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 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 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 Canberra, 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 Wanniassa, ACT
Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

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…

Inside CurtinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Amy worked on graphing and manipulating parabolas, focusing on how changes to the equation affect the shape and position of the graph.

For Year 10, Daniel practised factorising and expanding quadratics, building confidence by working through examples step-by-step.

In senior secondary, Year 11 student Sarah explored trigonometric identities with targeted exercises and began applying these concepts using diagrams to reinforce understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly relied on a calculator for basic multiplication and squares, slowing progress in timed test settings—"required calculator for simple multiplying (x3 etc.)," as noted.

In Year 11 exam revision, one student focused heavily on questions she felt less confident about, spending too long and missing easier marks elsewhere.

For a Year 9 assessment draft, procrastination led to last-minute work and difficulty meeting deadlines.

Meanwhile, a primary-level learner skipped showing steps when squaring brackets in algebra; this hid sign errors until marking time.

During exams, another senior student struggled with pacing, leaving parts unfinished.

Recent Achievements

A Year 10 student, who previously struggled to move beyond copying solutions, has started creating his own additional questions and modifying textbook examples—this shift has helped him boost his exam mark from 50% to 71%.

In a senior session, another high schooler set a goal to improve from a C to a B grade and took the initiative to draft a personalised study planner, now prioritising media and science assessments on his own.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student began voluntarily opening her maths book between sessions and investigating calculator functions independently.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Trinity Primary School.
