Biology Tutor Cook, 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…

As a tutor, it is important to ensure that your student is proficient in their understanding of the subjects you are teaching. Of equal importance is motivating and facilitating a students learning so that they are more confident in their own ability to learn. Lastly, I think it is very important to build a strong personal relation with the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for student is to create an environment in which they feel supported and welcomed. It is key to achieving results that you build a strong rapport with your student. If they feel judged by you and thus do not ask the questions they need to ask, it can stagnate their progress and damage their…

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

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…

I see students as a clay model, which consists of different minerals and when it is subjected to appropriate pressure and temperature together with proper guidance and methods, it converts into a masterpiece ceramic.

Inside GiralangTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam worked on converting measurements between units like metres and litres, then practiced algebra skills such as using pronumerals and indices.

In Year 9, Angus revised factorising quadratic equations with the sum-product method and began solving quadratics using both substitution and elimination techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Atiana focused on exponential and logarithmic functions, including graphing these functions to deepen her understanding of their properties.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion has been an ongoing issue for a Year 6 student; recent notes repeatedly highlight that work is not being submitted, which is starting to impact retention of maths and English skills.

In a senior secondary setting, one Year 11 student was observed "rushing through" trigonometry test questions—leading to repeated careless errors that would have been caught with slower, more methodical checking.

Another high school student hesitated to write down algebra steps, jumping straight to answers but struggling to explain reasoning when asked. This left gaps in working that made reviewing mistakes harder during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Giralang recently saw a Year 10 student move from struggling with non-monic quadratics to confidently factorising them after some patient review, even building a personalised cheat sheet for revision.

Another high schooler, who used to rush through algebra questions and miss steps, is now back-checking each solution and catching small mistakes on her own—something she rarely did before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has begun using the "thinking aloud" technique while tackling tricky geometry problems, which helped her independently spot where she'd made an error and correct it 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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Giralang Primary School.
