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…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it. Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is listen. Listen to their problem, why they may not understand a concept, and then help to solve the problem together. I think that having fun, is also very important. One of my main goals aside from helping a student understand the content, is to help the student enjoy the…

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. Being a tutor is like being their (students) second parent. So I can assure 100% guidance towards their study plan. Help them in…

The most important thing to me is the ability of a tutor to care for and listen to a student. The needs of a students is usually known by the student and is always important to not assume what the student needs but pay attention and listen to them. My strengths include being patient and altering my teaching style to suit the learning style of a…

I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise.

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 believe I am well-versed in a wide…

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 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…

Empathise: A tutor should provide encouragement, build confidence, and create a safe space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

A tutor's job is to make learning fun for a student. There are many instances where a student may be discouraged from learning a specific subject due to its difficulty level.

Inside HughesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, along with applying scientific notation and significant figures using worksheets.

In Year 10, Maya practiced factorising and expanding quadratic expressions, then moved on to graphing and manipulating parabolas with step-by-step visual examples.

For senior high school, Ethan (Year 11) focused on trigonometric identities through targeted exercises, followed by deeper work on trig functions and the unit circle for exam readiness.

Recent Challenges

Time management challenges in maths exams for a Year 10 student resulted in lingering too long on difficult questions, leaving less time for others. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions she felt less confident in."

In Year 8 algebra sessions, a reluctance to write out all working steps led to errors in squaring within brackets that went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 5 learner, forgetting homework was frequent, causing repeated coverage of past concepts instead of progressing to new material.

A Year 3 student regularly waited for approval before answering, making her hesitant to attempt questions independently.

Recent Achievements

One Hughes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with graphing trig functions last term now drawing accurate graphs with minimal help and explaining their steps.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification started openly voicing questions about quadratic translations, leading her to solve new problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to rely on counting fingers completed timed addition tasks independently and even corrected earlier mistakes on their own during the lesson, showing real initiative.

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 Hughes Primary School.
