I have served in several leadership roles both as a student and as an engineer. I believe this gives me the people skills that i need as a tutor. With my experience as an engineering student I have used…

A tutor's main job is to help re-explaining new concepts and/or help students consolidate new concepts as well as integrating new ones as they are being taught. Therefore, the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to explain new concepts in simple and relatable terms, encourage interests in a particular subject and most…

I firmly believe that a tutor should not only share knowledge but also inspire a love for learning. Building a strong mentor-student relationship is crucial, nurturing an environment where questions are encouraged, and challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth. Also, tailoring teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, and…

Give the student confidence. Confidence either to persist with the hard work till they hit a breakthrough or the confidence to thing around the problems. There are a lot of students who don't lack in talent and just a couple little things are holding them back. Solving those can really help them grow. I am able to seperate a topic into byte sized…

Inside QueenstownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Maddison worked on multiplication and division, as well as applying the gradient formula to points on a graph.

In Year 9, Marcus focused on trigonometric ratios and practiced solving angles of elevation and depression problems using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Charlotte reviewed negative indices and drew exponential graphs with reflections to reinforce understanding of function transformations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly left steps out in algebra and trigonometry, saying, "I can do this in my head," which led to hidden sign errors and confusion with negative indices.

In a Year 9 scenario, missed homework was common—one lesson began with "I lost my questions," so class time had to be used for catch-up rather than new concepts.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student admitted not practicing set work; as a result, she struggled to recall how to convert fractions to percentages during problem-solving tasks.

One Year 7 session revealed that messy working and over-erasing made it hard for her to check or correct errors on perimeter questions.

Recent Achievements

One Queenstown tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through trigonometry problems now pausing to double-check her steps and talk herself through the logic aloud—something she avoided before.

In Year 9, another student initially struggled with compound area questions but recently caught onto even the more complicated ones, carefully reviewing each answer for accuracy as she worked.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who often guessed when unsure about spelling now brings her homework every week and openly asks for clarification, which helped her earn her first perfect score on a spelling test.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We're very happy with Kritika. Ella has taken to her easily and is really enjoying the work. I'm feeling very optimistic.

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

Esme has connected with her tutor and is progressing well. We are pleased with the progress so far.

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