A tutor should be patient and supportive. Every child sets his/her own pace of doing things and sometimes they might not get it right, so it is important to be understanding. I am very patient, it doesn't matter how long it takes for a child to understand a topic, because it is quite normal. I would not mind repeating it over and over. I am also…

Being understanding and open minded may perhaps be the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student. Every student has varying strengths and limits and thus following the same approach may not have the desired result. Thus, being patient and having more than one explanation may prove in handy and help make a student develop trust in the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to build confidence and independence. It is to not only to help them get the right answers, it is to make them understand the ‘why’ so they can think critically and solve problems independently. A good tutor also creates a safe space for their student to ask question without…

Most importantly, the tutor should be able to help the student achieve their desired academic results whilst under the tutor's tutelage, as this is the whole purpose of being a tutor. However, it is almost equally important to instill confidence in a student, that they will feel comfortable enough to step out of their comfort zones. More often…

I also believe it's about helping them fall in love with the subject not just memorise it. If they can connect with the topic and see its value or beauty in some way, learning becomes…

Local Reviews

All good very happy with Dorcus!
Christine, Mont Albert North

Inside Mont Albert NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Daniel focused on geometry, specifically learning to identify similar triangles by comparing side ratios and angles, as well as distinguishing congruent triangles using side lengths and angle properties.

In Year 5, Anna practised reading comprehension with texts like "Healthy Muscles Matter," answering questions and summarising key ideas.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Oliver strengthened his grammar skills by exploring contractions and common nouns through sentence exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, missing recent classes meant one student faced a test without having covered all required concepts. As a tutor noted, "it's easy to feel overwhelmed with limited prep time," and gaps in content made targeted revision challenging before the assessment.

In Year 5 writing tasks, skipping instructions led to avoidable errors—he would "jump into the exercises prior to reading", which cost time correcting simple mistakes instead of practicing new skills.

For a Year 3 student, incomplete homework built up; when trying to catch up, he struggled to keep pace and became frustrated during review sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Mont Albert North tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student's approach to geometry: after previously needing step-by-step guidance, she now independently spots hidden shapes and applies ratios to similar triangles with just brief prompts.

In a recent Year 8 session, a student who used to second-guess himself on grammar tasks has begun finishing punctuation exercises without hesitation, double-checking his work only once before moving on.

Meanwhile, a primary student surprised his tutor by expanding dot points into sentences during the lesson planning stage—something he'd resisted doing on his own until this week.

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 Balwyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Box Hill Senior Secondary College.
