I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make a student feel heard and valued. Giving them full attention and creating a space where they feel comfortable enough to ask questions and even make mistakes allows real learning to happen. I focus on building a personal connection so they trust the process, while also guiding them to reflect,…

To build their confidence in the subject, If they feel they are not able to complete a section and lose motivation they should be shown that they absolutely can, and to not give up.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student would be, firstly helping the student develop understandings of the subject at a fundamental level and then building up to a mastery from there. Secondly, being an assistant to help in any task they may deem to difficult to tackle alone, but not doing it for them, instead helping them find the…

One important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient, meaning a tutor should not rush the session along and cover another topic, if the student is not fully confident with what was already covered in the session. I believe this minimises stress for a student, as they are less likely to feel pressure to learn a topic they may find…

Through personal experience, even if the student improve their score by 1% from their last test, this is enough of an encouragement for them to push harder and let them know you will be their for them anytime when they are stuck or needing help.

I believe that teachers/tutors make the greatest impact on a developing child or young adult's mind. Apart from the child's family, a teacher/tutor has the most influential face to face contact with a student, where it be as a mentor or as a friend. Hence, I strongly feel that tutors have the opportunity and responsibility to educate and develop a…

Tutors can be a reason to guide the students in the right direction. Sometimes, a student might need a tiny little nudge to get them on track and tutors can be or are the right persons for that.

A tutor MUST be able to explain concepts to students in very different ways that allow them to understand a difficult topic.

Inside HighettTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Liam worked on algebra basics and worded questions, using step-by-step examples to strengthen his problem-solving approach.

For Year 10, Jasmine practised expanding and factorising quadratic expressions and revisited linear equations through homework review.

Meanwhile, in VCE Physics (Year 12), Alex prepared for SAC 1 by applying key concepts from motion and forces, focusing on calculations relevant to assessment requirements.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 10 student, he needs to improve his answer layout—how he writes answers on paper, as one tutor observed; unclear working made reviewing linear equations much harder.

In Year 11 Science, missing key notes and not summarizing lessons left gaps before assessments.

One Year 8 student relied on quick mental shortcuts in algebra but skipped writing steps, leading to lost marks when sign errors appeared.

A Year 4 learner often forgot their maths book at home, so practice with time-telling was inconsistent—confidence dipped each time progress stalled mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Highett tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to skip over worded maths problems now taking the time to highlight key details and draw diagrams before solving, which led him to finish several expansion and factorisation questions without any errors.

In another session, a Year 9 student who was hesitant about trigonometry started identifying patterns in angle problems on his own and applied rules from previous lessons with much more independence.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student made a clear leap by remembering both o'clock and half-past positions when telling time and even corrected herself mid-task when counting by fives.

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