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.…

A tutor, first and foremost, must ensure that a student is improving their grades, that is why people look for tutors in the first place. However, as well as this, a really good tutor can instil a genuine love of a given subject. This will also greatly assist in improving the student's performance. Thus the most important thing a tutor can do is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide guidance and support to help the student reach their academic goals. This may include providing study tips and strategies, helping the student stay organized and motivated, and providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment where the student can ask questions and receive feedback.…

I believe that the one of the most important things a tutor can do is to help a student truly realise their academic potential, especially since the needs of one student may be overlooked in a classroom setting. It is also important, however, to help inspire confidence in the subject, and hopefully a passion, so that they continue to succeed…

It is all about knowing the audience. Not all kids/students have the same skillset, some are good in memorizing, some are good in analogy, some are good in logic and arithmetic. So it's about knowing their strengths and align it in a way that it would enhance their ability to learn. I am very dynamic and very patient in terms of tutoring, the…

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

We are very happy with Sheetal. Timothy is making great progress and we are happy to continue. We will have Tim do his Navy test in a few weeks and if we need to do a bridging course we will ask Sheetal to tutor him with that as well.

Mitchell is happy with the new tutor, thank you. Sean is a good communicator which makes Mitchell feel more relaxed thanks again.

Luke enjoyed the initial experience and seems keen to Have Christopher assist him with his studies. At this stage so far so good.

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.
