The goal of tutoring, in some sense, should be to equip students with the skills to no longer need tutoring. I believe this is best achieved by allowing the student to choose study-related goals, and help them take achievable steps in order to get there. As their competence increases in proximity to the larger goal, so too does their confidence as…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be their personal cheerleader. A tutor who genuinely cares about a student’s success—both big and small—can make all the difference. It’s about more than just teaching content; it’s about showing up for them, celebrating their progress, and creating an environment…

I think being a good tutor should be encouraging and passionate. And tutors should know what students need for help on their strengths and weakness. Also, tutors also should always encourage students to be brave in asking questions so the students can get faster improvement. Especially for young age students, they are hard to focus but it's…

I think there are two main things a tutor can do for a student; maintain high grades and garner a positive attitude. It is imperative as a tutor's job to help the student maintain or achieve high grades in the particular area of study. However, high academic standards are not simply enough. It is also important for a tutor to build up an…

The most important quality a tutor can have is being an attentive listener.

This openness allows the tutor to tailor their approach to meet each student’s unique needs, ensuring the most effective and…

Every child is unique, so he/she has to be dealt with and moulded accordingly. The greatest thing in my eyes that a tutor can do for a student is listening to the student requirements as to what or where he/she needs special attention, or what he is grabbing or not. The greatest asset to this is communication, a student can only open his/her heart…

Patience and humility. When teaching, one must maintain composure or they will go off course. Additionally, the tutor should never believe that they are more knowledgeable than their students in all topics or that they know everything. Many teachers dislike it when their pupils contradict them and turn the situation into an ego conflict. This is…

I think it is very important to ask the student if they’re still attentive and understanding after every while of teaching. This is because of the student have lost concentration, they will not be able to learn anything and the lesson will be effectively useless. Thus it is important to sometimes insert some humour or times to stretch to regain…

The most important area that a tutor can provide a student is to make sure they are in a comfortable and non-judgmental environment.

After providing a friendly setting, this would lay the foundation that would help enable the student to develop a…

Inside Blackburn NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Carla worked on polynomials and transformations in preparation for an upcoming SAC, focusing on applying these concepts to test-style questions.

Year 10 student Julita tackled application-based calculus problems, especially absolute maximum and minimums, using practical scenarios to deepen understanding.

For a younger student in Year 5, basic subtraction was revisited along with practice on two-digit by two-digit multiplication to build calculation accuracy.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student relied heavily on the calculator and missed chances to learn more efficient methods—"could learn more efficient CAS practices," noted one tutor.

During Year 10 Chemistry, revision focused only on familiar metallic and ionic bonding problems; unfamiliar question types were avoided.

In a Year 4 session, incomplete homework meant multiplication tables stayed shaky, leading to confusion in multi-step division.

One Year 7 struggled with writing out working for algebra, preferring to solve "in his head," which made it hard to catch errors.

When tasks pile up or feedback isn't used, understanding lags behind what's possible.

Recent Achievements

A Blackburn North tutor recently noticed Carla, a Year 12 student, move from needing step-by-step guidance on differentiation to independently applying the quotient and product rules across unfamiliar calculus problems—she now checks her own work for errors before asking for help.

Meanwhile, Chloe in Year 11, who once hesitated with graphing functions, was able to confidently sketch piecewise graphs and spot mistakes in her SAC answers by herself.

At the primary level, one student who struggled with long division is now reliably setting out each step without reminders and can explain their reasoning aloud as they work through problems.

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 Blackburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Old Orchard Primary School.
