The tutor should always understand what the students need. Weaknesses, strengths and learning style need to be identified so that the tutor can best tailor their learning to play to their strengths and work on their weaknesses. A good tutor should also build confidence in a student by encouraging and motivating them to be both excited about…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is create an open and comfortable environment for their students. I believe that if a student isn't afraid to make mistakes or ask questions, they can become more confident, approach problems independently, and find better enjoyment in doing the work that they might originally find dull and tedious.…

A good tutor for my does not just limit themselves in getting students to familiar with the exam format and get high grades, obviously that’s a crucial role. However, building foundation knowledge for their students, explaining explicitly things that school teachers do not have time to cover for them is truly what’s more important. I do think…

If any topic is particularly difficult, it is important for a tutor to make it as easy as possible for the student to understand the content. If the student is struggling, being understanding of their feelings and concerns is also important. As a tutor, I enjoy organising my content for the week to help students engage and make the most of their…

Apart from helping them with the subject and clearing doubts i believe sometimes students need an extra nudge or motivation when the subject exhausts them. I am a good listener and can provide advice when required so that students can cop up with academics. I am very patient and resilient, which makes me susceptible to students pace and design the…

Look at every students need. A stigma is around unconsciously that teachers only give priority to students who ends up getting good grades. I highly disagree with that, people who needs more help are the students who are constantly failing the subjects and does not have a single clue what is going on in the class. I believe the best thing a tutor…

Guide, but not tell.

Inside BurnleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sam worked through factorisation in algebra and solved chemistry mole calculation problems, using step-by-step examples to clarify each process.

For Year 10, Matt focused on structuring English essays by embedding quotes effectively and linking evidence to themes in "The Golden Age."

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Yasmine practiced plotting linear equations on a graph—finding coordinates and understanding why these equations form straight lines—by working through visual exercises together.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student in Mathematics often avoided writing out equations and working, relying on mental calculations—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors. This made it hard to spot where his reasoning broke down.

In Year 11 English, a student repeatedly left homework incomplete and didn't use highlighters or mindmaps for essay planning, missing opportunities to structure arguments more clearly.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 struggled with consistently bringing required books to lessons, disrupting focus at the start of each session.

During a Physics assignment in Year 12, brief answers were submitted without detail, limiting depth and understanding.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Burnley noticed Matt now completes all his English homework ahead of time and uses planning tables and flash cards to organise ideas—previously he'd only write brief notes and needed prompting.

In Year 10 Biology, another student who once hesitated with project tasks started volunteering creative ways to build a plant cell diorama after some encouragement.

Meanwhile, Yasin (Year 12) is showing real independence: instead of waiting for solutions, he's begun applying physics formulas by himself during lessons and checking his own answers before asking for help.

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 City of Boroondara Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College (Victoria) - FFV Burnley.
