Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

I think communication with your student is important. As a tutor, you can not force a student to do things your way, so it's important to be able to compromise and help them with what they think is important so they don't lose interest in a subject, whether it is a struggling student or one that wants to excel. By involving them in the process you…

As a reliable and motivational tutor, I lead by example demonstrating initiative to commence and finish projects. I set clear expectations and monitor performance against agreed plans with key performance indicators. As trust, confidence and good performance is further demonstrated, I encourage initiative and reward students with more autonomy. I…

A tutor should have the ability to share information in a way that others will learn, grasp the concepts, understand the input. A tutor should be able to know strengths and weakness of a student. A extra paper work is required by tutor for better performance of a student. A regular assessment of student to enhance his performance. A tutor should…

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

Ancient History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think to be dependable and reliable is the best thing for a student, so that they can feel safe with asking for help from their tutor. A student must first feel safe around their teacher so that they can more openly accept guidance and assistance. I consider myself a very friendly and approachable person. As someone who experienced academic…

I believe it is essential to understand your student, and adapt your teaching and communication style to benefit their learning style, age, personality, and knowledge. It is important for a tutor to really believe in their student, and do all they can to help them excel. I believe I have excellent communication skills as I am able to adapt to each…

Inside TurnerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Anton practised long multiplication and division alongside reading comprehension, and also spent time developing rhythm skills in music through hands-on clapping exercises.

For Year 8, Charlotte reviewed surface area, volume, and perimeter problems using practice questions to prepare for an upcoming test, then tackled algebraic fractions with a focus on multiplying and dividing complex expressions.

Meanwhile, Tom in Year 9 refined his English essay on Of Mice and Men by exploring themes of the American Dream, and revised linear relationships in maths ahead of his test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student faced difficulty maintaining logical written steps in algebra, with a tutor noting, "he skipped showing steps in rearranging equations, which hid sign errors." This often meant time was lost tracing mistakes instead of moving forward.

In Year 7 English, one learner's messy handwriting and tendency to rush made their sentences hard to follow—sometimes the grammar suffered as a result.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling probability struggled to recall sampling methods under timed conditions; even when understanding the theory, lack of structured revision led to avoidable confusion during more complex tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Turner noticed a big shift with one Year 11 student who used to hesitate on complex algebra but now independently tackles expanding binomials and even remembers the steps for tricky parabolas from previous sessions.

Another high schooler, after struggling to start essays, now jots down discussion points between lessons and brings well-prepared outlines—she's even watched extra films to deepen her analysis for English.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often guessed at times tables is now confidently doing quick mental multiplication and checks his work before moving on.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Turner School.
