As briefly mentioned in the question above, the most important things tutor can do for a student is to not make the experience another class that "drags on". Interacting with the student on a level where he/she can enjoy or be intrigued by the work is essential. To do this, you cannot let the theories from a textbook stay as theories.…

I think the three most important things a tutor can do are understanding the student’s specific learning needs, patiently supporting students as they get to grips with a process or concept and knowing the subject content and study design. These priorities ensure that the content of tutoring sessions is relevant, delivered in a sensitive timely…

Spending time and resources on improving myself so that the I as a tutor can make the student understand better. Being honest, patient and a good listener adds up to it.

A tutor can inspire the students and also make them love a subject/ topic. They can boost their confidence in what they learn. I think I have the high amount of patience required to repeat oneself until the student comprehends a new concept. I also find it easy to connect to the other and stop from burdening a student with too much information.…

Increase the motivation for students would be the most important thing for a tutor can do. Without motivation, a student will not learn himself/herself. Therefore, a successful teaching would be rising the interest for the students. As i have worked as a private tutor for a few years, i am patient to teach my students. Also, i can use the simplest…

The most important thing I can do for students in to have effective communication skills. If you can not tailor your communication in order for your student to grasp what you are trying to teach them then you can not become a well rounded tutor. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as bad students, just bad tutors/teachers. I am an active…

In my opinion, one of the most important things tutor can do is to make his students understand the core concepts behind what they are studying, rather than just helping them memorize facts or processes. Offering emotional support along with academic guidance can significantly impact a student's willingness to engage with the subject matter. I…

Inspire the student to enjoy learning. Try to impart an understanding of the concept, not just how to do some things from memory, this will enable them to work out any question that is thrown at them. I can identify with the mindset of students. Where they are at in their understanding of the subject and how to bring them to the next level. I am…

In my personal opinion besides teaching a student what is in the unit/study guide, a tutor should be taking responsibility in creating a fun learning environment and encouraging and motivating the students to be confident.

The best thing a tutor can do is to listen carefully and empathise with their students. Learning can be very difficult and it is very helpful, for a tutor, to realise that each individual has their own learning style, motivation, and attitudes towards any subject. Most importantly learner's wellbeing should be an important factor when tutoring. I…

I consider encouragement, feedback and trust to be an important part of tutoring. The teacher should support the learner to become more confident in their own academic capabilities, giving them timely and accurate feedback. Also, it is just as important to build positive relationships with your students so they can come to you with their problems…

Local Reviews

Tutoring seems to be going well. I think both Matthew and Abbey are starting to settle into a routine. Abbey has started to apply some of the methods Matthew has shown her to school work. She has come home from school a couple of times now, saying she was asked a question during maths time and got it right. Which, of course, she was very happy about! Within the next few weeks, I will receive Abbey’s report for semester 1. I will show Matt, so he has even more understanding of her needs. I’m looking forward to seeing what they achieve in the coming months.

Inside SeaholmeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Madison worked on consolidating skills in Pythagoras' theorem and solving worded problems involving side lengths, as well as applying trigonometric ratios to find unknown sides in triangles.

For Year 8, Rohan focused on expanding and factorising binomial expressions using distribution methods, along with factorising by grouping.

In Year 5, Emily practised rounding decimals and rounding numbers to significant figures for improved accuracy in calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often relied on a calculator to identify gradients and intercepts, which limited her grasp of linear equations—"she could solve for x when y=0 but needed the calculator for reassurance."

In Year 12, one learner hesitated to show algebraic working, sometimes erasing steps rather than leaving mistakes visible; this made it harder to catch sign errors in factorisation.

For a Year 5 student, untidy written work during division tasks led to misaligned digits and confusion.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 struggled to keep track of materials and occasionally forgot completed homework, causing last-minute stress before lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Seaholme tutor noted that Aida, a Year 11 student, moved from feeling uncertain with linear graphs to confidently recognising and plotting them using the y=mx+c rule; she also started developing her own plan for tackling upcoming assessments.

In another session, Madison (Year 10) showed new independence by asking targeted questions about trigonometry, then applied trig ratios herself to find unknown angles—something she previously hesitated to attempt without guidance.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once guessed at times tables now talks through problems aloud and works out new multiplication facts by building from ones she already knows.

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 Altona Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seaholme Primary School.
