Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

Psychology Tutor Reid, ACT
The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Whitlam, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Psychology Tutor Bruce, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

Psychology Tutor Lawson, ACT
It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

We had a positive experience with Emma and believe my daughter would not have got the results she did without Emma's assistance.

Inside Capital HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Emma focused on surface area and trigonometry problem solving, using diagrams to help with visualising the questions.

Year 10 student Josh worked through test revision on indices and rules for exponents as well as tackling practice problems involving logarithms.

For Year 11, Olivia concentrated on financial maths by preparing for a simple and compound interest exam, then completed targeted exercises related to lump sum payments on mortgages.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, a student often skipped writing out steps when rearranging equations—"he jumped straight to the answer but missed key sign changes," noted one tutor, leading to confusion when reviewing errors.

In Year 11 calculus, there was hesitation starting new problems without prompts; confidence flagged unless guided through initial steps.

A Year 10 student's folio work was sometimes hard to follow due to unclear layout, making it tough for both them and their marker to track reasoning.

Meanwhile, in physics (Year 12), forgetting calculators or not using them efficiently meant extra time spent on manual calculations rather than focusing on deeper concepts.

Recent Achievements

In Capital Hill, a Year 11 student, Eliza, is now reliably spotting her own mistakes while rearranging equations—something she struggled with earlier in the term.

In another session, high school student Ajay showed real initiative by asking clarifying questions when tackling derivatives, rather than working quietly through confusion as before.

For younger student Luci (Year 6), there's been a positive shift: she now lets the tutor know right away if an explanation isn't clear, instead of staying silent and guessing.

Last week, Eliza finished her assignment sheet start-to-finish without needing reminders.

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 Forrest Primary School.
