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…

Modern History Tutor Conder, ACT
A tutor is similar to a learning support assistant in schools, they are there to assist the teacher and they do lots of jobs to help students achieve learning goals. A tutor does the same thing except there is no classroom it’s just you and the student. I think just encouraging and supporting them as they navigate through their learning…

Modern History Tutor Chifley, ACT
Clarify concepts: I believe I can help my student better understand difficult material by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts and explaining it in a way that is easy to understand. Provide feedback: I can also give my students constructive feedback on their work, helping them to identify areas for improvement and grow as…

As a reliable and motivational tutor, I lead by example demonstrating initiative to commence and finish projects. I set clear expectations and monitor performance against agreed plans with key performance indicators. As trust, confidence and good performance is further demonstrated, I encourage initiative and reward students with more autonomy. I…

Keertana is by far the best tutor I had, way better than James An. Learning. She is very patient and has a way of explaining math principles. I have developed much more confidence now that she is guiding me with my maths journey..

Inside Isabella PlainsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Riley worked on Pythagoras' Theorem and applied basic algebra skills to worded problems.

In Year 9, Jack practised solving quadratic equations both by factorising and using the quadratic formula.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Priya tackled compound and simple interest calculations in consumer arithmetic, as well as strategies for managing percentage-based financial questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 maths, revision for upcoming exams was limited by a lack of independent study between sessions; as noted, "Jay hadn't done any extra revision for her exam since the last session." This led to weaker recall on older topics.

A Year 9 student's working was often messy when tackling word-based problems, making it hard to track mistakes and review steps.

In English (Year 8), essay planning sometimes faltered because ideas weren't clearly organised into paragraphs—key analysis was missing as a result.

In primary maths, one student completed most homework incorrectly at home but solved questions correctly in-person, showing reliance on immediate support over self-checking.

Recent Achievements

One Isabella Plains tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask questions now actively requesting clarification when simultaneous equations didn't make sense, leading to real breakthroughs in class.

In a recent high school session, another student who started off nervous about algebra began speaking up more as the lesson progressed and tackled challenging problems independently with much less prompting than before.

Meanwhile, a primary student mastered using a protractor for measuring angles—after weeks of uncertainty, she can now handle any angle question independently and explains her reasoning out loud as she works.

Thank you. The tutoring is working quite well at the moment, Paige is understanding more of her maths thanks to Chirags explanations.

I am very happy with my daughters tutor Surya, firstly he is very well manned , he is very good with explaining different methods for Patti to better understand .

All is going well so far with Orson tutoring Rachel. She is enjoying her lessons. Thanks.

Local Spots for Tutoring
