The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not only boost their confidence in a subject, but also their enthusiasm for the subject. Giving students who are bored with the content as they find it too easy more difficult problems peaks their interest, as I have seen in the past. Students who are struggling and as a result lose interest…

As I said before, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is first of all get them excited about education or going to school or a specific subject, whatever their situation may be, as well as give them the tools, independence and knowledge to be able to achieve what they want out of school. I believe I am well-versed in a wide…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

Inside DeakinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, as well as applying scientific notation and significant figures in worksheet problems.

In Year 10, Mia focused on factorising and expanding quadratic expressions and practiced graphing parabolas to understand their features visually.

For a Year 12 session, Lucas revised implicit differentiation techniques alongside kinematics applications, and continued preparation for his upcoming mathematics exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived at lessons without completed homework or the necessary worksheets, leading to time spent revisiting last week's concepts instead of progressing—one tutor noted, "I asked him to bring out the stock market sheet and he said it was with his mum."

In Year 10, a pattern emerged where note-taking during sessions was so slow that only half the planned content could be covered.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student struggled with organizing revision materials, which meant previous errors on latent heat questions went unaddressed.

These process gaps led to lesson time being diverted from new learning to repeated reviews and searching for misplaced resources.

Recent Achievements

A Deakin tutor noticed one high school student who, after previously relying on hints for equation rearrangement, now independently checks her work and corrects small errors without prompting.

Another win came from a Year 10 student who used to guess through surface area problems but recently broke down composite shapes into simpler parts with much more confidence and accuracy.

In a younger session, a primary-aged learner shifted from quietly working alone to asking the tutor for help when stuck—something he'd hesitated to do in earlier lessons—then read out his solution step-by-step.

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 Canberra Girls Grammar School - Junior School.
