I believe the most important things a tutor can do for any student is teaching them the complicated thought processes and workings required to come to the right conclusion in any given situation or assessment, not just the conclusion itself. I believe my strengths as a tutor are my people skills and ability to connect and relate with my students,…

Personally, i believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel comfortable. Students that don\'t feel comfortable won\'t learn as effectively, may try to miss sessions or will cancel there sessions. After the tutor has made the student feel comfortable, then the next most important step is finding out there…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with a reason as to why its important they need to study, other than just getting good grades. I believe if the students can find why they need to learn all the stuff and they see the bigger picture, then it will provide the students with enough internal motivation, which…

Studying can be arduous and frustrating to many people as it requires the brain to work to overcome the challenges given by school teachers. When encountering hardships, it is natural for the brain to act reluctant to perform the tasks as wanted. For this is why I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be capable of…

The most important thing I can do as a tutor is to encourage the student to do their best and achieve their goals. If their goal is to get straight A's then I will ensure that I do all I can to help them get there. If their goal is to pass or to improve their grades, it is important that I help them do that. I do not want to give them the answers,…

A tutor should be able to consider the wants and needs of the student, as well as keeping a steadily growing pace in terms of learning content. If a student is lacking in a specific area, the tutor should be able to recognise that and determine or formulate content plans to help mitigate that. I believe any and every student should learn and…

A tutor most importantly needs to understand the areas that the students need improvement. Considering their ability to grasp new concepts and learning styles, a tutor will have to design their teaching methods to suit a particular student.

Inside Seventeen Mile RocksTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Priya focused on factorising polynomials and applying the remainder theorem, as well as interpreting and sketching piecewise functions.

In Year 9, Liam practised solving linear equations and worked with decimal operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to strengthen his number skills.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Zoe consolidated her understanding of ratios between numbers and practised dividing by 10, 100, and 1000 with results calculated to two decimal places.

Recent Challenges

Homework was not completed for a Year 11 Chemistry session, limiting progress on consolidating acid/base concepts.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, the notes highlighted "she tries to draw the graph in her head instead of working it out," which led to confusion with piecewise and polynomial graphs—important steps were skipped on paper.

A Year 9 student repeatedly forgot formulas during algebra and area questions, partly from only revising recent content instead of older material.

One Year 4 learner didn't remember to add carried numbers in multi-digit addition, causing calculation slip-ups that went unchecked.

Recent Achievements

One Seventeen Mile Rocks tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to get stuck rearranging formulas now quickly solves for unknowns and graphs linear equations with only a nudge.

In chemistry, a senior high school student who previously mixed up different acid types is now confidently explaining the steps for polyprotic acids and balancing tricky equations independently.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Tahlia, who struggled to remember her 9x tables, now uses clever tricks she's learned to break them down herself and recently worked through big number multiplication problems like 147 x 48 without hesitation.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School.
