The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is grow their confidence in the subject matter so that they know, with work, they will understand what their teacher is telling them and succeed rather than constantly feeling defeated. I believe my main strength as a tutor will be my ability to communicate with students. It is important not to…

Teaching should be done flexibly, catering to each individuals as all students are different in their approach to learning and the time it takes to grasp each topics. I have also learnt that students often find themselves too afraid to ask questions and as a tutor I must be patient in ensuring that a student understands each questions before…

10/10 very patient and knowledgeable, I'm a slow learner, and find maths difficult as I am a visual learner. Thank you!

Inside TennysonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ella practised **multiplication facts (especially 3x, 4x, and 6x tables)** using flash cards and games, worked on reading time to the nearest five minutes in both analogue and digital formats, and completed comprehension activities after reading short non-fiction texts.

Year 7 student Alex focused on **solving equations with unknowns on both sides** using step-by-step algebraic manipulation and reviewed key terminology in geometry through labelled diagrams.

For Year 8, Sophia tackled **writing analytical paragraphs for English essays** by breaking down topic sentences and supporting evidence, then revised ratios and percentage problems in maths with real-world examples.

Recent Challenges

Incomplete homework and lack of focus were frequent hurdles for Elsa (Years 3–6). On several occasions, such as one maths session where "she had trouble with the time questions… and was easily distracted," missing work led to confusion in new concepts.

In English, untidy written work—like forgetting to keep letters on the line or rushing sentences—made it harder to spot spelling errors and slowed progress in writing tasks.

Hesitation to try strategies like talking aloud or using pen and paper persisted: "She is still hesitant to try the strategies."

Distraction crept in often, especially during maths problem-solving or when reading unfamiliar words aloud.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tennyson noticed that Ella, a primary student who used to rush through her English tasks and make careless spelling mistakes, now slows down when writing and self-corrects her pronunciation—something she avoided before.

In recent high school sessions, one student who previously hesitated to answer maths questions has begun taking more risks, confidently tackling times tables without waiting for reassurance.

Another secondary student recently finished a creative writing piece independently after earlier relying heavily on joint planning, showing real initiative by choosing to finish the story solo.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Wen is fantastic! Jack is very happy with the tutoring so we would like to continue with her.

Dhreeti tutor has been great so far and my daughter is really comfortable with her.

Sharren is wonderful. They have formed an instant connection, and Bree is already feeling more confident and did an open book maths test yesterday without looking at the book hardly at all. Sharren is already a part of the house when i walk through the door and she is already in my opinion, the best tutor for Bree

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 Corinda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Sebastian's Primary School.
