The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support them, encourage them and listen to them. Instilling fear in students and shaming them for not knowing a concept or for not understanding something is unacceptable. A tutor needs to be someone that makes their students confident and builds them up as they receive enough pressures…

English Tutor Ferny Creek, VIC
Improving the confidence of the student is key. The student should evolve to have more trust in themselves and their abilities and be able to apply this. The most important thing I could do for the student is to help them achieve their own personal best and be motivated to achieve. I am a good listener. I apply this to pinpointing the key areas…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is; - Allow them to be apart of the goal setting process for their learning - Follow the Gradual Release of Responsibility method in scaffolding students, allowing them to feel ownership and create independence - Form a solid rapport with students, so that learning can take place in a fun,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to guide them instead of doing the work for them. It is important for the students to feel that they have control over what they are learning and for them to be encouraged through feedback and practice. I am a very patient, determined and creative person. I can understand what a student…

English Tutor Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC
Without a doubt, I believe it is essential for a tutor to nurture and grow self-belief within their students beyond anything else. Self-belief is perhaps the most pivotal factor in deciding academic success as well as personal success, and thus I see it as an important quality for a tutor to develop . Whilst a tutor should also be avaliable,…

I do think it's very important a student never feels judged or stressed from the pressure of learning, as that can taint their experience for a long time before they are comfortable again to engage actively. It's crucial tutors are understanding of how a student is feeling and supports them as much as possible in moments of confusion and…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to find the best ways to help students learn. At the end of the day, tutors aren't there to teach students everything, but to assist them in their learning journey so that eventually, the students can feel confident enough in their knowledge to answer questions. Building confidence in young people is one…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. A tutor's job is not to just teach the student, but to bring out the best of the student and a tutor cannot do that unless they listen to the student. A good tutor is not a tutor that had achieved exceedingly well themselves, although that is a part of it- it's about their ability…

Learning is a key to understanding and appreciating the complex beauty of life - enriching the life of the individual. It is one of the key foundations a tutor can establish for their students. A child who has failed to 'keep up' with learning, to understand a concept or course of study, will tend to drop further behind, and attempt to mask…

Inside BelgraveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on multiplying multi-digit numbers and practiced adding and subtracting fractions, with some time spent reading 24-hour time.

Year 11 student Isaac worked through scene analysis from The Princess Bride, identifying cinematic devices, and also tackled political cartoon analysis for English argument tasks.

Another Year 11 lesson involved reviewing General Maths finance topics using past exam questions and practicing use of the finance solver to build confidence for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, one student often wrote answers that were difficult to follow due to unclear structure; as noted, "she needs to be more clear in the way she structures her answer in order for the teacher to be able to locate her answers more easily."

A Year 11 student avoided attempting harder maths questions, instead repeating familiar ones, which meant less exposure to new concepts before tests.

In Year 7, a student's handwriting was hard to read and spelling errors slowed essay completion—this made editing drafts challenging and reduced confidence during class discussions.

Recent Achievements

One Belgrave tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after previously second-guessing herself on essay structure, now drafts clear paragraphs and confidently revises her own work—she even caught and fixed an error in her latest piece without prompting.

In another session, a Year 8 student who used to wait for hints is now tackling maths homework independently, finishing nearly every question before the lesson ended.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student surprised his tutor by volunteering to read aloud for the first time instead of shying away from it.

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 Belgrave Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas More's School.
