I consider this to be the ability to adapt to a students needs and learning ability. Certain students may not understand concepts from the same method as everyone else. It's important to cater to each student and understand what their best form of learning is. To do this different styles of teaching can be implemented to see which ones each…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is to create a friendly and supportive learning environment, which makes students feel comfortable and at ease rather than intimidated. I believe that this can help them overcome any anxieties they may have and maximise their learning potential. Additionally, by being supportive and understanding,…

I think the most important thing is that students are able to recall information because they actually understand what they are being taught and not memorizing concepts just for the sake of it. By doing this, they will automatically improve and maintain good grades. I think my strength is being a student where I can understand the struggles that…

I am confident, patient and kind. I enjoy working with kids and I like learning and also knowing I've helped someone else learn something new. I feel I can pass on my motivation to students, as well as the importance of having a positive mindset- especially as you approach senior years in high school. I'm encouraging and I feel that I have the…

For a tutor to make a significant difference to a student's academic performance, I highly believe that they should be able to teach a certain topic in a multitude of ways, in order to assist with the various learning preferences of students. The adaptability of a tutor is crucial to becoming the greatest assistance for a student, as this creates…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clarity, build confidence, and encourage independent thinking. First, a tutor should break down complex topics into simpler terms, making them easier to understand. Second, they should help students build confidence in their abilities by offering positive reinforcement…

A tutor is someone who encourages the students to get best of them. Moreover, tutor is also responsible for creating moral values in students as many students see their teachers as their ideal or mentor. I don't see teaching just as a formality. I create a fun and friendly environment to teach the students so that they don't get bored. I also…

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,…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to find the best ways to help students learn.

Building confidence in young people is one…

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 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…

Local Reviews

Devin’s tutoring was very helpful for Allegra. Devin is not only competent; importantly Devin is a very nice young man.
Brian

Inside Belgrave HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on building speed and confidence with times tables and practiced using coordinates, directions, and map scales.

Year 10 student Vien developed arguments for a practice essay and worked on proofreading homework in preparation for an upcoming SAC.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Isaac explored scene analysis from *The Princess Bride* in English and strengthened his skills interpreting political cartoons for argument analysis.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, a student hesitated to generate unique examples for essays, tending to latch onto the first idea rather than exploring a wider range—"responding to each question in an original and critical way" was a challenge noted by the tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student often left writing assignments unfinished or only partially developed, especially conclusions.

In maths (Year 8), one student skipped regular practice at home and struggled to recall methods during lessons; this meant lesson time was spent re-learning instead of moving forward.

For Year 5, untidy handwriting made it hard for teachers to follow his reasoning during comprehension tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Belgrave Heights tutor noticed one high school student started proofreading their own essays for the first time, picking up on unclear paragraphs after previously submitting drafts without checking.

Another secondary student who used to hesitate with complex maths questions now works through new algebra problems independently by the end of each session, only asking for help when truly stuck.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once rushed through spelling tasks is now taking extra time to reread and correct errors, finishing her weekly exercises with noticeably fewer mistakes than before.

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 Belgrave South Primary School.
