I aim to instil students with effective learning strategies. People aren’t taught how to effectively learn and study, and often they can feel lost. I firmly believe that understanding the best learning approach for oneself is just as important as understanding the schoolwork. I pride myself on being patient - I understand that everyone learns…

Engage them in group communication and exercises. I can reach out to my students in every aspect for better understanding as well as their grades. They…

Personally, I consider an english tutor's consistent motivation and encouragement to be the most important thing that can be done for a student. Of course, teaching students their material is a priority - but to keep them engaged and focused on their end goals, a tutor must always motivate and encourage their student through all the ups and downs.…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

A tutor can bring in enjoyment into students even when they study. Most of the students don't enjoy study time the main reason being they don't understand certain concepts and find it hard. But an english tutor can explain that to students in a way they understand bring in interest thereby the enjoyment factor into it. I have great patience, good…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to help them find their own way to learn and overcome their difficulties. Having just graduated from school I am up to date with the current curriculum and education system, still have access to some year 12 textbooks and am dedicated to the field of education. Furthermore I am a…

A tutor’s role and objective is multi-faceted, I would consider the most important thing that an english tutor can do for their student is not only to reinforce and develop their knowledge and competency of a subject and help them academically, but also help foster in that student a confidence in themselves and a genuine interest in learning. I…

It's important to be understanding, to listen to what a student (or parent) wants to get out of tutoring, and to focus on the student's goals. It's also important to be clear in your teaching, and to come up with creative and interesting ways to teach each student, as every student is different. I have a very enthusiastic and positive approach to…

Inside AlkimosTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily practised telling the time on both analogue and digital clock faces and worked through division word problems to build her problem-solving skills.

In Year 7, Liam focused on combining like terms in algebra and used number lines to understand operating with fractions.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ava tackled linear equations alongside ratios, using practice quizzes and step-by-step examples to reinforce each method.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, one student preferred to solve problems mentally rather than writing steps out, which made it harder to spot errors—"sometimes Aidan does all his working in his head."

In a Year 10 algebra lesson, forgetting to include negative signs led to repeated corrections before reaching the right answer.

Across several primary sessions, missed or misplaced homework slowed progress; for example, "Izzy had lost her whiteboard homework."

During a Year 9 English task, hesitation over editing choices resulted in unnecessary changes and reduced clarity.

Skipping opening goal-setting meant less focus during some lessons, leading to restlessness and slower work.

Recent Achievements

One Alkimos tutor noted Seth's shift to confidently speaking up and asking questions when unsure—he now leaves mistakes visible in his work so he can track growth over time.

Caitlin, a high school student, recently tackled algebra homework she'd found confusing the week before; this session, she explained her working independently and combined like terms with little prompting.

In another win for older students, Dina has begun editing her own writing drafts after struggling to make revisions in past sessions; last lesson, she added her own ending to a story and corrected errors without help.

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 Clarkson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St James' Anglican School.
