In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for students is making sure that the student completely understands the concept and does not try to rote learn it. I believe that a tutor is a person who can change the point of view of a student through which they can grasp the concept well and improves their understanding ability. I own…

I think it's important for tutors to make sure students understand the concepts, both old and new. A deep understanding in core old concepts is essential in learning new ideas. Having spent 4+ years working at Kumon Education Centre, I have developed various skills in helping students of all ages learn and improve their confidence at school. I…

Besides grades, I would say that a tutor is also essentially teaching the student life skills such as responsibility and perseverance. I had this unmotivated student. He wouldn't complete the homework that I had given him and often fell asleep in class. I started to find out the reason behind his behavior and I used it to my advantage, Over…

I believe there are several things a tutor can deliver to her students, the primary of which is to instill a sense of confidence and can-do attitude among them. This means my role will not only limit to a tutor but also a mentor, guiding my students on multiple aspects of their academic path. As a seasoned tutor and teacher of English, I'd say my…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can lead the…

I think that a tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning techiques i.e.…

I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a tutor's action, as it is the…

Inside Craigburn FarmTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver worked on building confidence with multiplication and division facts, as well as practising real-life time problems using visual aids.

In Year 10, Emily focused on drawing derivatives given the original function and explored key principles in circular motion and gravitation.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Josh tackled applications of integration to solve physics-based magnetic induction questions, working through multi-step problems for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student, when working on proof questions in maths, hesitated to start without clear strategies and sometimes avoided writing out the first steps—this led to confusion about what equations were needed.

In senior physics, a Year 12 student hadn't completed enough independent revision between sessions; "Hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done," noted one tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with retaining time and currency conversions from week to week, which slowed progress during new tasks.

Each case showed that gaps in process—rather than understanding—held them back at key moments.

Recent Achievements

One Craigburn Farm tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously avoided revision now dedicating extra time each week to exam prep, leading to much clearer understanding of equations and how to interpret them.

A Year 11 learner made real strides with magnetic induction—after struggling initially, he was able to explain the concept back in his own words by the end of the session.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student shifted from silently solving maths problems to enthusiastically sharing her strategies out loud, showing new openness and engagement she hadn't displayed before.

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 Blackwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Concordia College (St Peters Campus, Blackwood).
