A good tutor can easily solve all those problems of students which they normally feel hesitate to discuss in the classroom. A tutor provides those students a good chance to ask and discuss their queries easily. I teach my students in a nice environment. I make them fully comfortable to ask anything and share their ideas or thoughts. They can…

I would say the most important thing is making sure the student grasps everything fully and also gets all his/her questions answered before ending the session. I would asks questions in between studies in order to ensure they are on the right track. Another important thing would be to always be calm and to treat the student with kindness. I think…

Most importantly, listen! A lot of students don't know where they are struggling but give it away with the questions they ask or the steps they take to try and solve problems.

Tutors can offer a lot to a student that needs help and is finding their studies difficult. One of the things is another perspective of teaching the content to the student, different from the way the classroom teacher has taught them. By doing this if they do not understand in that perspective, it helps by giving them an alternative…

Great understanding and knowledge of the subject is possibly the best thing a tutor can offer.

Inside St JamesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mieke worked on visualising data and interpreting graphs, then solved word problems involving graphing data.

In Year 10, Ronja focused on ionic equations and practised calculating titration quantities using stoichiometric ratios.

For Year 11, Fatima reviewed redox equations and oxidation numbers before revisiting subatomic particles and tackling linear equations relevant to chemistry calculations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, the student still shows some minor mistakes in writing chemical formulas, especially when revising ionic and polyatomic ions—missteps that lingered after sessions unless earlier material was rechecked.

A Year 9 student did not complete assigned homework or maintain a school notebook, making it difficult to track progress in new math concepts.

For a Year 6 learner, untidy handwriting made written work hard to read, leading to confusion during revision.

In English (Year 10), one student hesitated to organize thoughts on paper, often leaving drafts unfinished; as the tutor noted, "she writes well but is often hesitant."

Recent Achievements

One St James tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously relied heavily on guidance now summarising the main steps for balancing ionic equations and explaining the stoichiometric ratio's importance in titration problems—an area that had caused confusion before.

In another session, a high schooler began independently solving questions after gaps in balancing half-equations were addressed; she tackled most homework with minimal help, marking a real shift from earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to rush through English assignments is now catching silly mistakes by reviewing his work more carefully, leading to clearer handwriting and fewer errors overall.

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 Victoria Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Millen Primary School.
