One of the most important things a tutor can do is tailor their approach to the student’s needs. Their learning method, their stuggles and strengths. A tutor should help develop the student's study skills, and be able to provide specific and constructive feedback. Patience and flexibility are key qualities to have because it will empower…

I believe, more than anything else, that a tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and trusting…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students. This way…

The single most important aspect for a tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off. I believe…

One of the foremost things a tutor can do for a student is to develop their interest in something which they have disliked or taken for granted. Another thing a tutor can do is to help them not only with their grades, but also with guiding them towards their goals and be a mentor that would inspire them to be the best of themselves. I can be…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to motivate them and make them laugh, to be a buddy who happens to be helping them with their school work, to acknowledge them with current, expand their grasp of the concepts and can be a influence in some tangible, positive way, helping them make essential connections, or developing…

The most important things a tutor can do are to show the students the ropes, and help them when needed but not do it all for them. The role of a tutor is ultimately to support and aid the student's learning journey, not to dominate it, which would lead to the student not being able to actually learn anything. My strengths as a tutor lie in my…

Inside Mount DuneedTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Krisztian focused on multiplying and dividing fractions as well as converting between simple and complex fractions using times tables.

Year 8 student Sam worked through ratios and rates, including comparing ratios and understanding gradient, along with applying index laws to simplify expressions.

For Year 10, Emily practiced solving linear equations and explored finding x-intercepts for quadratics by factoring and using the quadratic formula.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4, one student often avoided writing out working in fraction and multiplication problems, instead guessing answers when unsure—"he gets frustrated for not knowing it so blurts out a guess," as noted. This led to confusion mid-question and made it difficult to spot where thinking went off track.

In Year 10 algebra, untidy layout meant numbers like '9' resembled a 'y', causing mix-ups during graphing tasks and making it hard to follow steps ("organisation and handwriting...hard to tell the difference"). In both cases, unclear written work slowed progress and left errors hidden until the very end.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Duneed noticed one Year 8 student has started correcting their own working steps, a real shift from earlier sessions where they'd just wait for the answer.

In Year 10, another student who struggled with trig equations last term is now able to use both sine and cosine rules accurately during problem sets—they completed a set unprompted.

Meanwhile, a younger student surprised themselves by finishing all problems independently after previously needing lots of encouragement just to start.

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 Grovedale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Duneed Regional Primary School.
