Most important things I can do for a student is to ensure whether the student has actually understood the topic or not. I will patiently understand the doubts of a student to identify the weak area of a student and make a plan to strengthen those areas. My strength as a tutor is to clearly explain the logic behind the method used and majorly focus…

Tutor Sandy Bay, TAS
A tutor needs to help the students understand the concepts and the "why" behind the problem. This allows them to be able to solve problems on their own and increase their confidence. Creating a judgment-free and supportive environment, where students can ask questions and mistakes are not punished, is essential for a tutor to help a student…

Tutor Lenah Valley, TAS
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subject matter they are teaching enjoyable to learn. This is important because learning should be something we actively engage in and if a tutor can make it so the students seek out learning more readily then they have already succeeded in some sense. As a tutor my strengths are…

Ensure they meet there every need and ensure a student is enjoying their learning, because if there not enjoying they won’t do well.

Inside West HobartTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Scarlett focused on identifying and using Greek and Latin roots in words, followed by quick activities on prefixes, suffixes, and applying punctuation rules such as commas and hyphens.

Year 12 student Aimee revised stoichiometry calculations with an emphasis on mole-mass conversions, then moved onto tackling exam-style questions in Organic Chemistry.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Charli concentrated on the adaptive immune system by working through related practice questions and also reviewed principles of CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes became overwhelmed by multi-step questions, leading her to overcomplicate rather than break problems down. As one tutor noted, "She needs to slow down and use diagrams or equations to simplify."

In Year 7 English, Scarlett often skipped words while reading aloud and hesitated to ask clarifying questions when confused; this occasionally led to misunderstanding sentence structure tasks.

Huy in Year 12 Biology tended not to provide enough depth in short answer responses—feedback was given on developing fuller explanations using key terminology.

Missed opportunities for regular revision contributed to these issues across subjects.

Recent Achievements

One West Hobart tutor noticed a real shift in Aimee's approach to chemistry: she now openly flags any areas of confusion during sessions and patiently works through challenging concepts, instead of moving on uncertain.

In another session, Charli demonstrated new initiative by highlighting her weaker topics for focused revision—something she hadn't done before—and then successfully applied her knowledge to answer the targeted questions.

Meanwhile, Zane, a younger student, tackled an article analysis by reading aloud fluently and asking for word definitions when needed, finishing with his own clear paraphrasing of the main points.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Guilford Young College - Hobart Campus.
