I believe tutoring helps students develop a genuine love for learning. There are 2 characteristics a tutor needs to achieve this. Firstly, the tutor should have an open and friendly personality. Learning is inherently effortful, and having someone friendly to guide the process makes it more enjoyable and productive. Additionally, tutors need to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is tailor their lessons to the student's learning styles. For example, while a tutor may prefer to teach visually, a student may learn best by verbal explanations, so it is important for a tutor to put the needs of the student before their own and show adaptability in doing so. Additionally, a…

Inside WilstonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack worked on reading and spelling words with consonant blends and digraphs, as well as identifying rhymes with different letter patterns through oral practice.

In Year 8, Mia focused on expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions using the FOIL method and practiced calculations involving positive and negative integers.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Sam tackled simultaneous equations via substitution alongside work on combining like terms in algebraic contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student did not group like terms together, which led to persistent errors that affected later answers.

Another in Year 10 maths often relied on mental calculation rather than showing written steps; as the tutor noted, she needs to write out solutions instead of doing problems in her head to avoid mistakes.

In senior probability work (Year 11), there was a pattern of incomplete revision: practice focused mainly on familiar rules, while more challenging tasks like Venn diagrams and addition rules were avoided. The missed opportunity for deeper feedback slowed progress during independent problem sets.

Recent Achievements

One Wilston tutor noticed a big shift with Ben, a high schooler who previously relied on help for each maths step—this week he worked through tougher substitution questions mostly on his own and used pen and paper to catch his own errors before asking for support.

Audrey, also in high school, began using mnemonics and study plans to break her habit of last-minute revision; she independently chose which resources to use when preparing for an upcoming geometry test.

Meanwhile, Alora in primary school showed new persistence by back-checking her reading aloud without prompting, catching and correcting small word mistakes herself.

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