Duc Kiet
Tutor Derrimut, VIC
For me, the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student build confidence in themselves. Once they feel supported and encouraged, they are much more open to learning. A tutor should also guide students toward becoming independent learners by showing them strategies for problem solving and critical thinking, so they feel prepared to face…

Scott
Tutor Derrimut, VIC
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to get the student to understand a topic, not memorize a topic. For example, if I were to teach a student about the distance formula, I would explain how the formula was derived first. I believe showing a student a formula and not explaining how it was derived leaves a gap in their…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is be more than just an academic guide — they can be a mentor, sometimes even a support system second only to family. A tutor should not only help with studies but also understand a student’s personal struggles and create a safe, encouraging environment. Because without a positive…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student to me would be being able to provide extra 1 on 1 time with a student that they might not be able to have in a school setting. By having 1 on 1 time with a student, it is easier to teach them and make them understand the content. Also being able to be contacted by the student outside school…

Inside DerrimutTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
