Modern History Tutor Turner, ACT
As tutors, we can teach the kids the knowledge that they're learning in class, or help them with their assignments. But really, the single most important thing we can do for them is teaching them how to learn more effectively and independently. I have participated in multiple theatre performances and so, am a clear and confident speaker. My…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

Provide a safe space for questions and growth to happen. I believe tutoring offers a unique style of personalised learning so that students can receive clarification in areas they're struggling in.

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student. All students have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is the responsibility of the tutor to understand their student as an individual in order to tutor in a way that is the most effective for a student to improve. For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

I also use down-to-earth…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through.

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…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

I think it is important that a tutor be able to explain a concept in a way that the student can understand, internalise and remember, while tapping into their passion for the subject, rather than strictly and laboriously forcing them to rote-learn concepts (with the exception of fairly simple ideas like times tables of course) I think my strengths…

Patience and an emphatic approach to teaching are essential for a tutor. Students may lack confidence, be overwhelmed with material, and be stressed. Therefore, it's important to be considerate and patient. This approach can also help understand students' misconceptions and errors by being patient, and listening to students can reveal what areas…

Listening to their needs and their struggles is vital to finding a way for them to enjoy school and the subject.

Pushing them for results is usually only going to increase their frustration and dislike for school/learning. Tutors are in a…

Local Reviews

We have been really happy with Aastha.
Josephine

Inside TurnerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Anton practised long multiplication and division alongside reading comprehension, and also spent time developing rhythm skills in music through hands-on clapping exercises.

For Year 8, Charlotte reviewed surface area, volume, and perimeter problems using practice questions to prepare for an upcoming test, then tackled algebraic fractions with a focus on multiplying and dividing complex expressions.

Meanwhile, Tom in Year 9 refined his English essay on Of Mice and Men by exploring themes of the American Dream, and revised linear relationships in maths ahead of his test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student faced difficulty maintaining logical written steps in algebra, with a tutor noting, "he skipped showing steps in rearranging equations, which hid sign errors." This often meant time was lost tracing mistakes instead of moving forward.

In Year 7 English, one learner's messy handwriting and tendency to rush made their sentences hard to follow—sometimes the grammar suffered as a result.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling probability struggled to recall sampling methods under timed conditions; even when understanding the theory, lack of structured revision led to avoidable confusion during more complex tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Turner noticed a big shift with one Year 11 student who used to hesitate on complex algebra but now independently tackles expanding binomials and even remembers the steps for tricky parabolas from previous sessions.

Another high schooler, after struggling to start essays, now jots down discussion points between lessons and brings well-prepared outlines—she's even watched extra films to deepen her analysis for English.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often guessed at times tables is now confidently doing quick mental multiplication and checks his work before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I'm really happy with my tutor Karen which has helped me a lot with my work so far, she really does help me with my errors and to understand my topic and it has made a difference to my learning and I'm more ahead of the class now. I would really like to thank this company for letting me try and push my ability to my greatest. I hope the rest of year stays the same and once again thank it had made a big difference.

Jade has settled in really well with Sangdi, and has told me that she feels she is learning and understanding new things each time they have a meeting. I am also happy with Sangdi as I can see that he has already made progress with Jade.

Holly has stated that Jennifer her tutor is helping her with her Maths. She is certainly in a better frame of mind with Jennifer than when either myself or my husband had tried to help in the past. Early days yet but looking positive.

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