A tutor is someone who can provide guidance and support for their student. While a tutor can be someone who can just teach content that the student doesn't understand I believe being a good tutor is more than just that. It is essential to make the student enjoys what they are learning so when they can have greater motivation to understand new…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is influence a child's attitude towards learning. A lot of kids are very demoralised with regard to the idea of learning itself, let alone individual components of a subject. Often times you hear "I can't do this", when really we should be teaching kids to say "I can't do this YET". That simple…

Show patience and be able to explain things in alternative ways. When a student is struggling to understand something, they can feel pressured or get frustrated or can feel depleted in the fact that they cannot understand a concept. So in my opinion, it is crucial to show patience and try to have the student understand by slowly going through…

From my years of soccer coaching experience, where I worked to improve the skills of a dozen different players of different levels, I learned that every student learns best in their own way and that is why tutoring is so important. In the classroom, everyone receives the same treatment and it is bound to be ineffective for many people. Thus, the…

Alongside the expected imparting of understanding of knowledge to a student, I think a good tutor can change a student's attitude toward a subject. While not every student may learn to love a subject, there is always room to see it from another perspective and realise that may it isn't all that bad or unmasterable! I believe I have a talent for…

I believe that a tutor's most important job is to build a student's confidence. Most particularly when a student is struggling, building confidence allows them to feel that they can try and fail, which is essential to learning. With more advanced students, confidence allows them to stretch themselves even further. I believe I have developed a…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student depends on the student. For some high-achieving students that are already confident this may mean better grades that allow them to follow a career path they've dreamed of, and for others the confidence a tutor can give them is more useful than any material they have learnt. To inspire and…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is build up their confidence and stop them from getting discouraged. I often find that if a student is having difficulties, they stop wanting to succeed in that subject. If you convince them that with a little bit of extra work they'll be doing really well, they often gain confidence…

Inside La Trobe UniversityTutoring 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.
