The most important thing is to build confidence of the student in their learning, and making them believe that they can do it without giving them pressure or distinguishing one from another for their abilities. It is also important for the tutor to create a comfortable learning environment where they don’t feel embarrassed making mistakes but…

I believe understanding the calibre of the student and providing constant motivation is something a tutor must importantly do for a student because quite often the individuality of a student gets lost in class and so the tutor needs to grab onto that individuality of the student so that they can not just progress ahead academically but also stand…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is constantly support them and provide them with positive reinforcement because if they are to lose motivation then they will not fully apply themselves and strive to learn more. So I believe that even for minor achievements students must be congratulated and encouraged to further improve their…

Sometimes children do not study subjects because the method in which they receive it is not interesting enough. My goal as a tutor is to make it interesting for the student and so that he develops a liking for the subject. This in due course can help a student identify his true potential. I have a good command over the subjects and can explain in…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to equip their student with a variety of different strategies and techniques, rather than teaching them how to solve a specific type of question, which is much more limiting. A full understanding of how the solution works, and why, is more important than simply memorising a solution. I am able to…

I think I have a great understanding of mathematics and I can communicate this in an easy-to-understand…

I believe that tutors must be good analyzers if they want to succeed. I mean that they have to examine the way students study and practice and even think. After a good observation, they can provide students with the tools with which students can improve their weaknesses. This can be different form one student to another one. Besides, Encouraging…

Strictly in terms of ATAR, to help students do and understand past exams so when the real exams come, they would feel less stressed and more "at home" with the topics being examined, whilst being able to manage time well due to them having done similar past exam questions as routine. But in terms of tutoring, actually helping the student…

Tutors need to be patient, not every student is equally as smart, or equally as attentive. You have to find a balance. A great example I think would be is planting a seed. After you put the seed in the ground, you can put all the water in the world, but it's not gonna grow into a tree in just one day, just like a student, you will break the…

a tutor has to understand how their students think. because every student has different thinking and level of understanding for one question. by knowing that, we can easily help students understand that question well. however, we need to teach by imagining that we are the students. so, we need to be patient and efficient to reach their…

I think to be able to cater to each sutdent individually is the most important thing a tutor can do. Each student learns and processes information differently. By understanding this the tutor can adapt their teaching style to suit that of the student. I think my experience in my job and as a student now studying teaching, I have the skills to be a…

Everything is going really well with the tutoring
Anthea, Mount Pleasant

Inside Mount PleasantTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Jack worked on measuring area, length, and perimeter as well as identifying geometric shapes and angles using hands-on examples.

Year 9 Ava explored linear equations and began investigating the properties of parabolas, including graphing curves.

For Year 11 Sam, lessons covered solving simultaneous equations by elimination and applying index laws to simplify algebraic expressions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, missing homework and forgotten classwork meant almost none of the previous lesson's work was retained—"made further teaching difficult," a tutor noted.

A Year 10 student preparing for an algebra test relied on notes instead of memorizing key formulas, slowing progress in rearranging equations.

In Year 11 Chemistry, not writing out working or using back-checking led to repeated errors when practicing stoichiometry and redox reactions.

Another senior maths student avoided showing steps during surds problems; this habit hid mistakes and cost marks on tests.

Confidence dropped after setbacks, especially when feedback wasn't used immediately.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Pleasant noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions; now, she's regularly checking her understanding during lessons and even clarified oxidation numbers without prompting.

In Year 11 maths, another student finally cracked simultaneous equations after weeks of struggle—he worked through several practice problems on his own and spotted his earlier mistakes straight away.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who'd previously hesitated with fractions is now comparing them confidently and finished all her assigned worded questions independently 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 Canning Bridge Express Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Pleasant Primary School.
