I believe the best thing you can do for a student is provide them with an environment where there is no fear of trying and failing. A tutor needs to be patient and kind and guide the student to a place of understanding.

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…

In my opinion, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide personalized guidance and support, foster a positive learning environment, and encourage critical thinking and independent learning. Tutors should strive to understand their students' unique learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses, and adapt their approach…

That light bulb moment I discussed above. It’s getting the student to unlock that puzzle in their mind and being able to understand the problem at hand. I find that is the true way to learn. Forcing a student to revise work and memorise is not something I found of, hence it’s not something I promote or work by. I’m balanced in both…

The most important thing a tutor may do for a student is provide them with the resources required to understand a subject in a way that further nurtures natural curiosity. For example, with enough background knowledge of science, students often start noticing things in their everyday life that make them question things from a scientific…

Inside JackaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student William focused on practising times tables for 2, 3, and 5 by reciting them aloud and started exploring division as the opposite of multiplication.

Year 8 student revised complementary and supplementary angles, then applied angle rules in triangles—including Pythagoras' theorem—using visual diagrams to support understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jacob worked through quadratic expressions by expanding brackets and factorising terms using exercises from the Cambridge textbook.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student repeatedly left homework incomplete and forgot their school notebook—once explaining, "past test papers have been damaged and can't be brought back." This made it hard to track progress between lessons.

In Year 11, another student completed their homework at 3am but didn't understand the working out until hints were given through Mathspace; study strategies were printed out for future use.

One tutor noted that a Year 9 student "forgot to take notes for half the lesson," so missed key points on angle reasoning. These lapses meant valuable time was lost relearning rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jacka noticed a Year 8 student who used to stay quiet now regularly asks for help when stuck and shows more of their working out, making it easier to spot where they're going wrong.

In high school maths, one student recently completed all probability assignment questions independently—something she'd hesitated with before—and even explained her steps aloud.

Another senior student, after previously rushing through tests and missing details, slowed down during a timed quiz and caught her own mistakes without prompting, finishing with every answer checked herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The tutoring is going great! Brody really enjoys his time with Daryl and his grade has improved greatly. He got an A on his assessment today and the last time he spoke with his teacher his grade had increased from a D to a C.

Andrew had his last week with Cameron this Saturday, Cameron has been an excellent tutor, he is very tuned in to maths specialist, and has helped Andrew greatly in his learning.

Georgette, Luiz's tutor is amazing and we would like her to continue if possible over the school summer holidays.

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 Gungahlin Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Taqwa School.
