I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive to a…

The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance. For this reason, I believe the most important component of tutoring is not working through content, but reflecting and future planning to ensure the student believes they have the skills…

1. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them become more confident with themselves about their ability to achieve the grade they want in the subject they want.

The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student.

Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten. The tutor should also be an aid to the parents to ensure they are happy with progress. Overall,…

The most important thing for a tutor is to be actively listening; a tutor should respond to the student since tutoring differs from general teaching by way of individuality.

since the goal of a tutor is to teach the student I believe that the most important things tutors can do for students Is teach the underlying concept as well as the method to solving a problem, this allows the student to apply what they have learnt in different circumstances if the same underlying concept is used. I have excellent problem solving…

Local Reviews

We and our son Charlie, are very happy with Griffith’s tutoring.

Inside IronbankTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Mia worked through **fractions** and practiced both division and multiplication, with real-world currency examples to strengthen understanding.

In Year 11, Ethan focused on **trigonometric equations** and explored applications within circular geometry using step-by-step diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah tackled **integration techniques** and investigated how particles move in magnetic fields as part of her advanced physics studies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student hadn't completed enough revision between sessions, which meant when it came time for his physics and maths tests, he was less confident choosing the right equations ("Hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done…").

In Year 9, a student understood new algebra concepts during lessons but struggled with homework independently—this gap showed up especially when facing unfamiliar problem types at home.

A primary student repeatedly mixed up cents and dollars in money questions; even after practice, these small misunderstandings lingered into weekly homework.

Recent Achievements

One Ironbank tutor noticed a Year 9 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, started openly explaining how she solved maths problems aloud rather than working quietly in her head.

In Year 11 physics, a student showed real initiative by increasing his own revision time before upcoming tests—he arrived with self-made notes and could clearly outline where he needed more practice.

Meanwhile, a primary student who'd previously guessed at division questions is now pausing to use the correct steps and finished all ten problems without errors for the first time.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scott Creek Primary School.
