Listening to their needs and their struggles is vital to finding a way for them to enjoy school and the subject. You need to be able to push the student but in a way that helps them to achieve something they're proud of. Pushing them for results is usually only going to increase their frustration and dislike for school/learning. Tutors are in a…

A tutor , according to me should be available to the student at all times. They have to respond to the student's enquiries without much lag. Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments. I have had students giving me feedback like I am really patient in clarifying the concepts.…

A tutor, first and foremost, must ensure that a student is improving their grades, that is why people look for tutors in the first place. However, as well as this, a really good tutor can instil a genuine love of a given subject. This will also greatly assist in improving the student's performance. Thus the most important thing a tutor can do is…

The best thing a tutor can do is lay a foundation so strong that the student understands it very well and never giving up on them. It is to understand that every student is special. I am patient and easygoing person and I think I can handle a number of students simultaneously. Moreover, my experience in tutoring students and also studying at the…

Tutors are useful in the way that if a student didn’t understand how something was explained in class, we can offer different and more in depth explanations to help them achieve this understanding. Ensuring a student feels comfortable enough to ask questions is the most important thing a tutor can do in my opinion. That I am supportive, positive…

I am very understanding and patient. As a child who came to…

I see no student a failure, and I will take their failure as my own. The most quintessential thing any tutor can do is adapt to the student's way of thinking and guide them to success. When you help others, you grow in the process. There is no important thing a tutor can do for a student apart from working on themselves to aid the student better…

Helping students understand the importance of learning is the main key. Students need to learn the importance of an educational journey.

I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do.

As someone who has studied a wide range of topics throughout high school and college, I feel like I have a wide range of expertise.…

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…

A tutor can help the student overcome the fear of not asking questions as there are no "dumb" questions. A tutor can also guide the student to understand the way of studying efficiently by themselves. A tutor should also motivate the students and serve as a guiding light to their students in studies and for the future. I have high interpersonal…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to help them learn whatever they want to learn, even if they have a lot of difficulty understanding it. The first and most important thing would be the fact that I myself was a school student not long ago, and am a university student still, so I would understand what my…

As said earlier, a tutor is not someone with a "rat-race" kind of approach to learning with zero engaging feats. The most important thing is being keen on motivation. Since I plan teaching students from a primary to higher level each level would require motivation in a very different way. For e.g. engaging primary level students with a minor…

A tutor can make a student love the subject he/she hates. The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, his/her interests, aptitude, and what he/she is inclined towards. If you have a basic idea of the student mindset you can develop techniques to make them understand the subject in a way they don't find it hard. Gamification…

As a tutor, I believe my…

Local Reviews

We recently started tuition with Edison, and I couldn't be happier with how things are going. Edison has been making a big difference, not just in terms of Math skills, but in my son's motivation and confidence. They've built a great rapport and Edison has been showing his solid background in the subject, but more importantly, he is demonstrating a natural ability to make learning feel approachable and enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who not only knows Maths but also knows how to connect with a student, Edison is an absolute gem. We're very happy we found him!

Inside WrightTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Sam focused on revising long division and practising the addition and subtraction of fractions, also touching on converting decimals to percentages using number line activities.

Year 10 Vamsi worked through probability concepts such as sample space and independence, then applied skills in interpreting exam results and tackling binomial distribution problems with guided exercises.

For Year 11 Alan, lessons concentrated on mastering calculus topics including the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule for derivatives, and applying these to find stationary points using past exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

When facing lengthy calculus problems, a Year 11 student often skipped steps and panicked over multiple formulas—"he jumped ahead or missed symbols in derivatives," a tutor observed.

In exams, another senior student left questions blank and struggled to manage time effectively, losing marks not for lack of knowledge but from incomplete answers.

A Year 7 learner sometimes misread instructions in algebra or didn't fully answer long division questions.

For one Year 4 writer, spelling errors persisted despite good ideas; the challenge lay in not checking work thoroughly before moving on. This led to frustration when reviewing results.

Recent Achievements

A Wright tutor noticed one high school student who used to skip over tough calculus questions is now listing all relevant formulas and breaking down each step before answering—he even spotted his own mistakes from a recent exam, which he hadn't done previously.

Another Year 10 student, after struggling with polyatomic ions in chemistry, now quickly identifies their charges and completes equation balancing tasks at a faster pace than before.

Meanwhile, in primary years, Sam has moved from confusion about long division to scoring 97% on multiplication quizzes and independently working through BODMAS calculations without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We've only had 2 sessions so far but Deanna is already going really well. The girls are starting to get some benefit.

Tutoring is going well. Sienna has only seen Thomas twice but so far so good! Very happy with Thomas and so is Sienna!

Nishtha is fantastic, she is very patient and has a deep calming effect on Cole which has been excellent for his confidence.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charles Weston School.
