Science Tutor Fisher, ACT
A tutor , according to me should be available to the student at all times. They have to respond to the student's enquiries without much lag. Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments. I have had students giving me feedback like I am really patient in clarifying the concepts.…

A tutor influences a student in many ways. He or she contributes a lot to the personality of a student. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to build confidence. And I believe confidence is something that is essential throughout a persons life. It's the confidence that makes one believe that they could do things…

Through my time at university, I have found the ability to be patient is what separates my current tutors apart. A willingness to stop and answer questions, that some may be too scared to ask, has certainly improved my learning opportunities. The notion of ‘no stupid questions’ in my Power Electronics course this semester has been a great…

Provide a stable and consistent source of support in their education, while simultaneously being a person they are under no pressure to impress.

Allowing my tutees to make mistakes and learn from them, results in better mathematical thinkers. I think that maths is best learned through a trial and error of methods, to find the best one. While this is an individual pursuit, guidance to understanding concepts and learning why or why not certain methods work, is key. Instead of saying "this…

A tutor must find out about a student's personal learning requirements, such as where and why they struggle with concepts, and then figure out how best the student learns, then teach the student according to their own needs, that they may gain fluency in the particular academic area. I am a good communicator, and I have a good grasp of subject…

Inside WestonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Sam focused on converting fractions and decimals to percentages, and practiced addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators.

Year 9 Sami worked through factorising by grouping and calculated the volume of prisms and cylinders using formulae.

For Year 10 Tiana, lessons addressed solving simultaneous equations by elimination as well as finding the area of circles and parallelograms, using diagrams for visual support where needed.

Recent Challenges

During recent lessons, a Year 9 student relied on a calculator for basic multiplication and squared numbers, slowing progress in more complex test questions; as noted, "requires calculator for simple multiplying (x 3 etc.)."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing assessment pieces faced procrastination challenges—study planners were suggested to manage multiple upcoming exams but deadlines still crept up.

In Year 7 English, missing or incomplete homework drafts led to last-minute writing sessions instead of refining arguments. These patterns meant valuable time was lost on foundational tasks rather than building confidence with higher-level skills before major assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Weston tutor noticed a big shift in Sami, a high schooler who previously felt stuck at a C but now independently creates extra maths questions to challenge himself and recently beat his goal with a 71% on his exam.

Another student, Rory, started the term hesitant to draft essays but now writes productively for nearly an hour straight and received positive feedback from his English teacher about a well-prepared presentation.

Meanwhile, Samuel in primary school moved from struggling with perimeter problems to mastering both area and perimeter calculations, finishing all four skill levels with just minimal guidance.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Jude's Primary School.
