I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do. Whether it is simply listening to troubles they are having with a class or with life, listening to the student is very important. As someone who has studied a wide range of topics throughout high school and college, I feel like I have a wide range of expertise.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be the friend who helps in their studies' problems and ensure moral support wherever required academically. Flexibility in teaching as each student is different and you need to tackle their problems in a different manner. Patience, setting and achieving the set goals without pressuring…

Inside McKellarTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Atiana worked on subtraction and practiced simple addition, focusing on building foundational number skills.

In Year 9, Sam tackled algebra by collecting like terms and solving equations, as well as reviewing indices using examples from his school booklet.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amy concentrated on solving exponential and logarithmic functions and learned how to sketch their graphs for different transformations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly skipped writing working for algebra and fractions, making it hard to catch calculation errors—"he jumped to the answer but struggled to explain his steps," a tutor observed.

In Year 10, not planning answers before starting probability tree diagrams led to confusion in interpreting multi-step problems.

For a Year 4 student, incomplete homework meant new fraction concepts weren't reinforced between lessons.

A Year 11 student lost confidence after small mistakes in calculus; this hesitation made her reluctant to attempt harder questions, leaving challenging derivative problems unpractised by session's end.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mckellar noticed some encouraging shifts across a range of students recently. Charlotte (Year 12) had struggled with the chain rule in calculus but now applies it accurately and with clear reasoning during sessions.

In Year 9, Sam used to make frequent mistakes on long multiplication, but after steady practice he recently completed all his homework questions correctly—something he couldn't manage just a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Amy (Year 11) used to hesitate asking for help when stuck; this week, she openly asked questions whenever a physics concept felt unclear and worked through challenging rate-of-change problems with greater persistence.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Claire found Samir to be a great tutor - very knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful :-)

Tuition sessions are going on really well as my son has had considerable improvements in Maths with better grades ( jumped from C to A) and much better conceptual understanding of several difficult topics. He finds Ben a gentle and consistent tutor who has kept a wonderful rapport with him. They have also covered some topics in English which helped quite a bit. I would certainly recommend Benjamin as a very helpful and effective tutor for teenagers.

Jenny is an excellent tutor. She was incredibly patient with Zoe and a really good teacher. Zoe was really happy and confident working with her and felt safe to ask questions and sometimes because of her illness she could not really concentrate but Jenny stayed patient and really worked well with her. I highly recommend Jenny.

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 Miles Franklin Primary School.
