The most important thing that a tutor can do for their student is to ensure that under any circumstances they will be able to understand and perform as they have been taught. The wish to see them grow and willing to try different ways to teach the students is a strength i believe i have. I believe that i will be able to understand their efforts…

I reckon a tutor should actively listen to students. Understanding their struggles and learnings styles are keys to effective guidance. The latter is of extreme importance as everyone learns differently. I once had a student who struggled with why he wanted to learn English, be it professional or just casual language. We worked out together and in…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, promote genuine understanding, and foster independence. Confidence is key, as many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they doubt themselves. A good tutor helps shift that mindset. Just as important is making sure the student…

To really understand where the student is coming from. Far too often throughout my own life I have been frustrated with the way in which teachers and tutors treat you as just another student and bulldoze you with an answer before you've even managed to get you question out. To be able to adapt their teaching style to better suit the student. To…

The end goal of tutoring is to show the student a different way of looking at things and to transfer skills that would help them in the subject being taught, but also other subjects. Skills like problem-solving, and conceptualizing problems as smaller problems is a universal skill that can be applied to all sorts of topics. Helping them find their…

The best thing my methods tutor did for me in year 12 was by far to cut out the crap and stretched analogies. To learn things simply for what they are.

The most important thing a tutor can be is encouraging and patient, not everyone can grasp everything on their first run-through nor should they be expected to.

The tutor should always guide the student to do their lessons with minimum errors and time. So without remembering everything in the mind, they should have to focus the subject with the practical knowledge. Good communication and mentoring skills what I have earned in my last job.

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.
