When a tutor takes personal and genuine responsibility for the learning of the student, it really makes the student want to work hard enough to meet their goals. So I think that is the most important thing a tutor can do. I never lose my patience and I am very consistent with my effort. I am able to change my ways of teaching according to the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be present as a support system, and a peer more than a teacher. If a student is coming for tutoring, they clearly want to improve in a certain area, or are just looking for supplemental support. We are not meant to replace their teachers in any way, but instead offer a helping hand…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are: 1. Listen - be aware of the student's needs and goals. 2. Adapt - be flexible and willing to change things if the need arises. 3. Focus - be structured and strict when the need arises, to keep the student on track with their goals. My strengths would be my enthusiasm for learning,…

A tutor should be able to provide necessary learning resources for students, feedback and encouragement. A tutor should also be understanding of each student’s skill level and create a stress-free, yet informative learning session that actually tailors to the specific student’s need. Every student should feel that they have the potential to…

It is important that a tutor makes the student feel that they are in a comfortable environment, so that the student feels willing and ready to learn. The tutor must ensure that the student does not feel ashamed or embarrassed about the areas of their learning that they may be struggling with. Instead, the tutor should encourage the student to…

I think being prepared to explain things in multiple ways to a student until they grasp an idea is crucial to learning. Having enough practice material to ensure they have a proper grasp of the task they're doing and repeating that process so they don't forget the skills they've learnt. I am very patient and I have always been able to explain…

For me one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is simply to genuinely believe a student can do well. They need to be able to demonstrate that they care how the student progresses and believes that they are capable of achieving their goals. Most students will believe more in themselves if they know that others do too. I…

I think that the tutor acts as a mentor for the student. In this role, the tutor should encourage the students to think critically in order to find answers to their questions. By providing the means to discover the answers for themselves, the tutor ensures that the student does not merely address the 'what' of the question but is also able to…

I think that one of the most important things is to really work with the student. A big reason that people come to tutors outside of school is because of the fact that they need more individually catered style of teaching as the one their teacher isn’t working. Due to this, targeting your teaching approach to the individual students needs is…

As a busy family, having the convenience of a tutor come into the house has made it so much easier for us to commit to weekly tutoring. Our tutor is on time and has been helpful for my daughter understanding maths concepts that were challenging her.

Inside Box HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jamie revised linear functions by identifying x and y axes, finding intercepts, and calculating gradients before plotting coordinates on graphs.

In Year 8, Priya focused on angles in parallel lines, using diagrams to solve for unknown values and reviewing types of angles from term content.

For a Year 9 session, Daniel tackled statistics by constructing frequency tables and bar graphs, then calculated mean, median, mode, and explored box-and-whisker plots to interpret data visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student in algebra avoided showing full working when finding gradients from two points—she skipped steps in equations, which made it hard to spot calculation errors.

In a senior statistics session, incomplete homework on box-and-whisker plots left key gaps; the student hesitated during IQR questions.

A Year 6 student's written work was messy and lacked clear layout in long division, leading to repeated confusion with remainders.

Meanwhile, one primary learner struggled to focus during word problem tasks and guessed answers rather than writing solutions—a rushed approach that led to unfinished revision sheets by lesson's end.

Recent Achievements

One Box Hill tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with graph sketching now confidently draws accurate line graphs from just the equation, no prompting needed.

In a recent high school session, another student who previously second-guessed herself with linear equations was able to recall lesson objectives and solve for unknowns without pausing or asking for help.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with simplifying fractions finally managed to use long division independently by the end of their lesson—after starting out unsure, he worked through several problems on his own and got them right.

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 Our Lady of Sion College.
