A tutor influences a student in many ways. He or she contributes a lot to the personality of a student. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to build confidence. And I believe confidence is something that is essential throughout a persons life. It's the confidence that makes one believe that they could do things…

Science Tutor Garran, ACT
Through my time at university, I have found the ability to be patient is what separates my current tutors apart. A willingness to stop and answer questions, that some may be too scared to ask, has certainly improved my learning opportunities. The notion of ‘no stupid questions’ in my Power Electronics course this semester has been a great…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to create a comfortable environment where they feel safe asking any question, no matter how small, and to make learning an enjoyable experience. It’s also essential to build their confidence by helping them understand their strengths and develop the skills they need to succeed.…

Structure what needs to be taught in a way that is personalised to the strengths of the student. There isn't a one size fits all way of teaching, so i believe the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is learn their strengths and how they learn best, and then adjust the topic in a way that helps them learn in an easier way.

Inside GowrieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on mastering boxplots and scatter plots, as well as working through a range of algebraic inequalities.

For Year 10, Ethan practiced solving quadratic equations both by factorising and using the quadratic formula, along with sketching related graphs to interpret solutions visually.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam worked on simultaneous equations using substitution methods and reinforced his skills in expanding and factorising binomials through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, a student arrived without having completed any extra exam revision since the last session; as one tutor observed, "we need to work on building independent study as a habit."

Another Year 9 student frequently came unprepared, unable to identify which topics needed review before tutoring began.

In Year 7 mathematics, homework was often left incomplete or done incorrectly at home but finished correctly when supported in person—suggesting a gap in independent application.

For a primary student, distractions and talking led to lost focus during lessons, with simple arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction sometimes confused as a result.

Recent Achievements

One Gowrie tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to exam prep—after struggling with revision strategies, he started writing key problem-solving steps on cards during sessions and referred back to them unprompted, helping him tackle practice questions more independently.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to hesitate when something didn't make sense is now confidently letting the tutor know exactly where she needs help instead of staying silent.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who previously counted on fingers surprised his tutor by solving addition problems quickly without needing any physical aids or reminders.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gowrie Primary School.
