The most important thing a physics tutor can do for their student is relate to them. Everyone is different and learns in a different way. Hence, you must adjust your method of teaching for each individual student. Some people are auditory, visual or written learners, some like algebra, calculus, or trigonometry. Moreover, if you are understanding…

I believe the most important thing a physics tutor can do is build a student's confidence and self trust, as this often leads to improved performance. I make lessons engaging by involving students in each step, encouraging questions and critical thinking, and emphasising both independent learning and problem solving. I also give students breaks…

A good tutor should make sure that his/her student understands the essence and real life importance of the subject he/she is teaching. Nothing is stronger than a photographic memory, explaining things and concepts in a flow diagram or figure form will help students to retain more information. Every student is on a learning path, thats why they…

Personally I think the most important strategy a physics tutor can adopt is to try and give the student the space to figure out the answer themselves; rather than giving it to them. This will force the student to take an active approach to learning rather than passively listening to the tutor, which I have learnt can be tempting but is ultimately…

In my perspective, providing confidence is the most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student. The majority of people would hire a tutor is because of one's unsatisfactory performance towards the subject. Confidence would increase the understanding process for most of the people. Furthermore, to excel in the subject, the student has to…

I have a strong grasp of the sciences and English,…

The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is inspire them.

A tutor should assist a student to develop the skills of a critical thinker and independent learner.

In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a physics tutor's action, as it is…

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.
