English Tutor Keysborough, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to have faith and empathy for the one they are teaching. This is because only through empathy can they identify what the student needs to improve on. Through faith, the student will have the courage to learn and strive for consistency and a harmonious relationship between teacher and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand their students and the way they learn! This means bringing up different approaches to studying if one does not work for the student and ensuring that they are listened to and supported at all time! Tutors should not shame their students and work on more than just achieving…

A tutor should be patient and be flexible, able to adjust their lesson plan according to student needs. It is important that the tutor does not just talk AT the student, but allow them to respond and engage with the student, in a way that allows the student to integrate lessons on paper into daily life, and hopefully foster an interest in the…

English Tutor Aspendale, VIC
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is make the subject material engaging, fun and captivating. In my opinion, a student can only learn and develop if they choose to do so, regardless of the ability or experience of the tutor or student. Thus, by making the subject in question seem alive through enthusiasm and engagement, the student…

English Tutor Springvale South, VIC
A tutor needs to care about their student. Without a sense of trust between teacher and student, there exists no confidence in either party. The student's faith in the system declines, as does the teacher's faith in the student. Thus, what I deem THE most important factor in tutoring is to show compassion and understanding to a student; to show…

The old proverb comes to mind of: "Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime." I think the most important thing a tutor can do is inspire the student, and not just equip them with English skills, but confidence and motivation. The most important thing is to believe in the student, so…

Tutors should be able to not only teach concepts to students but also get them to have a genuine interest in the subject, as this further increases the students' willingness and ability to do well in their studies. They should also equip students with the skills necessary to successfully complete assessments they are given, as understanding…

To teach them in a way that they are equipped with the knowledge at a good pace for them, while also remaining up to date or a head of schedule. This allows them to have things mastered before their classes, allowing them to spend that time in the most effective way they see fit. My strengths as a tutor are the ability to lead a student to an…

- Simplify the subject/topic at hand, making a very challenging topic seem approachable and solvable. - Build rapport, and perhaps gain a form of friendship, so that the learning experience seems less like teaching at school/university, and more friendly and relaxed, which is conducive to enjoyable learning. I believe in a teaching/tutoring…

Firstly, being kind, patient and listening to the student matters the most. This is because not everyone is the same, not everyone has the same capacity to understand and grasp the concept. One student may understand it in a minute, whereas another may take 10. So its very important that the tutor is kind, patient and listens to the student.…

Local Reviews

Carol has been amazing and Alexandra has made great progress with her maths.
Joanna

Inside Dandenong SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aryan focused on recognising number patterns and writing numbers as words, alongside practicing addition with 4-digit numbers using hands-on worksheets.

In Year 9, Aidan worked through applications of trigonometric ratios in worded problems and reviewed the area of a triangle by tackling reasoning questions with formula breakdowns.

For Year 10, Maddy practiced graphing parabolas including translations along both axes and found x- and y-intercepts to consolidate her understanding before upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was set homework to write numbers as words up to the thousandths, but this was not completed, making it harder to reinforce number-word connections.

In Year 5 maths, finger counting persisted for addition and subtraction—"He should work on comprehending worded problems without assistance," one tutor noted—which slowed progress with multi-step questions.

A Year 9 student in algebra skipped showing working for equations, so sign errors went unnoticed until answers were checked.

During a senior exam review (Year 12), time management issues meant rushed final answers and missed marks despite understanding concepts; the lost opportunity lingered after the bell rang.

Recent Achievements

A Dandenong South tutor noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to ask questions, now works through challenging percentage increase and decrease problems independently and actively seeks clarification only when truly stuck.

In a recent session with a Year 11 student, the tutor observed her confidently applying SOHCAHTOA to trigonometry problems—something she struggled to visualise before—and moving on to more advanced cases involving unknown sides and angles.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed progress by using number lines for addition and subtraction without prompting, having initially needed step-by-step guidance for every question.

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 Dandenong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mt Hira College.
