A tutor can change a student's life in ways more than one. She can help them find their confidence. She can, also, help them believe in themselves and encourage them to ask questions they have been scared to ask in their classes. A tutor can help a student overcome their fears and help them improve. Apart from helping the students achieve their…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is instill confidence in their students so they can tackle problems they were previously unfimiliar with on their own, as well as perform in high stress environments, such as tests. The best way to do this in my opinion is to go through practice problems with the students untill they fully…

A tutor most importantly needs to understand the areas that the students need improvement. Considering their ability to grasp new concepts and learning styles, a tutor will have to design their teaching methods to suit a particular student. Lastly, a tutor should always encourage their students which will help them gain the confidence to try new…

I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic. Once this happens the student will grow a love for the subject, leading them to career paths regarding this subject. This will more importantly grow a work ethic for…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career.

We are very happy with the tutoring and our tutor is very good with my children. They are really enjoying it and this speaks volumes as they were both very opposed to the idea!

Inside BardonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Oskar worked on algebra and number patterns using his Year 5 Maths Resource book, with extra practice set for homework.

A Year 7 student used real-world Kokoda Challenge event data to calculate average speeds between checkpoints, applying rate and time calculations in a practical context.

For a Year 10 student, recent lessons included probability concepts, normal distribution curves, and an introduction to derivatives and exponential distributions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 algebra, skipping the habit of back-checking led to "a few minor errors which checking could easily fix," especially when fractions were involved.

A Year 11 student tackling derivatives sometimes began new questions before finishing previous ones, causing confusion and unfinished working.

In upper primary, homework in multiplication was occasionally left incomplete or not attempted with pencil and paper, despite reminders.

For a Year 8 word problem set, rushing to answer before fully understanding the question resulted in misinterpreted tasks; as one tutor observed, "he needs to work on fully understanding what a question is asking before attempting it."

Recent Achievements

One Bardon tutor noted a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess through division questions now talks aloud while working, and has started double-checking answers with pencil and paper—something he'd never done before.

In Year 8 maths, another student who often avoided larger worded problems has begun breaking them into steps using new strategies, showing clear independence in tackling multi-part questions.

A Year 4 learner, previously hesitant with subtraction, now solves bigger addition and subtraction tasks out loud, explaining her thinking as she works. Last week she completed her homework without any reminders or prompts.

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 Ashgrove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's School.
