I believe that the one of the most important things a tutor can do is to help a student truly realise their academic potential, especially since the needs of one student may be overlooked in a classroom setting. It is also important, however, to help inspire confidence in the subject, and hopefully a passion, so that they continue to succeed…

A tutor influences a student in many ways. He or she contributes a lot to the personality of a student. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to build confidence. And I believe confidence is something that is essential throughout a persons life. It's the confidence that makes one believe that they could do things…

A tutor, first and foremost, must ensure that a student is improving their grades, that is why people look for tutors in the first place. However, as well as this, a really good tutor can instil a genuine love of a given subject. This will also greatly assist in improving the student's performance. Thus the most important thing a tutor can do is…

Through my time at university, I have found the ability to be patient is what separates my current tutors apart. A willingness to stop and answer questions, that some may be too scared to ask, has certainly improved my learning opportunities. The notion of ‘no stupid questions’ in my Power Electronics course this semester has been a great…

For me, the most important thing as a tutor is acknowledge and care students. On top of that, communication and cooperation with students can help each other. Overall, hardwork and course plan can pave the way to a successful tutor. I am easy going, hardworking, honest and eager to learn new methods. As a tutor, my first approach is to prepare…

Inside RivettTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Alex worked on balancing chemical and net-ionic equations, as well as identifying and naming polyatomic ions with explanations about solubility, using real experiment observations for context.

In Year 11, Priya tackled forming chemical compound formulae by understanding ionic charges and practised writing full chemical equations from worded questions, including complex reaction types like single and double displacement.

For Year 8, Sam focused on solving simultaneous equations with two variables using the elimination method and applied area formulas to circles and parallelograms in geometry tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Chemistry, one student relied heavily on memorisation but skipped written practice balancing equations—"more practice is required to solidify technique," a tutor noted, especially when polyatomic ions appeared.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Maths, a learner used a calculator for basic multiplication and square roots rather than recalling times tables, which slowed progress during timed tests.

For an upper primary English task, incomplete daily writing led to weaker sentence structure and limited improvement in punctuation.

In senior years, late assessment drafts and missed school revision sessions meant valuable feedback was left unused before major Modern History and Sociology exams.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rivett noticed that a Year 11 student, Sami, took the initiative to create his own practice questions from class examples—something he hadn't tried before—and this led him to improve his understanding of parabolas and boost his maths exam score from 50% to 71%.

Meanwhile, Rory (Year 9) wrote productively for almost an entire session without prompting and received positive feedback from his English teacher for a thorough presentation, after previously struggling with clarity on assignment requirements.

In primary sessions, Samuel has gone from confusion about area and perimeter to confidently mastering those skills and finishing all related problems unaided.

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 Chapman Primary School.
