Building a strong connection with the student, identifying their unique learning style, and adapting teaching strategies accordingly are crucial.

I have found that a tutor should teach to the students strengths by minimising their weaknesses. A good tutor should listen and communicate early and often with parents and teachers. Tutor should build a strong and personal relationships with their students. As a matter of tutor and teaching, I have learnt to build strong patience and tolerance…

Provide an actual genuine relationship so the student can understand that the tutor is not simply there to teach but to talk to about anything. In my experience learning always works best when everyone can feel comfortable asking questions. When I was at school, any classroom that undervalued asking questions was bleak and difficult to grasp…

A strong relationship with the student allows them to be more confident in asking questions and trust in sharing their ideas and worries without feeling embarrassed, as this might not always be easy in a classroom setting. Being patient is essential as learning a new concept is not easy, and being frustrated with them may lead to them being…

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…

To approach each person differently.

I really believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient towards them and make them feel comfortable to keep asking for help again and again.

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.

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.
