The most important thing that a tutor can do is ensure that a student learns and doesn't hate a subject. I understand that grades are equally important my ensuring that the knowledge has reached the student is even more so important. Therefore, as a tutor I will ensure that the lessons are fun and exciting leaving the students more eager to…

Being able to be a good friend of the student is also a rare quality every tutor should possess. I have 5+ years of experience tutoring students from various background. My good…

That is important because it is building the bigger picture of each subject in the long term. I am flexible in my teaching method, and I am able to adjust to each student depending on what they…

The most important thing a tutor can do to a student is make student believe that student can learn and reach proper solution. Every one has the potential to learn things so, once a student starts believing in himself/herself studying starts to become fun. I as a tutor hardly give up on my students. I can only be satisfied and feel peaceful once I…

Build interest. For younger student, most of them are still trying to find their interest in a certain field. The best thing I can do is to build interest with my humorous skill. Interest can lead students to an automatic learning mode, they will intake the related knowledge and digest them by themselves, and have the ability to do self-study,…

The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance. For this reason, I believe the most important component of tutoring is not working through content, but reflecting and future planning to ensure the student believes they have the skills…

I believe support and encouragement are the most important elements that me as a tutor can help my students.

Some other students may experience difficulties in study (do not get a good result), so…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

Thus, tailoring your approach to meet the specific needs of the students by providing a variety of learning tools and strategies is key. Additionally, being able to be their support system and create an environment for them where they…

- A tutor can change their way of thinking towards some subjects. For instance, during their school class, they might think the subject is boring. But if tutor, teach them in a way to make it more fun and interesting then they like and start to grasp the knowledge quickly. - So the tutor can change their perception and eventually guide them to…

The number one most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make sure that the student builds a strong understanding of the content.

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.
Michelle Evans, Colonel Light Gardens

Inside Colonel Light GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ava practised subtraction up to two digits without exchanging and strengthened her recall of number facts to 20 using quick games.

Year 6 student Charlie worked on converting fractions to decimals and compared, ordered, and placed them on number lines for visual understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ella focused on revising the four laws of indices with examples and tackled NAPLAN-style practice questions targeting multiplication strategies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to access homework reliably on OneNote via iPad, leading to incomplete tasks ("accessing homework from OneNote on iPad").

In a Year 8 maths session, overuse of the eraser showed avoidance of visible mistakes: "Does not like to make mistakes—uses eraser although being told that we learn from mistakes."

At the senior level, messy written work in cursive versus print hindered clarity for one student.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's lack of focus after a school event meant times tables recall faltered and revision suffered.

Recent Achievements

One Colonel Light Gardens tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebraic equations—now, she's recalling BEDMAS rules and solving problems with parentheses on her own.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who was previously hesitant about worded maths problems tackled several independently after learning to pick out only the relevant facts from each question.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 started verbalising his thinking when continuing number patterns, something he'd avoided before; by the end of the lesson, he was confidently explaining his reasoning aloud without prompting.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Colonel Light Gardens Primary School.
