Modern History Tutor Mawson, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

Local Reviews

I have nothing to say but to praise Paul and his knowledge and kindness when it comes to teaching my son. Paul has been fantastic with him and they have created a good bond with each other. Paul knows what strengthening my sons needs and that's what usually they work on every lesson. I just want to express my gratitude to Paul for everything he's done so far.

Inside HumeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Noah worked on reading comprehension and analysis for "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," as well as identifying and using adverbs of time and place in context.

Muhammad, also in Year 8, developed a crime fiction podcast by profiling characters, drafting scenes, and editing story structure while reviewing related vocabulary.

Ari, another Year 8 student, practiced statistics skills including interpreting box-and-whisker plots and describing chance with pie graphs and theoretical probability questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student forgot to bring homework, saying end-of-term exams left him drained; as a result, revision time was cut short and gaps in statistics practice remained.

In Year 10 English, one student deleted his entire essay after the teacher requested a new format but did not share drafts for feedback—"he may have been pressed for time or reluctant to share"—leaving editing skills underdeveloped before the due date.

Meanwhile, a primary student often mixed up addition and multiplication during mental maths because he preferred talking through ideas instead of showing workings on paper, which led to recurring confusion in problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Hume tutor observed a notable shift with a Year 10 student who previously avoided asking questions during math lessons—this week, he began pausing to clarify confusing steps instead of quietly guessing, leading to more accurate solutions.

In senior English, another student who struggled to organize essay arguments was able to draft clearer thesis statements and topic sentences after breaking down the rubric together; she even emailed her new outline for feedback without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner, who'd hesitated over open-ended writing tasks, wrote two descriptive exercises independently once given a structured scaffold.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tom was absolutely amazing. He was able to create a great connection with Grace immediately. It was the first time I've seen her smile while doing math! He really provided some achievable challenges and she is actually excited for her next session.

Belle has benefited immensely from Amir's tuition and she has regained her confidence in both English and Maths.

Adam has been a wonderful addition to Rachel's studying efforts. His explanations of math content have been very explicitly explained and is helping Rachel build a deeper knowledge.

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 Queanbeyan-Palerang Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jerrabomberra High School.
