Science Tutor Chifley, ACT
A tutor influences a student in many ways. He or she contributes a lot to the personality of a student. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to build confidence. And I believe confidence is something that is essential throughout a persons life. It's the confidence that makes one believe that they could do things…

Science Tutor Hughes, ACT
Through my time at university, I have found the ability to be patient is what separates my current tutors apart. A willingness to stop and answer questions, that some may be too scared to ask, has certainly improved my learning opportunities. The notion of ‘no stupid questions’ in my Power Electronics course this semester has been a great…

For me, the most important thing as a tutor is acknowledge and care students. On top of that, communication and cooperation with students can help each other. Overall, hardwork and course plan can pave the way to a successful tutor. I am easy going, hardworking, honest and eager to learn new methods. As a tutor, my first approach is to prepare…

Provide a stable and consistent source of support in their education, while simultaneously being a person they are under no pressure to impress. Since tutors have no influence over their lives outside of tutoring, students often feel comfortable asking us questions they would feel embarrassed or "dumb" for asking a parent or teacher. Tutors…

Help them to grow in their strengths and to encourage them to reach their potential in the subject. To teach them to be teachable and to teach others. I like the phrase that “each one teaches oneâ€. I may start to teach them but one day I hope the student is able to teach another the same skill. I am patient and am good at breaking down a…

Inside RivettTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Alex worked on balancing chemical and net-ionic equations, as well as identifying and naming polyatomic ions with explanations about solubility, using real experiment observations for context.

In Year 11, Priya tackled forming chemical compound formulae by understanding ionic charges and practised writing full chemical equations from worded questions, including complex reaction types like single and double displacement.

For Year 8, Sam focused on solving simultaneous equations with two variables using the elimination method and applied area formulas to circles and parallelograms in geometry tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Chemistry, one student relied heavily on memorisation but skipped written practice balancing equations—"more practice is required to solidify technique," a tutor noted, especially when polyatomic ions appeared.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Maths, a learner used a calculator for basic multiplication and square roots rather than recalling times tables, which slowed progress during timed tests.

For an upper primary English task, incomplete daily writing led to weaker sentence structure and limited improvement in punctuation.

In senior years, late assessment drafts and missed school revision sessions meant valuable feedback was left unused before major Modern History and Sociology exams.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rivett noticed that a Year 11 student, Sami, took the initiative to create his own practice questions from class examples—something he hadn't tried before—and this led him to improve his understanding of parabolas and boost his maths exam score from 50% to 71%.

Meanwhile, Rory (Year 9) wrote productively for almost an entire session without prompting and received positive feedback from his English teacher for a thorough presentation, after previously struggling with clarity on assignment requirements.

In primary sessions, Samuel has gone from confusion about area and perimeter to confidently mastering those skills and finishing all related problems unaided.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Lauren seems to be going well and most importantly is engaging with Steph and feeling better about Maths in general. We are very happy with Steph so far. She is a lovely girl who is always punctual and the communication between us is excellent. And I think Lauren looks forward to her sessions with Steph, which can only be a positive!

She has been SUPER professional. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is responsible, has made a connection with my son, has communicated with me and kept me informed all the time. She is a great asset. We look forward to working with her in the future.

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