The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to encourage him/her to pursue a career in their liking and to empathise with their difficulties and teach them how to overcome them. It is also of utmost importance that a tutor must lower themselves to their understanding to teach a student. Passion to teach and a drive to progress as an…

Give them a safe space to ask questions and learn in a way they enjoy and are progressing in. There is no point in being over qualified and intelligent, but unapproachable and closed off. To truly understand a topic, you have to be able to explain it in a way that anyone could understand. I believe the most important thing you can do as a tutor is…

The most important thing of a tutor in my opinion is to foster genuine passion for learning for the students. I believe that the academic success of any student should be self-paced, and the tutor could only help them if they face a too-challenging problem or cannot come up with a plan to achieve their success. Passion to help students, I…

I think that being patient and empathetic are two of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Listening empathetically to a student can help a tutor to understand the way that the student thinks. In turn, the student feels understood and real improvements can be made. Patience is important for many reasons in tutoring. In my…

Having compassion. Being proficient in a subject does not guarantee that the student will understand as deeply as the tutor. Sometimes, techniques won't work, or the student may have problems outside of academics. Being compassionate will outweigh any other things that a tutor can do at the end of the day. I am able to compartmentalize well, and…

I think teaching students how to be independent is something tutors must do. Prioritizing things like active learning wherein students get to question things themselves, rather than being spoon-fed answers is important. Making them learn that they can find the answers themselves if they put in the effort is important. And obviously creating all…

A tutor can be kind and patient with the student and open to any kind of question, however basic it might be and not ridicule the child. The tutor can also repeat the same thing until the student had finally grasped the concept so that they are completely confident. Having grown up around teachers, I have learnt a lot from them. I have learnt to…

A tutor can change the approach of a student towards a subject- from pessimism to optimism, and make him/her excel in that subject.

For me it is important for tutor to be able to encourage and make the student enjoy learning. Because in order for students to learn faster, they would need to be willing to digest the new knowledge and information given by the tutor. Furthermore, it is important for tutor to look at a problem from many different perspective, because one point of…

A tutor must be able to secure a positive impression of the subject in the student's mind, regardless of how arduous the subject content might be.

Besides, as tutors, we must always advocate…

Inside South YarraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jamie worked on comparing and simplifying fractions, as well as converting between fractions, percentages, and decimals using targeted worksheets.

In Year 7, Jonas revised algebraic expressions and practiced calculating the perimeter of both regular and irregular shapes, also tackling pattern recognition with visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jamie focused on operations with negative numbers and explored probability through tree diagrams and statistics homework.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, Tommaso sometimes rushed through surface area questions in geometry, forgetting to include the base, which led to incomplete answers—his tutor noted, "don't forget adding up the area of the base."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student's small and unclear handwriting during algebra problems caused confusion, even for himself when reviewing work.

In Year 6 maths, Jamie hesitated on multi-step worded questions and often doubted her own working; this hesitation made it hard for her to check solutions confidently.

During a senior revision session, unfinished notes and missing formula sheets left one student unprepared for practice tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Yarra recently noticed Jamie, a high school student, moving from hesitancy with negative numbers to tackling calculations and multi-step equations involving negatives independently—a shift from needing frequent reminders just weeks ago.

Tommaso, also in high school, used to rely on prompts for statistics work but now finds Q1, median, and Q3 quickly and draws box plots accurately without help.

Meanwhile, Jonas in primary school surprised his tutor by not only distinguishing factors from multiples—something he struggled with before—but also simplifying fractions accurately by dividing common factors.

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 Prahran / Windsor Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ Church Grammar School.
