I believe the most important thing for a tutor to do is to cultivate the interest and engagement of the students. In Chinese, there is an idiom that roughly translates to "Interest is the best teacher", by actively engaging the interests of students you make learning not a chore, but rather a joy. I believe that my biggest strength lies in my…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not just tell a student the answers for everything, but to teach them how to solve it for themselves, and to help them gain the skills to learn and understand on their own, so even if I stop teaching them, they will be stronger on their own. I believe my strengths lie within the mindset…

Great communication and really understanding the students way of learning. Whether it is visually or through notes, the tutor should be able to adapt the way he teaches based on the students capabilities and understanding. Also the ability to not make class boring or a drag, because the student is then uninterested and bored, which hinders their…

A tutor should motivate their student to strive for the best while remembering that every student is different and using different methods to comply with the needs of the students in order to help their student in the most effective way. In order to achieve this, the tutor needs to build a genuine and strong relationship with their students to…

English Tutor Knoxfield, VIC
I consider being a friend and a good listener first so that they can tell their problems of learning and we can sort it out together. I also think motivating the student even if it a small success would impact them in a good way. Adaptable to change my teaching skills in order to be fun and engaging depending on the student. As a tutor my…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to try to understand their problem to the best of their capability and explain it to them in a way that they will find easiest. I think the most important thing is to be able to recognize the way the student is able to learn and how they learn, so they can be taught in that way.…

There are a variety of things that makes a tutor stand out and become a real teacher. One is to let the student feel comfortable enough for them to ask questions that they might feel is a basic question. Instilling confidence in them to explore without hesitation and fear is important in the students development. This will help them face their own…

The most important thing I can do for a student is to help them feel confident in what they’re learning. Confidence makes it easier for them to understand and succeed on their own. My strength as a tutor is my ability to build relationships and form strong connections with students through engaging conversation. This allows me to better…

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.
