From my experience, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to create a safe learning environment by providing clear explanation and tailored guidance based on the academic needs which can help the student build the confidence in not only conquering their present challenges but also how to approach these challenges on their own.…

The most important thing I believe a tutor can do for the students is to understand and listen to them and their needs. When a tutor listens and spends time building a relationship with his/her student, it allows the tutor to personalise the learning for the student by incorporating connections to the student's interests. In addition, it allows…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is pose as their mentor than just a teacher. By doing this, a student will feel safe, and empowered; this in turn will make them learn better. Moreover, it is important for a tutor to build their confidence. It is essential to build on the weak areas of a student. Additionally, a…

The most important thing is trust that both tutor and student should have on each other. An ease of asking questions and making mistakes is another very important thing. Its okay to make mistakes but if your student is afraid of you , they would never ask questions and will be afraid to make mistakes so the tutor will never be able to…

My main focus is to not just explain the content in a way they really understand the principles behind it and it would not just be memorising the content on the student's part. I also believe that connecting with the student can help the teaching learning process a lot. I am a very understanding person in general. So I am most of the time capable…

In my opinion, being a person that students are comfortable with to reach out for help is one of the most important things. A tutor should be there to assist them, not add stress or pressure to them. I also think it is important for tutors to motivate the students to learn, instead of just giving answers, and in motivating them, tutors should be…

I feel the strengths as a tutor are to help my students to set a high expectation, which motivates them to work towards that. Another strength would be to be honest and transparent with students about how to succeed. And as a tutor, it is our duty to make sure that students know you believe in them and want them to succeed. I'm a team player. I…

A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to put in time. They need to act as if it's not just a job which pays. Prepping lessons early, helping with questions outside of tutoring time, marking tests.

As a tutor, it is very important that the teacher becomes an inspiration to the student.

I think a tutor should be able to tell if their student understands something or not, often they don't say it outright and asking them directly might not get them to admit it. So by asking them to solve a question that indirectly uses the concept might help us figure out if they're having trouble or not. Students should also feel comfortable with…

In my opinion, I think that it is important to understand every student is different and has their way of learning.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to open a rapport that makes them feel safe and understood, an environment where they are not afraid to try and even not afraid to fail, in the knowledge that with help and direction they can try again and do better. With the acceptance that 1 style (or even 10 styles!) of teaching…

I think the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable asking questions. A tutor should focus on understanding where the student is getting stuck and help them build confidence, not just give answers. I'm patient and I don't rush students. If something doesn't click the first time, I'm happy to explain it again in a different way.…

Local Reviews

I switched to online-tutoring subsequent to my school's closure. At first, I truly didn't believe it could substitute for my regular in-person tutoring. After 3 weeks of online-tutoring, I am genuinely considering making the switch permanent! The virtual classroom is super quick to get the hang of and is overall really simple to use. I love the fact that the tutoring session can take place from practically anywhere (with WiFi); from my desk at home, from the library or even from my grandparents' house. Most importantly, the learning experience is essentially the same, or perhaps even better than in-person tutoring! I find online-tutoring to be highly engaging and interactive, leaving no room for distractions. Overall, very satisfied!

Inside UrrbraeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emma focused on indices and scientific notation, including reviewing her recent indices test and practicing calculator skills for complex calculations.

For Year 10, James tackled trigonometry concepts such as sine, cosine, and tangent, as well as worked through balancing chemical equations in chemistry using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia reviewed key macroeconomics content—covering the definition of an efficient market and exploring producer/consumer surplus and externalities—with practical application to current assignment questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Chemistry student hesitated when converting between units and struggled to link molar enthalpy with heat of reaction; as one tutor put it, "she needed extra time moving between formats."

In Year 10 Economics, an assignment was nearly forgotten—organization around deadlines remains a challenge.

For a Year 8 Maths student, confusion arose with mixed integers in addition and subtraction until quick reminders helped clarify the steps.

Meanwhile, another senior student avoided outlining responses until prompted, which led to stronger answers but showed that planning written work is still developing.

Missed or incomplete homework also appeared in several lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Urrbrae recently noticed a Year 10 student who had struggled with trigonometry start to apply sine and cosine rules independently to solve area problems, even after initially hesitating with application questions.

Meanwhile, a senior economics student showed real initiative by revising her assignment after teacher feedback—editing her work and successfully drafting a new introduction on her own, rather than waiting for step-by-step guidance.

In Year 7 maths, one student began openly asking about homework doubts instead of quietly skipping tricky problems; last session, he attempted all the complex questions set by the tutor without prompting.

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 Fullarton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Urrbrae Agricultural High School.
