English Tutor Kaleen, ACT
The most important thing I can do for a student is fill in the gaps that the teacher can't. Teachers aren't able to modify the way they teach for every individual student, as a tutor I can do that. I am good at helping people understand concepts that are difficult to understand. I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other people.…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

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…

The most important things for a tutor to do for a student is ensure their confidence stems from understanding not just knowing the answer to a question but instead the theory behind it.

Inside CookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Olivia worked on mastering the 4 and 5 times tables, using card games to make practice engaging.

Year 9 student Ethan focused on solving simultaneous equations and explored break-even analysis with real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie revised the laws of indices and practiced converting between surds and rationalized denominators for greater fluency in algebraic manipulation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, a student often relied on visual flashcards for multiplication facts, recalling answers quickly with these aids but hesitating during oral drills—"she performs very well, almost instantly, when we use them, whereas…purely oral exercises…it is a bit harder." This reliance slowed her independent recall in times tables.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student left multiple chapters of homework incomplete (e.g., "Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions") and struggled to stay organized with revision materials.

For a senior Methods student, incomplete note-taking across chapters led to difficulty revisiting key differentiation techniques before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Cook tutor recently noticed a Year 6 student, Evie, moving from relying on her fingers for basic math to confidently using flashcards and answering all the 6 times table questions without hesitation—a big shift from earlier sessions when number patterns were confusing.

In high school maths, one Year 9 student who previously needed help with indices now independently answered every question on index laws correctly during their last session.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who tended to rush through problems started double-checking their answers before moving on, catching two small errors themselves in their latest session.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's Primary School.
