I believe a tutor's main priority should not be to achieve a certain mark or grade but instead, focus on improvement. Yes indeed grades are crucial but improvements, even minor ones, are catalysts to a student's motivation. A tutor must understand a student's learning habits and adjust to suit and be encouraging at all times. The main task of a…

A tutor must be able to not only teach the concepts to a student but to also teach the student how to learn and study outside of tutorial times. Tutors must also be able to teach how to maximise a student's time and how to study smart. The ability to understand the particular difficulties the student experiences and to be able to empathize with…

It is also important to create a comfortable environment where…

I think teaching the correct and fastest way of problem solving skill is the most important, especially in topics of mathematics.

The most vital thing as a tutor: 1. always give students the content that is appropriate to their current learning level. Students will quickly lose their interest or attention if the content is too easy or hard compared to their learning level. 2. build trust with students and their families. Young people tend to listen to a tutor who is…

A tutor should be polite and respectful towards all the students. Tutoring is all about gaining students' trust so they open up to you and talk about their problems. It is about being there for students and making learning sound fun. A tutor should be able to convince a student that whatever exercise sounds terrible initially, there is a simple…

Inside BurwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily practised multiplication and fractions, working through long division strategies to boost confidence.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on solving quadratic equations by factorisation and simplifying expressions, as well as exploring graph transformations using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia revised simultaneous equations and functions—solving systems both algebraically and graphically—to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on quadratic equations often omitted key steps in their written solutions—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—making it harder to identify mistakes.

In a Year 8 class, one student avoided homework and relied heavily on guessing answers instead of attempting the calculations, especially during worded problems.

For a Year 4 lesson, another child struggled to focus and frequently left tasks incomplete when practicing multiplication tables.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for exams did not attempt assigned practice papers outside lessons, resulting in less familiarity with time-pressured questions.

Recent Achievements

One Burwood tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely on step-by-step guidance now arriving at sessions with her own attempted exam questions, only needing small hints to push through tricky parts—she's even begun correcting her own mistakes before asking for help.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student who struggled to keep up with homework is now consistently completing tasks on time and presenting neater working out in maths, showing real ownership of her learning.

In a younger class, one child who often hesitated to start tasks has started counting by twos independently and no longer says "I don't know" right away when faced with new 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 Burwood Library and Community Hub—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burwood Public School.
