- In addition to academic support, it is important to recognise that students often encounter personal challenges that can impact their studies. I firmly believe that extracurricular interests and hobbies should enhance their lives rather than feel burdensome. Therefore, I think it is important to work collaboratively with students to help them…

I believe that the one of the most important things a tutor can do is to help a student truly realise their academic potential, especially since the needs of one student may be overlooked in a classroom setting. It is also important, however, to help inspire confidence in the subject, and hopefully a passion, so that they continue to succeed…

Listening to their needs and their struggles is vital to finding a way for them to enjoy school and the subject. You need to be able to push the student but in a way that helps them to achieve something they're proud of. Pushing them for results is usually only going to increase their frustration and dislike for school/learning. Tutors are in a…

However, as well as this, a really good tutor can instil a genuine love of a given subject. This will also greatly assist in improving the student's performance. Thus the most important thing a tutor can do is…

Inside FisherTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Christian focused on mastering long division and practiced applying function notation to simple algebra problems.

For Year 9, Sophia tackled quadratic equations without a calculator and worked through finding the equation of a parabola given three points using simultaneous equations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Christian concentrated on trigonometry, specifically using sine rules for general triangles and solving right-angled triangle problems involving unknown sides and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly arrived without their maths notes, making it difficult to refer back to previous work or clarify points in sessions; as a tutor noted, "No book again today. First part of problem was done in class and the original copy of this work was unavailable."

In Year 8 algebra, another student struggled with keeping their written solutions tidy and consistent—when steps weren't spaced out clearly, errors crept in during multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student hesitated to answer questions without immediate approval, which slowed her progress on number line tasks and made independent practice harder.

Recent Achievements

A Fisher tutor recently noticed a high school student who'd struggled with algebra now confidently talks through problems out loud and asks clarifying questions, instead of staying quiet when stuck.

Another high schooler made a clear leap in narrative writing—his paragraphs are more focused on the story's theme, and he's begun using emotive language effectively after previously writing quite flatly.

In primary sessions, one Year 4 student who used to hesitate with multiplication now solves these problems quickly and even explains her steps 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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Stromlo High School.
