Tutor Bentleigh, VIC
I think the most important job of a tutor is to help the student, not just in answering questions, but by giving them a fundamental understanding of the content that they would be able to reapply to many other questions, particularly ones that are curveballs. Apart from that, giving them the belief that they can do well if they just apply…

I believe that as tutors, the most important thing we can do is to give students an opportunity to learn in a supportive and judgment-free space. Only when students feel comfortable to make mistakes can they progress academically and personally. Building strong relationships with students and parents with open and frequent communication is vital…

To help the student know that there is nothing the can’t learn it’s just that sometimes they need to hear it or approach it in different ways. It’s really important to not give up and to keep trying. I am patient and I am able to explain things in a simplified way. I also adapt well to different people so I can approach my tutoring in a…

I would consider some of the important things for a tutor to provide to a student are confidence and self belief. Giving a student the self confidence that they can do this will provide them with the tools to continue improving and getting better. I feel that from experience that most people who do not have confidence or belief struggle with a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer help which is tailored to the student's specific needs. This is not usually done in classes as teachers have a large number of students and cannot always pitch their lessons at the right level for everybody.

Whilst an understanding of the content is important, tutors should understand the way they present examples and what these examples include can stress students or cause them to have misconceptions. They should be willing to extend the understanding of students but understand the dangers of pushing a student "too hard." Personally I used to be…

One important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient, meaning a tutor should not rush the session along and cover another topic, if the student is not fully confident with what was already covered in the session. I believe this minimises stress for a student, as they are less likely to feel pressure to learn a topic they may find…

Inside BrightonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Archie revised area and perimeter of different shapes for a zoo project, using practical examples.

In Year 10, Reagan focused on polynomial operations—specifically division—and discussed approaches to Physics questions around atoms and radiation.

For Year 12, Jack worked through exponentials and logarithms by debriefing a quiz, then tackled exam-style applications involving log laws to strengthen understanding ahead of assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Methods student was "reluctant to rely on algebra to solve problems as he can do 99% of stuff in his head," which led to missed steps and made error tracing difficult—especially in polynomial division.

In Physics (Year 12), a student didn't complete set homework on worked examples for constant acceleration, meaning less time could be spent consolidating challenging concepts during the session.

For a Year 6 student, online lessons meant the tutor "couldn't see his working out"—making it hard to spot process gaps when tackling algebra. The result: real-time feedback was limited, slowing progress.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Brighton noticed one Year 10 student who had always hesitated to ask for help during sessions now openly stopped and checked his understanding when working through challenging synthetic division questions, instead of guessing as before.

In a senior physics session, another student made a breakthrough with Hubble's law after struggling previously—she explained the connection herself between mass-energy equivalence and EMR entirely in her own words.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to mix up fraction subtraction was able to solve all problems independently involving subtracting fractions from whole numbers without prompts and even checked his answers independently.

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 Brighton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brighton Grammar School.
