A tutor should be an educator, a mentor and at times, a comforting friend. A tutor must first and foremost teach, and grow the student academically through teaching of new information or the reinforcement of old skills. A tutor can also mentor a student, all for their growth and development outside of just the classroom. This can come from a…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is be patient and supportive. Different people learn different things in different ways, and at different rates. A tutor must cater for that, and not skip over important things that students have not yet understood. A tutor must use the method of explaining/teaching that students will understand. I…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them understand anything they are having trouble with, as that is the main reason why students get tutors. The ability to make someone understand something they do not is a major key because it instills confidence in the student and ultimately leads to them solving the…

A tutors goal is to make sure the student understands the subject completely, as well as prepare them for any tests/exams. This includes teaching all the content as well as setting practice questions and exams for them to apply their knowledge. The tutor must know the students learning speed, so that the student doesn't feel too rushed or too…

I consider adaptability to be one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Yes, some students will understand off the bat, but others need explanation in a different way, whether through pictures or schematics. I will always do my best to adapt my teaching style to a student, so they can best understand the content. This does not…

Definitely detailed explanations on the process, so a full understanding is uncovered for the student.

I think it is important for tutors to make sure students learn the content instead of just memorizing things. This will set them up for future success in their studies. For a tutor to do this, they will need to be attentive to the students strengths and weaknesses, and then uniquely tailor sessions for them. Since I grew up in Australia, I am…

I think the most important thing would be to take interest in each student. I've found that when you take interest in a student, you care about them which helps everything else fall into place. It allows you to be patient and teach them effectively until they understand, as well as a more genuine approach which tends to help them to be more…

Inside Wantirna SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zoey worked on rearranging algebraic expressions for graphing and solving quadratic equations, as well as reviewing LCM, factors, and long division to prepare for her non-calculator exam.

In Year 9, Amy focused on surface area of 3D objects by tackling textbook questions and practicing backchecking techniques, along with revising atoms and isotopes for an upcoming science test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia strengthened her understanding of financial maths concepts such as compound interest and depreciation through targeted homework review and real-world application problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student in maths often avoided writing out full working when facing unfamiliar problems, leading to jumbled steps and confusion; as one tutor noted, "her working out was sometimes incoherent because she hesitated to write unless sure."

In Year 10 financial maths, missing a single tax calculation step meant every subsequent answer was affected.

For a senior student tackling algebra and trigonometry, revision focused mainly on easy material instead of challenging questions—this limited their ability to adapt in new contexts.

During an English task, uncertainty about how to start an essay caused significant delays before any writing began.

Recent Achievements

One Wantirna South tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously missed simple marks due to untidy maths writing is now consistently setting out solutions with clear steps and correct units, which has helped avoid small but costly errors.

A Year 8 student, after struggling to rearrange algebraic expressions for several weeks, began applying the techniques independently this week and even tackled new graphing problems without prompting.

In a recent primary session, a Year 4 student who used to guess answers in long division now talks through each step aloud and checks her own work before moving on.

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 Knox Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wantirna South Primary School.
