A tutor must be able to understand how a student studies and provide emotional support whilst helping them understand confusing concepts in their studies. Different students study in different ways and forcing them to conform to one way to understand something is the same as teaching a fish how to walk. Emotional support is also another important…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be present as a support system, and a peer more than a teacher. If a student is coming for tutoring, they clearly want to improve in a certain area, or are just looking for supplemental support. We are not meant to replace their teachers in any way, but instead offer a helping hand…

A tutor should first and foremost build trust. When a student feels supported and respected, they’re more willing to engage and take risks in their learning and ask questions. I think it’s also important to tailor the teaching to the student’s pace and learning style, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. And beyond the subject…

A tutor must understand their students well.

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to learn so that they can become independent learners.

Make the student independent by teaching them how to learn and grab knowledge. The best thing would be making a student realise his abilitie, and making him feel confident that he/she can learn more and do more for herself.

The most important thing a tutor can do is get her students interested and excited about the subject. The goal is not to simply learn the concepts but understand them thoroughly.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student in primary or high school education is to instill confidence in them to become a curious learner.

A tutor shouldn't be the individual who would only be associated with studies and stuff.

Moreover, a tutor should be a guiding light to the student. - Communication - Experience -…

Inside AshwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aveen focused on mastering long division and multiplication, as well as practicing short division to strengthen calculation skills.

For Year 8, Liam worked through challenging ratio and rates questions from his exercise book and reviewed concepts with additional practice problems.

In Year 10, Sucheta completed revision for an upcoming probability test by tackling a range of practice questions and clarifying key ideas using her notes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student, while confident with algebra basics, often avoided writing full working for long division and negative numbers—"writing the working out!" was a frequent reminder.

In VCE maths, another student relied heavily on reference notes during SAC preparation but missed organizing all definitions and examples in one place; "just needs to ensure all definitions and example questions are written out in his reference book."

A Year 11 learner showed hesitancy starting unfamiliar questions without guidance, which slowed progress under time constraints. These moments left students double-checking mid-task or feeling unprepared when faced with new problem types.

Recent Achievements

One Ashwood tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate during exams now independently applies logic and the process of elimination to tackle tough maths questions, even under timed conditions.

In a Year 8 session, a student who once skipped writing out their working has started laying out each algebra step on paper, which helps avoid earlier calculation mistakes.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who struggled with subtracting bigger numbers last term was able to solve multi-digit subtraction problems almost entirely on her own after guided practice 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 Ashburton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ashburton Primary School.
