The most important this that a tutor can do for a student, is to keep in mind that tutoring is not the same as giving a lecture. That needs to be reflected in the adaptation of the tutoring session to the individual student. This can be done by lowering or raising the level if needed, speeding up or slowing down, and providing precise feedback…

The most significant role of a tutor is understanding of necessities of every single student. So that a good relationship must be established between the student and me. Some critical attributes for that are adaptability, energy, openness, humility, and being aware of multicultural differences. Often, this relationship is created quickly, but at…

The most important thing for a tutor is to be actively listening; a tutor should respond to the student since tutoring differs from general teaching by way of individuality. Each student can express themselves as a person to a tutor rather than just another student in a class. I believe I am great at adapting my teaching style to cater for each…

I believe the important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show patience and determination to increase the confidence and self-esteem of the child. To do this a teacher must really get to know the student, their learning styles and strengths and weaknesses, to make customisable plans, which attract students to learn and result in better…

A tutor should be particularly approachable and friendly in order for the student to feel as if they enjoy tutoring and that they can ask for help.

To find a way to explain problems to a student that suits that particular student, as you can explain something to someone for a long time, but they may still be unable to understand it if it isn't presented in a way that is suitable for their learning style.

Not all students are modelled the same way. Some are able to learn by studying the books while others require a lot of practice. Hence I believe that teaching the student how to study based on his or her strengths is the best thing a tutor can do and I will strive to achieve that at all costs. I spend a lot of time communicating with the student…

Local Reviews

Griffith has been fantastic.
Samantha

Inside Upper SturtTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on building multiplication and division skills, as well as applying these to everyday money scenarios.

In Year 10, Lucas worked through trigonometric equations and tackled circular geometry problems using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam addressed applications of integration and explored magnetic induction by linking mathematical techniques to physics contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was observed not completing much revision between sessions, which meant he "hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions," leaving him less prepared for upcoming tests.

In Year 12 Physics, another student understood the theory during lessons but struggled to recall methods independently when tackling homework. One tutor noted, "he can work out problems with encouragement but struggles to remember how he solved similar equations the previous Sunday."

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student frequently mixed up cents and dollars in money questions—messy working made it harder to spot these misunderstandings in time.

Recent Achievements

One Upper Sturt tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially relying on rote memorisation for kinematics, began applying concepts independently and handed in fully self-checked notes for revision.

In a Year 8 session, a student who used to quietly guess at division problems now eagerly explains each step aloud, showing new ownership of her thinking.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made the leap from struggling with basic time questions to confidently choosing when to add or subtract minutes without prompting—ending the lesson by finishing all ten time word problems correctly on her own.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Upper Sturt Primary School.
