Listen to students and figure out their problems. Build a very friendly relationship with them. I have a lot of patience to even repeat the same explanation as many times as the student needs in order for them to understand. I can adapt to the needs of each student and communicate well with them. I am also very good at my time…

I believe the most important role of a tutor is to ensure that the student truly understands the concepts they are learning.

To achieve this, it's…

A good tutor should be flexible and adapt to the student's needs. Rather than having a 'one formula suits all' attitude, a tutor should build on the student's strengths and address their weaknesses.

Inside BraesideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Grace focused on adding fractions with different denominators and expressing percentage change, using visual aids to clarify concepts.

In Year 10, Jack worked on factorising trinomials—including both monic and non-monic forms—and used the quadratic formula to solve challenging equations.

For VCE Further Maths, Mia revised matrices through practice worksheets and tackled financial maths and data analysis questions aligned with her current school topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 Physics student relied on prompts to recall electromagnetism formulas; as one tutor noted, "he only vaguely remembered equations unless shown," which made tackling unfamiliar problems slow and uncertain.

In Year 11 Methods, another student attempted all steps in their head when rearranging algebraic equations, but skipped showing working—leading to hidden sign errors and lost marks.

A younger student in Year 5 found switching between Bitpaper and Zoom on the iPad distracting, erasing annotations mid-explanation instead of focusing on content.

These process obstacles left students second-guessing themselves during assessments and slowed progress through more advanced topics.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Braeside noticed a real shift with one Year 10 student who previously struggled to connect algebraic concepts—she now independently completes quadratic factorisation and even plugs her solutions directly into equations without prompting.

In Year 12 physics, another student who was hesitant about applying formulas is now confidently answering questions involving magnetic fields, accurately using the left-hand rule and explaining split ring commutators.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has begun finishing all her homework with neat formatting and started back-checking her own answers—a big step up from last term's reluctance to review her work.

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 Kingston Information & Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Louis de Montfort's School.
