The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to guide them instead of doing the work for them. It is important for the students to feel that they have control over what they are learning and for them to be encouraged through feedback and practice. I am a very patient, determined and creative person. I can understand what a student…

A tutor should take responsibility for a student. The most important thing for a tutor is to maximise the efficiency during lessons and encourage students to ask questions whilst ensuring students understand “logic†instead of “how to answer the question†I believe I am relatively patient and organised as a tutor. I’m very timely as…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is; - Allow them to be apart of the goal setting process for their learning - Follow the Gradual Release of Responsibility method in scaffolding students, allowing them to feel ownership and create independence - Form a solid rapport with students, so that learning can take place in a fun,…

First and foremost, the tutor needs to help the student fully understand all the core concepts. Comprehending the underlying logic and reasoning in mathematical concepts, and the skill to be able to apply these to problems, are necessary for success in mathematics. After that comes exam or test-specific advice: what working markers expect, how to…

Without a doubt, I believe it is essential for a tutor to nurture and grow self-belief within their students beyond anything else. Self-belief is perhaps the most pivotal factor in deciding academic success as well as personal success, and thus I see it as an important quality for a tutor to develop . Whilst a tutor should also be avaliable,…

I think the most important part of tutoring is making sure students feel heard and supported, especially when it comes to the areas they find challenging. In a classroom with one teacher and many students, it can be hard to get one-on-one help. A tutor can fill that gap by providing personalised support and creating a safe space where students…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to find the best ways to help students learn. At the end of the day, tutors aren't there to teach students everything, but to assist them in their learning journey so that eventually, the students can feel confident enough in their knowledge to answer questions. Building confidence in young people is one…

I do think it's very important a student never feels judged or stressed from the pressure of learning, as that can taint their experience for a long time before they are comfortable again to engage actively. It's crucial tutors are understanding of how a student is feeling and supports them as much as possible in moments of confusion and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. A tutor's job is not to just teach the student, but to bring out the best of the student and a tutor cannot do that unless they listen to the student.

Inside KallistaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on adding and subtracting fractions, practiced interpreting 24-hour time, and continued to consolidate times tables knowledge through active recall and written exercises.

In Year 10, Vien worked on refining essay writing by rewording sentences for clarity and began preparing content for an upcoming SAC assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Isaac revised algebraic fractions in test preparation sessions and explored linear relations using practice problems from his recent classwork.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often avoided challenging maths problems, instead "prioritising known topics," which limited exposure to new skills and made harder questions in class feel daunting.

In VCE English, one student's essays were hard to follow because ideas weren't planned out, and their handwriting was described as "difficult to read," so teachers struggled to find key arguments.

A Year 10 student sometimes skipped homework or left revision incomplete—this meant valuable time was spent re-learning old material rather than progressing.

During timed tests, slow planning and indecision resulted in unfinished responses and mounting frustration.

Recent Achievements

One Kallista tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle extended essays now breaking down reading tasks independently and finishing almost every homework question on her own.

Another high schooler, after struggling with applying formulas, began identifying which ones to use without hints—completing his maths revision swiftly and fixing small mistakes himself.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once second-guessed his times tables started answering flash card drills quickly and even volunteered to solve new multiplication problems aloud during the lesson.

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