One of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is not just learn the subject based on the books or resources but also learn them by heart. It might not seem important but it might be useful in the near future. Also, it is very important that the tutor and the student build a good relationship because it is easier to learn and…

I consider some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be able to understand where the point of view of where the student is coming from and what specifically they may require for their learning, to be able to navigate problems, and ultimately to help the student develop their own academic skills and confidence. As such…

The tutor should just not stick to the knowledge that is available in the textbooks but should make learning a fun experience for the students by giving relevant examples .

A student needs to be able to think flexibly and critically, as opposed to simply memorising information by rote. Encouraging these aspects of learning can assist a student with future endeavours.

Inside MagillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Kieron focused on confidence intervals for means and proportions, as well as tackling practice questions on the Central Limit Theorem and normal distributions.

For Year 11 Jessica, recent sessions involved problem solving with similar triangles and exploring integral calculus to find the area under curves.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Nick worked through trigonometric problems using sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, along with an introduction to permutations and combinations for his maths assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student did not complete assigned homework questions for networks, leading to repeated explanations instead of building new skills—"we spent the session going over concepts which I had already explained."

A Year 11 student preparing for calculus and physics tests repeatedly avoided setting up a revision timetable, making last-minute study more stressful.

In Year 12, incomplete assignments were common, with several sessions focused on unfinished reports or calculations rather than exam practice.

For a Year 9 student, untidy written work in maths made it hard to trace errors and check steps clearly during problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

A Magill tutor noticed Kieron, a high school student, now brings his own questions from homework and class to each session—something he was hesitant to do earlier in the year.

Olivia, also in high school, recently worked through challenging calculus problems she'd previously avoided; last week she completed all revision questions on her own before moving to the next chapter.

In Year 7 maths, Jessica had struggled with ratios for weeks but this time began explaining her reasoning aloud as she finished every question without prompting from her tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Morgan has responded very well already with Hazel.  She said her explanations of problems has made her maths much more easier. We are very happy with Hazel.

Despite a few minor glitches for our first few sessions with James arriving late (all sorted now I think), we've been VERY happy with the way he's working with Emily. She lacks confidence in maths, and I think James's gentle and patient approach is really helping.

Rishi is great guy and working well with our son James. We realise it is early days but James is already more confident with his approach towards maths. Thanks for checking in with us. It is appreciated.

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 Campbelltown Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Magill School.
