For most students, biology doesn't seem that hard. The content isn't that intimidating and if you put in the time, more often than not results will follow.
The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…
A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor. As high school…
I believe the most important thing I can do is instil confidence in my students. Learning new and challenging topics can often be overwhelming, so I wish to teach students in a manner that allows them to feel comfortable in asking questions when unsure so that they can gain confidence in the topics or subjects that I have taught them. I possess…
The most important task is to understand the students and how they learn. This understanding helps teachers in guiding their practice to ensure that all students are benefited from education.

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…
The ability to listen to what is required of them, effective communication between tutor and student and the ability to help them effectively understand the content. I feel I am patient and understanding to how individuals learn and have the ability to adapt my explanations to what is…
A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…
In my experience there are parts of courses that a student can not or would not understand on their own, however through my assistance to understand road blocks in course content and as a result help resolve and navigate them to me is the most important aspect of the job. I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging and…
I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…
Encouraging students on questions they find difficult and nudging them in the right direction to solve problems so they can do it by themselves without requiring help. A tutor also needs to be reliable, so the student can go to them for help when they need it. I am patient, have a positive attitude towards helping others and can explain things in…
We are very happy with Anh and her tutoring of Lana. We are taking a break over the school holidays and public holiday but will be back into it in a couple of weeks.
Anh was very generous with her time leading up to Lana's last exam and although not anticipated given the short lead up time, her results improved.
It's been a great decision for us to set the foundations for Lana with senior maths.
Afra has met with Jasmine once so far as we have had the holidays. I think it went really well and Jasmine is actually looking froward to her next lesson this Saturday.
Lazarus is very happy with Joseph.
I think Joseph will be a good fit for Lazarus' learning needs.
