I believe that creating open communication is a very important part of teaching. I consider the best way to connect with students is to create a positive learning environment and encourage interaction and discussion. A tutor also needs to be a role model for students so it is essential that they act responsibly and are polite and courteous to them…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is instil a sense of passion for the subject. The student should feel comfortable going to class and doing the homework afterwards. The tutor should be assisting and looking out for concepts and gaps that the student might have and fill these gaps. On top of this, I want to be able to change a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is giving them confidence and equipping them with skills to find solutions on their own. Rather than simply copying a tutor's methods or solutions, it is essential that a student develops the skills to confidently approach new issues they could be faced with. One strength of mine is that I am…

As said earlier, a tutor is not someone with a "rat-race" kind of approach to learning with zero engaging feats. The most important thing is being keen on motivation. Since I plan teaching students from a primary to higher level each level would require motivation in a very different way. For e.g. engaging primary level students with a minor…

The best thing a tutor can do is leave a student with the tools, knowledge and confidence to continue advancing their academic career without relying on the tutor or teachers. I'm quite smart but also good at talking and listening to people. I see one of my strengths as being able to articulate an idea in a simple way, especially with Economics,…

The biggest part of tutoring is adjusting to the various communication styles of each student, when students rely on visuals to understand a topic, the tutor needs to present graphs or sketches to exemplify formulas in a more visual manner when students prefer to learn using examples the topic needs to be translated into more tangible manners.…

Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through.

Helping students understand the importance of learning is the main key. Students need to learn the importance of an educational journey. A classroom of 20 plus students may not always give them the individual attention that is needed. a tutor can help bridge the gap for attention and contact that a classroom may not allow and thereby help students…

I believe that the purpose of tutoring is not just to make the student better at a given subject (although of course that too is important) but rather to teach them the skills that they need to approach problems in all of their subjects and even beyond school to life as a whole. The ability to look at a maths problem and know the correct formula…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

When you help others, you grow in the process. There is no important thing a tutor can do for a student apart from working on themselves to aid the student better…

A tutor should be able to make a student understand what they are doing by providing practical examples or situations and going step by step in the process.

I am great at boosting the student's confidence as I…

Inside MacquarieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily worked on visualising numbers with creative representations to boost addition speed and practiced small operations using cards.

In Year 8, Jacob focused on turning mixed numbers into improper fractions and did quick mental calculations for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie tackled questions involving linear algebra by rearranging equations and working with fractions from her recent lessons.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, one student relied heavily on flashcards for times tables but found oral recall difficult; when asked "2 x 7" without visual aids, hesitation was noticeable. As a tutor noted, "she performs very well, almost instantly, when we use them, whereas if we're doing purely oral exercises, it is a bit harder."

Meanwhile, in Year 10 Maths Methods, incomplete homework (e.g., VCE 2006 Paper and CH2/CH6/CH16 questions) meant less exposure to exam-style problems and limited feedback opportunities.

In Year 12, messy note-taking left gaps in revision chapters—key ideas went unrecorded during complex differentiation practice.

Recent Achievements

One Macquarie tutor noticed a real shift with a Year 4 student who used to rely heavily on her fingers for basic maths, but after practicing verbal games and using flashcards, she now answers multiplication questions without counting out loud.

In a recent high school session, a Year 10 student who had previously struggled with index laws completed all related problems independently and even asked to try harder questions next time.

Another high schooler has started consistently finishing most of their assigned questions correctly during sessions—a big change from earlier lessons when they hesitated to attempt problems on their own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are more than happy with Kancelot. He and Rohan seem to get along well, he is punctual and polite , and is also helping Rohan improve his maths skills.

Yes, everything is going well and Avishag is GREAT!  She is clear, direct, and no-nonsense, which is exactly what Is needs (can't get away with anything), and yet this is balanced with underlying kindness (motivated to do well).  It's not something I can describe well in words, but Isabelle definitely responds well to Avi's method.  She has improved to passing the most recent test (from massively nowhere near passing), and I can see her confidence in math has improved, too.  She was shocked to suddenly find herself helping some of her friends work through questions that they couldn't understand, and enjoyed the feeling, so that is an achievement!  Yes, she still has a long way to go, but we're off to a good start.  It's so good to have Avi reinforce methods of organization and skills that don't register for Is when I mention them, too!  We are both very, very grateful to have Avi help Is through this.

We are extremely happy with Estephanie.   She has managed to hit exactly the right note.   We are just looking for Isabel to understand some basic principles and Estaphie is managing this with patience and skill.    I cannot speak highly enough of Estaphanie.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Macquarie Primary School.
