A factor that I consider to be profound as a tutor is developing an open and positive environment. I believe it's important for a student to feel that they can communicate with me regarding any matter, and that I'm there to help them as more than just a tutor! To add, another significant factor is organisation and communication. I believe a tutor…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are 1. to develop the interests in learning, such as changing the dull mathematics class into interesting storytelling games. 2. To provide useful problem-solving tips that students can easily pick up and apply. 3. Continuously give students sense of achievements by helping them…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them understand the concepts pertaining to the subject they teach, so that the students can understand the subject better instead of making them memorize stuff. I am a really patient and understanding individual. To teach or tutor anyone, one should be patient enough to explain the…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide them with the fundamental concepts and processes that they can use to solve problems and learn a topic. It is important to focus on a students understanding of a task so that they can apply that understanding to other similar tasks. My strengths as a tutor are in being…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to explain things clearly and be patient with students. A tutor should also make students feel comfortable so they can ask any questions without stress. Helping them understand step by step and build confidence is really important.

My target is to enable students to develop their own understanding of a topic so that they can apply it themselves to further questions without assistance. I am patient…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be patient, and to help the student learn to learn. It is an easier job to tell a student the correct answers than to help them understand how to get there. Taking the time to ensure a student truly understands each lesson and correction can inadvertently be the fastest way…

The most important thing is to make an individual understand the concept of the problem rather than individual problems so that they don't feel nervous when they a similar problem is presented in front of them. The whole point is that the child should feel comfortable around you and not hesitate to ask even the silliest questions, because no…

English Tutor Templestowe, VIC
Most importantly, the tutor should be able to help the student achieve their desired academic results whilst under the tutor's tutelage, as this is the whole purpose of being a tutor. However, it is almost equally important to instill confidence in a student, that they will feel comfortable enough to step out of their comfort zones. More often…

A tutor should be patient and supportive. Every child sets his/her own pace of doing things and sometimes they might not get it right, so it is important to be understanding. I am very patient, it doesn't matter how long it takes for a child to understand a topic, because it is quite normal. I would not mind repeating it over and over. I am also…

- Help them understand concepts in the best way they can know them. Learning is different for different student and every child is different. There are different ways in which a person will understand.

Inside Blackburn NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Carla worked on polynomials and transformations in preparation for an upcoming SAC, focusing on applying these concepts to test-style questions.

Year 10 student Julita tackled application-based calculus problems, especially absolute maximum and minimums, using practical scenarios to deepen understanding.

For a younger student in Year 5, basic subtraction was revisited along with practice on two-digit by two-digit multiplication to build calculation accuracy.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student relied heavily on the calculator and missed chances to learn more efficient methods—"could learn more efficient CAS practices," noted one tutor.

During Year 10 Chemistry, revision focused only on familiar metallic and ionic bonding problems; unfamiliar question types were avoided.

In a Year 4 session, incomplete homework meant multiplication tables stayed shaky, leading to confusion in multi-step division.

One Year 7 struggled with writing out working for algebra, preferring to solve "in his head," which made it hard to catch errors.

When tasks pile up or feedback isn't used, understanding lags behind what's possible.

Recent Achievements

A Blackburn North tutor recently noticed Carla, a Year 12 student, move from needing step-by-step guidance on differentiation to independently applying the quotient and product rules across unfamiliar calculus problems—she now checks her own work for errors before asking for help.

Meanwhile, Chloe in Year 11, who once hesitated with graphing functions, was able to confidently sketch piecewise graphs and spot mistakes in her SAC answers by herself.

At the primary level, one student who struggled with long division is now reliably setting out each step without reminders and can explain their reasoning aloud as they work through problems.

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 Blackburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Old Orchard Primary School.
