I think that it's really important to be a good listener so that you can use feedback from students to improve your teaching. Not everyone learns in the same way so it's really important to work with each student to find the learning tehniques that work best for them. It's also important to recognise that each student could prefer different…

This involves attentive listening, emotional support, and creating a safe, judgement-free space. Additionally, empowering students to take ownership of their…

The tutor's ability to adapt to a student's learning style is crucial. Not every student can be taught in the same manner.

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

Deepti has been tutoring my son in Year 7. Deepti has developed an amazing rapport with my son and has inspired him emensely. His maths results for algebra have improved out of sight since having Deepti tutor him. Deepti is able to engage him and explain the rules and concepts and reinforce them through practice. Having been a teacher myself, I am very impressed with Deepti's skills and this has been reflected in my son's results. In addition his keenness in maths since having Deepti as his tutor is very impressive.

We are very pleased with the way Lucas is changing his approach to Math and Myunggwan has definitely had lots to do with it.

Pat is fantastic !!! Very respectful, conscientious young man and a very good teacher.

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.
