Quick to answer question with confidence to lead the student to success. Apart from my strengths, that I do think are important qualities to have as a tutor, being reliable in terms of having an answer to a student's question is important. I am good at problem solving so will generally handle such a situation well, but experience can make…

I think a tutor must help a student understand their work. A deep level understanding is good as it can give new perspectives to their work and to their endeavors. A surface level understanding is okay for replicating pre-set answers for a question, but a deeper understanding allows the person to view the question in a different way and to give…

The most important thing I believe a tutor can do for a students is to instill self-confidence in the student because a student that is confident will be more resilient to adversity and be more likely to solve problems by themselves. My strengths would be that I have gone through the Australian school system and have encountered similar challenges…

I believe the key purpose of a tutor is not only to improve a students grades but also encourage intellectual curiosity. Due to the individuality of each student a personalised experience must be created by tutors, through adapting teaching methods and lesson plans, to stimulate the unique minds of students. Further tutors must recognize the…

As a tutor, the most integral thing for a student to succeed is their interest in studying. Unless a student does not want to learn and succeed, they cannot achieve this, so it is important for tutors to inspire and encourage students during sessions. Explaining concepts to students, listening to students, and making classes fun through enthusiasm…

Improving the confidence of the student is key. The student should evolve to have more trust in themselves and their abilities and be able to apply this. The most important thing I could do for the student is to help them achieve their own personal best and be motivated to achieve. I am a good listener. I apply this to pinpointing the key areas…

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,…

We have been very happy with Ahmed’s support and assistance with Bridgette’s maths progress this year. She has most definitely benefited from his tuition.

Inside Menzies CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 Isaac focused on analysing political cartoons for English, with close attention to scene analysis in The Princess Bride, while also revising key Finance concepts and using the finance solver for Maths.

Year 5 Daniel worked on times tables recall, practiced adding and subtracting fractions, and strengthened his understanding of 24-hour time.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Vien developed main arguments for a practice essay and refined sentence re-wording to improve clarity in preparation for upcoming SACs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student's essay planning slowed under time pressure, with the tutor observing, "He needs to think and plan faster on his own as well due to the time limit during the actual SAC."

In Year 10 English, over-long sentences muddled meaning and made arguments harder to follow.

For a Year 7 maths student, homework was often incomplete—meaning valuable class time was spent relearning previously covered content rather than advancing.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to attempt new subtraction concepts without prompting, leading to slower progress when unfamiliar material appeared.

In each case, these process challenges shaped what could be achieved in-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Menzies Creek noticed some real shifts this term. One high school student who'd struggled with structuring essays could now not only brainstorm relevant ideas but also spot when a paragraph became clearer after reworking it—something he found confusing before.

Another older student, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, began communicating openly whenever she hit a roadblock in maths and was able to work through new questions on her own by the end of the session.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to give up easily on tricky spelling words is now sounding them out first and even attempts unfamiliar ones aloud without prompting.

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 Emerald Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dandenong Ranges Steiner School - School Road Campus.
