Whether that may be going through study strategies or instilling motivation, the main crux of the job should be so that the student can…

Local Reviews

My son was reluctant to engage with another tutor before meeting Asher. After the first session, he now prepares himself and is keen to revise subject areas he needs assistance with. He is more confident at school and feels better prepared for exams amd assignments. Asher is very patient and has great advice, He connects well with teenagers.

Inside JoondannaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Joshua worked on developing a PowerPoint presentation about the concept of 'purpose,' focusing on creating clear questions and in-depth analysis to support his understanding.

Year 11 student Lachlan practised planning exam responses by breaking down past composing prompts, with an emphasis on quickly identifying key elements and structuring effective answers.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia explored major themes from 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' selected supporting quotes, and identified relevant language features within those excerpts for text analysis.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, one student struggled to select relevant quotes and connect them to key themes, often hesitating when required to expand on language features. As a tutor noted, "he found it difficult to match evidence with the question."

In Year 9, a student's film analysis was limited by describing scenes instead of using technical terms like camera angles or facial expressions—this left marks on the table during assessments.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner forgot their maths book, leading to time lost sourcing materials rather than practicing problem-solving.

These moments made it harder for each student to fully demonstrate their abilities under pressure.

Recent Achievements

A Joondanna tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after struggling to plan her essays, now picks out every key word in the prompt and checks that her writing addresses each part—something she hesitated with before.

Another high schooler recently became much more comfortable choosing relevant quotes for analysis; he started weaving them smoothly into his sentences instead of making his writing sound choppy.

In Year 5 maths, Mae has begun opening up about her progress and now responds well to homework, even sharing how she feels about tackling new problems.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Justin has been such an asset to Connor, honestly, his confidence and understanding has improved with Justin's assistance. We are so greatful to yourselves and Justin for all the work and patience over the past couple of weeks.

Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.

I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient.  Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then.  I will certainly recommend your service to others.   I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.

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 Osborne Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Denis School.
