The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them become more confident in their learing and improve their study skills. My strength would be that I am persistent with my student and make sure I help them until they understand the contents. My weakness as a tutor would be interaction with…

I believe an essential aspect to include in tutoring is helping students to develop metacognitive and study skills. In mainstream education, the uniqueness of student learning processes is often neglected. When I tutor students, I highly value teaching the specific study skills that will be most effective for them, imparting not merely content…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop a strong sense of confidence in their abilities. One strength, I feel, is that I have had experience in studying a very broad range of subjects - from classical music theory to forensic science - so I have been exposed to a great variety of teaching styles,…

A tutor is someone who has been in the students' shoes and outgrown them. Throughout the tutor's journey through school, they gain knowledge and strategies which assist them through assessments. Although simply passing on the knowledge of the syllabus is important and an essential part of tutoring, it is the strategies regarding techniques of…

A tutor is not just someone whose only job is to formally teach a student. A student needs a true mentor and guide just as much as he needs a teacher. This is where an actual tutor's true responsibility comes to play. As someone who was in a high school student very recently, I am well aware of the problems students actually face. Whether it…

For me the most important aspect of being a tutor is that I must be able to maintain my students motivation. Somewhat like a personal trainer. Most clients hire a personal trainer not solely for their instruction but for their motivation and I belive this also applies in tutoring. Secondly a tutor must be able to explain concepts and ideas on the…

Changing a student's attitude to enjoy the subject and want to learn more about the subject is definitely the most important thing a great tutor can do. A good attitude is key to succeeding in anything, not just school subjects. Strengths: - I am passionate, love teaching and mentoring, and familiar with the subject - I am very patient and I…

Enhance students' confidence in their academic ability and empower them to achieve their dreams. I believe this is the most important thing as eventually, a student will cease tutoring, however, if you instil in students a positive mindset towards learning and a belief in themselves, they will be able to motivate themselves to achieve their…

Local Reviews

Bridgette was thrilled with her session with Ahmed this afternoon.

Inside KnoxfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Paige worked on building speed and accuracy with double-digit addition and subtraction, as well as practising mental maths strategies for complementary numbers to ten.

Year 11 student Lily focused on balancing thermochemical equations in Chemistry and explored the production process and environmental impact of various fuels.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel tackled problems involving definite integrals—such as estimating area under curves—and reviewed differentiation techniques using chain rule applications in preparation for VCE exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working ahead in VCE Maths Methods left some school assignment problems incomplete, which meant that gaps lingered and couldn't be addressed until the next session.

In senior Chemistry, one student often delayed sending lab reports to the tutor before class—"If Sarah can send me the report a day earlier, we'll save time for feedback"—resulting in less time to tackle misconceptions or extend her analysis.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's tendency to rely on hands or number lines during subtraction led to hesitation when faced with numbers above 20; this slowed mental calculation and caused uncertainty when new combinations appeared.

Recent Achievements

One Knoxfield tutor noticed a big shift with Sarah in Year 12 Chemistry—she's now coming to sessions ready with her own questions and even prepares materials ahead of time, showing far more initiative than before.

Another high school student recently started pinpointing and correcting her own homework mistakes during lessons, something she hadn't done independently until now.

In a primary session, a younger learner who previously hesitated with vertical addition is now breezing through problems quickly and rarely makes errors.

Last week, Sarah finished her practical report without needing any extra support from the tutor.

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