I believe that a tutor should be able to help the student both grow as a person and mentally with their learning. In a hindsight, a tutor is someone they can trust and rely on with regards to getting help for homework, learning new concepts, and getting advice regarding exam and assessment task preparations. So as such, if the tutor can enable a…

I am passionate about instilling confidence in students to remove the hesitation of learning but rather build a love for the subject. The tutor must…

This makes the most out of their time and also helps to make them more confident in their studies, which also builds trust between the student and tutor which is key to making them…

I believe forming a mentor-mentee connection with the student is important in their learning experience as this enhances their motivation to learn and come to class every week. Also, I believe just being there for a student no matter what day or what time it is, is very important. As a fresh graduate myself, I know how stressful it can be…

By doing so the tutor should aim to tailor each lesson accordingly. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my perseverance, clarity when explaining concepts, the ability to identify a…

Teaching this skill to students to then carry onto into their careers and personal lives is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to believe in their potential for academic success.

Additionally, building strong connections with students through active engagement is crucial, as these relationships…

It went extremely well and Hugh was very happy with Jonathon and his teaching.

Inside HeckenbergTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ariana worked through index notation and square roots, focusing on the relationship between powers of two and square roots as well as solving equations involving these concepts, plus time conversion between hours and minutes in decimal form.

For Year 8, Josh practiced squaring numbers and finding square roots while also simplifying fractions and converting between hours and minutes.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Zara focused on long division by understanding terminology and process, alongside building habits like neatness in her maths book.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Mathematics, one student's written working was often unclear—long division steps were done mentally or skipped, making it difficult for her teacher to follow. As noted: "her answer is correct but her working out is confusing and may not be accepted by her classroom teacher."

Exam revision showed lost notes on angles led to confusion and incomplete answers.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly left homework unfinished before lessons and struggled with times tables, slowing progress in division.

In English (upper primary), avoidance of reading tasks due to dislike meant key vocabulary wasn't reinforced, so comprehension questions remained challenging.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Heckenberg noticed Ariana now tackles long division questions on her own after previously needing reassurance and step-by-step help. She recently completed homework with zero mistakes and even chose to do extra problems independently.

Another high school student moved up to higher-level maths after excelling in his recent assessment; he maintained strong performance at the advanced level, showing real growth from earlier struggles.

In a primary session, Arabella overcame hesitation with rounding numbers—at first unsure, she worked through corrections and ended up getting every question right without support.

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 Miller Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Heckenberg Public School.
