Ancient History Tutor Canberra, ACT
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…

A tutor can instil the love of learning and academic achievement to a student. This is the MOST important things a tutor can do for a student as it will equip them for the 'real' world ahead where their capacity to think will be tested outside the academic environment. My strengths as a tutor are; My Professionalism, resourcefulness,…

I think to be dependable and reliable is the best thing for a student, so that they can feel safe with asking for help from their tutor. A student must first feel safe around their teacher so that they can more openly accept guidance and assistance. I consider myself a very friendly and approachable person. As someone who experienced academic…

I think that a tutor's job is more than teaching content; just as important is ensuring that the student remains engaged and feels comfortable and confident. A tutor should endeavour to make the content fun to learn and easier to understand, and most importantly the tutor should always encourage and support the student through any setbacks,…

I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do. Whether it is simply listening to troubles they are having with a class or with life, listening to the student is very important. 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.…

I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

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.

Inside YarralumlaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Kornel completed lessons on scientific notation and significant figures, as well as constructing and solving simple linear equations using worksheets.

In Year 10, Ruby focused on manipulating and graphing parabolas, followed by work on factorising and expanding quadratics.

For Year 11, Lucas spent recent sessions tackling arithmetic and geometric progressions—using both formulas and step-by-step practice—and then moved into exploring sums of geometric series in preparation for an upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived at lessons without key materials, such as a stock market worksheet needed for reference; as one tutor observed, "he said it was with his mum," making it difficult to build on previous work efficiently.

In Year 10 Maths, homework was often incomplete, leading to lesson time being used for revision of concepts like algebraic manipulation that should have been consolidated independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to attempt unfamiliar questions out of fear of mistakes, sometimes skipping items or waiting for help instead of giving them a go—progress stalled until confidence was rebuilt through guided practice.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Yarralumla noticed a big shift with one Year 9 student who, after previously being hesitant to ask for help, has started openly pointing out confusion during algebra lessons—this change means tricky topics now get sorted much faster.

In a recent high school session, another student surprised himself by constructing equations independently from worded problems, something he'd avoided before because he found it overwhelming.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner used visual techniques to tackle time zones and finished the lesson confidently reading both times aloud.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yarralumla Primary School.
