Tutor Yarralumla, ACT
I think the most important thing is to inspire them by making subjects at hand for them to be able to easily understand completely. I also believe to make them see the core values of knowledge in our lives. I as a tutor always help my students to strive for 100% by guiding them through their struggles. I have patience to see particularly my…

The most important thing I can do for a student is fill in the gaps that the teacher can't. Teachers aren't able to modify the way they teach for every individual student, as a tutor I can do that. I am good at helping people understand concepts that are difficult to understand. I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other people.…

The tutor can change the life of a student. A tutor is like a mentor for any student. Teacher teach concepts but the tutor makes sure that the student understands how to apply that concept.

As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can bring to a student is a different perspective on the subject matter they are studying. While teachers and textbooks can be great resources, they often present the material in a standardized and one-size-fits-all way that may not resonate with every student. By providing a different voice…

A tutor can help the student overcome the fear of not asking questions as there are no "dumb" questions. A tutor can also guide the student to understand the way of studying efficiently by themselves. A tutor should also motivate the students and serve as a guiding light to their students in studies and for the future. I have high interpersonal…

I think the most important thing is to teach them how to think in the correct way. For physics and science, understanding is much more important than remembering.

Inside GarranTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jamie worked on simplifying fractions and ratios, focusing on finding common factors and dividing across, and also practiced BODMAS for the correct order of operations.

In Year 10, Lily reviewed factorising and expanding quadratics, then explored graphing parabolas using Desmos to visualise their shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Arjun continued differentiation techniques, including implicit differentiation and applying these skills to basic kinematics problems.

Recent Challenges

Time management was a significant challenge during exams for the Year 11 student; she spent too much effort on questions that she felt less confident in, which left less time for other sections.

In Year 9 algebra, skipping steps during equation solving hid sign errors and made it harder to spot where things went wrong.

A Year 6 student's homework was often incomplete or mostly incorrect but improved when completed with guidance. Distraction and talking sometimes interrupted focus during lessons, and in these moments, important methods were mixed up or forgotten under pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Garran tutor noticed a Year 9 student who had previously hesitated to attempt more challenging quadratics now choosing to work through them independently, even rearranging formulas and solving for unknowns without prompting.

In a senior session, another high schooler who once mixed up the steps in graphing parabolas was able to clearly plot graphs and accurately label all coordinates after some targeted practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student—who used to count on their fingers for every addition—recently completed several complex sums mentally and corrected their own mistakes without being asked.

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 Garran Primary School.
