At a foundational level, it's most important to ensure the student feels confident with the material they're learning. As a first step, it's important for a tutor to assist in honing in and helping the student practice so that their skill level matches the basic requirements of the subject. Then the next most important thing a tutor can do for a…

Leave them with a proper process with answering questions under time pressure. Make learning if not enjoyable at least tolerable, as learning new things is much harder if you don’t have any interest in it. Make your teaching digestible for the student depending on their level of understanding - not too easy not too hard. Breaking down complex…

The most important thing a tutor can do is find the most efficient way to deliver concepts to their students. This will always change for each student, and so a good tutor has to be flexible and receptive to what works and what doesn't. The end goal really is to get them educated, and if that means fostering a strong friendly connection or simply…

For a tutor, the most important thing is to increase the curiosity of the student, for the subject that they are learning. Exams are important. However, at the end of the day I believe, the knowledge gained through the subject matter is far more important because it is something that can help to shape the future of the student. For example,…

Empathy: Understand how the student is feeling or understood a particular concept based on their behavioural and body language cues. This is because most students do not give explicit feedback.

One of the most vital things a tutor should do is ensure that he is understood teaching-wise and that he understands his pupils perfectly.

It is significantly…

I believe every student has the potential to become their best self. In addition to providing emotional support, I believe tutors should actively support students' dreams by helping them set clear and achievable goals. For example, the SMART technique allows students to track their progress, which promotes independence and self-directed learning.…

The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

Inside Essendon FieldsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Tyler worked on converting between percentages, fractions, and decimals using tables, then applied this understanding to worded problems.

In Year 7, Hayden explored persuasive writing techniques—like expert opinions and emotional appeals—and analysed how these are used in sample texts.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Damon focused on identifying and drawing different types of angles (right, acute, obtuse) and practiced finding area and perimeter for various 2D shapes using diagrams.

Recent Challenges

Sami needs to work on showing his working out for numeracy, rather than just the answer itself; this led to errors in calculation going unnoticed until late.

In Year 6 maths, Tyler's homework was incomplete due to illness but previously had been left unattempted—missing out on essential practice between sessions.

A Year 5 student tried sneaking a calculator into maths tasks; once it was removed, she showed better focus but struggled with signs when rushing.

The missed steps and incomplete revision have left gaps that resurface in later problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Essendon Fields tutor noticed Sami, a high school student, tackling a heavier workload than usual—he managed to complete 90% of his assigned work and showed initiative by asking to play a literacy game as a reward for finishing on time.

Meanwhile, Hayden (also in high school) demonstrated a real shift: after previously hesitating with unfamiliar vocabulary, he now reads new words aloud and creates strong real-life examples for writing strategies.

In primary, Charlotte began her session not knowing multiplication but finished confidently drawing out groups to solve questions like 5x5 and 3x7.

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 Moonee Valley Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Strathmore North Primary School.
