The most important thing a tutor can do is to make their students curious about the subject they are studying and help them retain the knowledge they had learnt I think my strengths are that I have a lot of knowledge in subjects that some students have trouble in and I can further expand that knowledge so that each student gets to understand it…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to be flexible with their different learning styles. Often when students ask for a tutor it's because they are unable to learn using the method their teacher uses. It's a tutor's job to rework concepts in a way so that students can benefit from it. Simply repeating what a teacher has said isn't…

The most important thing is listening to a student and truly understanding their strengths and weaknesses. This will ensure that the lesson is tailored for their own needs and maximum benefits are gained. Moreover, if a student does not understand a certain concept, explaining it to them in a different manner is really important. My strength is…

Teach the student how to learn. As a tutor your ultimate goal is to help the student become an independent learner. Be willing to share your own experiences. By sharing information about what you have encountered, the student may feel relieved that he is not alone. Sharing experiences and lessons learned goes a long way toward building trust and…

Pass on knowledge about how to become self-sufficient and break down work so that it's less overwhelming. Moreover, teaching students how to learn actively, rather than passively is incredibly significant. It is what will help prepare them for VCE, tertiary education, and just general adult life. Additionally, it is important that tutors…

Inside CardiniaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby focused on decimals—rounding, adding, and dividing—and then applied these skills to solve currency and discount problems.

For Year 8, Josh tackled algebraic equations using backtracking methods and practiced graphing straight lines by finding their equations from Cartesian plane diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily revised trigonometry concepts through homework questions and worksheets, before moving on to solving linear equations involving variables on both sides.

Recent Challenges

During Year 8 algebra and ratio work, Eugene often did not submit completed homework by the due date, making it difficult to address errors promptly.

In Year 10 trigonometry revision, written solutions were sometimes messy—steps and working became hard to follow, as noted: "It was tricky to check for calculation errors when workings weren't clearly laid out."

For a recent senior exam preparation session, Eugene relied heavily on his notes rather than attempting problems independently first. This meant less time spent building confidence in unfamiliar questions and more time retracing earlier steps.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cardinia recently saw a few real learning shifts worth noting. In Year 10, Eugene moved from occasionally missing homework deadlines to now completing all assigned tasks on time and even scored full marks on recent linear equations assignments—this turnaround means class time is now focused on extending his skills instead of catching up.

A Year 11 student who used to avoid asking for help during sessions has started reaching out between lessons when stuck, leading to noticeably fewer repeated errors in her trigonometry work.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who struggled with attention to detail began double-checking answers independently and caught her own mistakes during a mixed numbers exercise.

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 Pakenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cardinia Primary School.
