Apart from imparting knowledge, a good tutor should be able to make the student fall in love with the subject. This will guide the student to understand the topic better and most importantly relate it to practical scenarios. Further, a tutor plays a decisive role in unraveling the hidden potential of a student. Not everyone is meant to be a math…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be compassionate and assess their situation and help them navigate through the problems they are facing. Secondly, I'd say is to impart knowledge to the student as this is his/her base and thus it needs to be strengthened and help them realize their dreams and guide them to it. One of my…

Primarily, a tutor needs to be a good listener. Listen the problems of an individual carefully and provide the solution. Tutor can be a mentor not only of the academic but can be a mentor of other emotional and mental problems. Patience is the baby step to become an effective tutor.

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in. This should extend beyond the tutoring time as the student develops the skills required to support…

Make sure that you're not doing the work for them, only assisting them in their learning- For it will be them sitting the exam come the end of the year. By teaching them not only the subject matter but also the skills to mold themselves to every problem or question, you'll be instilling confidence in them that no matter what is introduced to them…

Local Reviews

Sakshi is great and worked really well with Ella, feels like a good fit.
Michelle, Alberton

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.
