It is key to achieving results that you build a strong rapport with your student.

I think the most important thing is not only being decent at explaining and individually creating a good tutoring plan for the student but also to be empathetic. Without empathy, the student will not feel like the tutor understands their struggles and is truly trying to help them. Apart from showing them that understanding and kindly communicating…

Yuxi has been great.
Melissa

Inside ReidTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student James worked on analysing the domain of complex functions and reviewed his homework for linear equations, clarifying any misconceptions.

For Year 8, Emma focused on expanding brackets and solving linear systems of equations, including visualising binomials using geometric representations.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student revised fractions with exponents and practiced solving linear systems of equations, building confidence through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student hesitated when translating worded problems into equations in Maths Methods, often needing reassurance before starting—"once prompted, he finished the question," a tutor observed.

In Year 10, test planning and time management emerged as an obstacle: timing each question wasn't tracked, so slower sections remained hidden until revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student left key exercises unfinished between lessons, meaning fewer questions could be brought up for feedback during tutoring. This led to missed opportunities for targeted explanation and deeper understanding in algebraic methods.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Reid noticed Juan, a high school student, returning to earlier algebra content and quickly recalling everything after previous struggles with certain questions—this time he could answer them independently without hesitation.

Thea, also in high school, now openly admits when she doesn't understand a concept rather than staying quiet; she's begun drawing on prior lessons to solve new problems and can now expand equations without any help.

In primary sessions, one student who previously mixed up improper fractions now confidently converts them into whole numbers during practice questions.

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 Canberra Grammar School - Northside Infants Campus.
