Justin Tristan Santos
Tutor Girraween, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is impart a willingness to learn, especially in subjects they can't necessarily enjoy. If they can't enjoy it, the least a tutor can do is answer their questions about why it may be helpful or how it may be useful. My strengths as a tutor are my ability to connect with students and provide them…

Tutor Girraween, NSW
A tutor can have a long term impact on a student by showing them how interesting the subject really is. This is something that is very difficult to convey through writing alone, and so most textbooks are not very successful at doing this.
An equally important short term goal for a tutor should be to ensure that their student has a deep…

Inside GirraweenTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Joseph worked on place value and rounding numbers, as well as identifying prime and composite numbers using hands-on number exercises.
Year 8 student Rory tackled linear relationships by exploring the y = mx + c form and practiced solving algebraic equations with substitution.
For Year 10, Nancy focused on financial maths concepts including simple interest calculations and was introduced to compound interest problems through step-by-step examples.
Recent Challenges
In Year 9 algebra, one student often copied notes quickly and "would miss a sign or two because he go past too fast," leading to errors in factorising tasks and missed steps in quadratic problems.
In upper primary mathematics, another student repeatedly defaulted to using algorithms for multiplication rather than trying mental strategies, slowing progress on multi-step questions and making it harder to spot mistakes—especially when asked to convert mixed numbers or simplify fractions.
During NAPLAN practice, incomplete written working meant key problem-solving steps were forgotten, causing avoidable confusion and extra time spent re-reading questions instead of moving forward confidently.
Recent Achievements
A Girraween tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask questions is now openly requesting help with tricky algebra steps, instead of quietly guessing—especially during lessons on factorising quadratics.
Another high schooler made a leap in Maths: after weeks of uncertainty, she managed to self-correct her mistakes when converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, even explaining her thinking aloud for the first time.
In a primary session, one student surprised his tutor by identifying and pronouncing words correctly while reading aloud—a marked change from earlier reluctance to attempt unfamiliar vocabulary.

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 Constitution Hill Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Girraween Public School.
