I also believe my personal relationship…

Teaching minds, touching hearts, transforming lives.

In other words, helping them not only in the four corners of the…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

The biggest thing a tutor can do for a student is to be encouraging and respectful, cultivating a safe environment in which they feel that they can pose questions and share answers without fear of judgement. In doing so, it makes the intake of knowledge easier and an overall more enjoyable experience. A tutor must also show a genuine interest in…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support a student to become an independent learner. By doing this, it means a student is able to use problem-solving techniques in their study and in the classroom, rather than just encouraging rote learning. My strengths as a tutor is effective communication skills and being able…

According to me, a tutor must collaborate with his students to set realistic goals for them in the short as well as long term. Apart from that, a tutor should definitely empower students with effective study methods, time management strategies, and organizational techniques as it encourages them to develop independence in their learning journey.…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention. Only when they felt attended to, be it serious work or not, they will start listening but, also educating them about priorities. As well as having the patience to tackle the questions one at a time. Strengths: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

Inside The JunctionTutoring Sessions

Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Diana is terrific.  She's on time, very patient and Declan feels he is now understanding the basic concepts.  It will take time but Diana will get there with Dec

At this stage we are very happy. Nick likes Tharaka and his overall attitude to maths has changed. He is quite happy to give things a go. His confidence is building.

Suparna is lovely and very patient and Sitota is very happy with her. I think it will take a good few months before we see any progress with Sitota considering her learning difficulties. All positive and we are moving forward though
