The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student. All students have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is the responsibility of the tutor to understand their student as an individual in order to tutor in a way that is the most effective for a student to improve. For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

To ensure that the student understands everything fully. That is what a tutor is for, and no concept or idea should be left unturned. Everything should be thoroughly explored until full understanding has been achieved. I am an extremely patient person who will spend as long as required to explain a concept or idea. I also use down-to-earth…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through. Often as a tutor you must recognise that students who get tutoring need further help than what is being given and may have academic insecurity, so it is our role to help them improve on this and gain confidence in their learning, with hopes that…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is boost a students confidence and connect with them. Throughout my education I have found that confidence is they key to being happy and boosting marks in a subject. Finding a connection with a student in a particular subject and fostering their joy in it is key to making long-term progress.…

It is important for a tutor to really believe in their student, and do all they can to help them excel. I believe I have excellent communication skills as I am able to adapt to each…

Inside GriffithTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ari focused on statistics, including constructing and interpreting box-and-whisker plots and identifying outliers in data sets, as well as exploring pie graphs and describing theoretical probability.

Year 8 student Muhammad worked on English assignments such as reading comprehension for "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas," completing vocabulary crosswords, and developing a crime fiction podcast by drafting character profiles and editing narrative structure.

For Year 3, Josh completed an English assessment covering basic reading skills and a mini NAPLAN math test to gauge arithmetic understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, one student did not complete the assigned homework and felt uncertain about the writing task, only attempting a single paragraph; as noted, "he felt bad as he did not quite get the task."

For a Year 8 History compare-and-contrast response, another struggled with time management and making concise points, leading to repeated ideas instead of clarity.

In senior English (Year 12), an essay draft was withheld after a last-minute format change, possibly due to reluctance or deadline pressure.

A Year 7 maths learner repeatedly omitted working steps when solving equations—errors went unnoticed until probed aloud.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Griffith recently saw a Year 11 student move from feeling overwhelmed by graphic linear equations to confidently working through them step-by-step, even asking for more practice questions to prepare for his exam.

In another high school session, a Year 9 student who used to rush essays without structure now stops to plan his thesis and topic sentences first—he sent his revised outline by email and asked for feedback before submitting.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 5, who often hesitated to share ideas aloud, took the lead during reading time by predicting story outcomes and explaining his reasoning.

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 St Edmund's College Canberra.
