Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish. " It suggests that the tutor has a responsibility to inspire her students to take further exploration in the subject and cultivate good learning habits. Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a tutor, I would let my student know that they…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

Inside ThrosbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sam worked on writing improvement by focusing on clear sentence formation and reviewing the course outline.

For Year 9, Emily practiced solving simultaneous equations and completed revision on quadratics using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel covered the basics of differentiation—including power rule and first principles—and tackled applications of the sine and cosine rules in trigonometry problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student often arrived without their maths notebook or past test papers, which made it difficult to review errors and build on feedback—one tutor noted, "student forgot to take notes for half the lesson."

Meanwhile, in Year 10, another completed homework at 3am and struggled to understand working out until hints were given.

A senior student found remembering key terms under pressure challenging during quizzes and spent triple the target time on tasks due to organization issues.

When mock tests weren't finished beforehand in Year 11, class time was used catching up instead of clarifying sticking points.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Throsby recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to freeze up under test pressure now talking herself through tough problems aloud and checking her answers, which has helped her stay calm and finish practice quizzes with fewer mistakes.

In Year 10 maths, another student who once hesitated to try unfamiliar worded questions now explains each step out loud before solving them and managed to complete an entire non-calculator past paper almost entirely on her own.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student completed all their homework problems for the first time without reminders or extra help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for the email and yes Tannishka is very happy with Ryans tutoring. He is already showing signs of improvement.

Michael has been great and the sessions have been productive. Uznar now feels she has caught up with the rest of the class.

Yarra is very happy with Andrea, and I can already notice improvements :-) I expect Andrea to keep tutoring Yarra for a long time.

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 Gungahlin Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Throsby School.
