Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

Very supportive and good communications.
Jason and Suzanne Jasduf, Scullin

Inside ScullinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby focused on converting rates using the unitary method and practiced solving real-world word problems involving percentages and ratios.

Year 9 student Tom worked through linear inequalities and graphed straight lines, then extended to finding midpoints and distances between points on the Cartesian plane using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James tackled differentiation techniques, including applying the chain rule and practicing with questions involving tangents to curves.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to ask for help during algebra sessions, a pattern also noted in his regular classroom—this reluctance left errors unaddressed and slowed progress on solving equations.

In Year 10, another student tended to skip labeling triangle sides in geometry, making it harder to identify orientation and leading to repeated confusion; as the tutor described, "he finds himself getting stuck because the layout isn't clear."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner relied heavily on visual flashcards for times tables but struggled with oral recall without them, meaning instant fact retrieval was much weaker when tested verbally.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Scullin noticed a real shift with Jensen (Year 9), who previously hesitated to seek clarification but now consistently asks for help and even prepares questions ahead of sessions—something he never did before.

In senior maths, Callan (Year 12) had struggled to confidently apply index laws, but recently began using the power rule accurately and built on his understanding of limits.

Meanwhile, Evie (Year 4) used to rely heavily on her fingers for basic calculations; after practising verbal math games and using flashcards, she answered all her six times table problems perfectly without finger counting.

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 Southern Cross Early Childhood School.
