I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Lawson, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

Psychology Tutor Cook, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

The responsibilities of a tutor involve not only cultivating subject knowledge but also developing a passion for learning. Building a strong connection with the student, identifying their unique learning style, and adapting teaching strategies accordingly are crucial. Moreover, a tutor plays a pivotal role in instilling confidence, critical…

Inside WatsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mia worked on converting between units of measurement (including kilometres, metres, and hectares) and practiced division alongside introducing index notation.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on applying index laws for multiplication and division of powers with the same base, as well as simplifying expressions using these rules.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex revised conditional probability with Venn diagrams and tree diagrams, practicing how to calculate probabilities of combined events and complementary outcomes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often relied heavily on notes and formula sheets when solving algebra problems, rarely writing out full working—"Needs to write working out down," as one tutor observed. This habit led to confusion between addition and multiplication in expressions like 3x versus 3 + x, causing repeated errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student frequently left multiplication table homework incomplete or forgot books at school; only half of assigned work was submitted for several weeks. As a result, important foundational skills remained patchy and test revision sessions were spent relearning basics instead of consolidating new material.

Recent Achievements

One Watson tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had previously needed reminders for algebraic expansion—this week, after just one prompt, he expanded several bracketed expressions almost independently.

A high school student working on probability was able to use a double table effectively to solve intersection problems without any help, showing new self-reliance compared to past sessions.

In primary years, another student who once hesitated to work alone completed all multiplication and subtraction problems with only minimal assistance and even started tackling simple fractions 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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Majura Primary School.
