English Tutor Kaleen, ACT
I think the most important thing about tutoring is not about sharing knowledge, but about sharing my passion for the subjects with the students because when I was a high school student, I was lost and did not know what to do or why I was studying those subjects, then my private mentor inspired me with his passion for the subjects (maths and…

English Tutor Lawson, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

English Tutor Palmerston, ACT
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is to step back wherever they can. Tutoring is not giving all the answers or fixing all the problems, but rather it is about setting the framework for students to learn skills and techniques to solve academic problems themselves. Tutoring is about guidance, as opposed to metaphorically…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are: helping to empower them to improve their results in their chosen subjects through listening to their concerns and working through them in a step-by-step manner. Tutors should encourage students to be independent and to take responsibility for their work through the provision of…

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 an english 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…

Inside GiralangTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam worked on converting measurements between units like metres and litres, then practiced algebra skills such as using pronumerals and indices.

In Year 9, Angus revised factorising quadratic equations with the sum-product method and began solving quadratics using both substitution and elimination techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Atiana focused on exponential and logarithmic functions, including graphing these functions to deepen her understanding of their properties.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion has been an ongoing issue for a Year 6 student; recent notes repeatedly highlight that work is not being submitted, which is starting to impact retention of maths and English skills.

In a senior secondary setting, one Year 11 student was observed "rushing through" trigonometry test questions—leading to repeated careless errors that would have been caught with slower, more methodical checking.

Another high school student hesitated to write down algebra steps, jumping straight to answers but struggling to explain reasoning when asked. This left gaps in working that made reviewing mistakes harder during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Giralang recently saw a Year 10 student move from struggling with non-monic quadratics to confidently factorising them after some patient review, even building a personalised cheat sheet for revision.

Another high schooler, who used to rush through algebra questions and miss steps, is now back-checking each solution and catching small mistakes on her own—something she rarely did before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has begun using the "thinking aloud" technique while tackling tricky geometry problems, which helped her independently spot where she'd made an error and correct it without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have been very happy with Pat. Harriet has definitely progressed well in her maths under Pats tutoring.

Martha is an extremely polite and professional young woman. Martha is pleasant to deal with and is always on time. Anna is comfortable with and has enjoyed her sessions with Martha and has confidence in Martha's ability to help her with Maths.

We have no doubt the extra tutoring with Mina got Jamison over the line for a solid band 6.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Giralang Primary School.
