Psychology Tutor Reid, ACT
The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Reid, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
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…

Psychology Tutor Fadden, ACT
Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

Psychology Tutor
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…

I can't express how awesome Peter was, keeping stress levels down, keeping focus and really drilling down in problem areas to help reinforce understanding. Peter was great with and for my son.

Inside NarrabundahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ari focused on statistics, working through mean, median, mode, and box-and-whisker plots, then practiced creating and interpreting pie graphs and describing theoretical probability.

Year 8 student Muhammad concentrated on English skills by developing a collaborative crime fiction podcast assignment—profiling characters and drafting scenes—and also read "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," answering comprehension questions and exploring vocabulary.

For primary support, Year 3 student Josh completed an English assessment covering reading comprehension and did a mini NAPLAN math test to check foundational numeracy skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student forgot to bring his homework for the week, which limited his ability to review and apply feedback in session.

For a Year 9 Ancient History essay, another student deleted his draft after a last-minute format change but did not send a new version for feedback—he may have been pressed for time or reluctant to share, as noted.

In Year 7 Mathematics, a student struggled with showing working on linear graph problems, making it difficult to identify where misunderstandings occurred.

Meanwhile, a senior English student needed more organized planning before exams rather than relying on ad-hoc preparation.

Recent Achievements

One Narrabundah tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now proactively requests clarification when stuck, especially during work on linear equations—marking a big shift from guessing through problems in silence.

In Year 11 English, another student took the initiative to revise his thesis statement after realising it didn't quite fit the essay prompt, making it clearer and more concise without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who struggled with open-ended writing tasks has begun finding his own words for responses when given scaffolded support, rather than waiting for suggestions.

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 Narrabundah Early Childhood School.
