I think the most important things tutors should do are fostering independent thinking in a student rather than tutors telling them all the answers, assisting students with tricky concepts, monitoring students progress and been friendly and patient with their students. My strengths as a tutor are assisting my students to understand difficult…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them see past exams and assessments and really understand what the concepts are and why they are studying them in the first place.

Being patient - Different students have different learning abilities. It is vital to have a tutor that is extremely patient, and trials different ways of explaining a concept to their students. Being resilient - Not giving up a student if he/she is not making progress, understanding that learning is a long journey. Different students will make…

Be patient and go through the questions very clearly and slowly until they understand the concept in depth. I also think teaching the students content ahead of the class will ensure they can have a better understanding when they get taught it in school and already know the foundation I'm patient with students and will go through questions slowly…

The tutor must be able to understand how the student learns and should be able to change their teaching style according to their student. In addition, a tutor must have a strong knowledge of the concepts and be willing to constantly improve themselves as the curriculum and the technology used in school changes. Being patient is also a crucial…

Students who need a tutor have different problems. They may be not so confident with their self-study or their academic performance. Therefore, the most important things I would try to deliver to my students are my strategies and plans which will be tailored for each of them to reach their own goals and meet their own needs.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to promote confidence in their learning abilities. I have found that most students have no problems in actually learning the material itself, but rather have low self-esteem in themselves which negatively impacts their learning. Once you show them that they can do the work, it…

I think a tutor's job is not just to give answers, but to help the student actually understand the concept. It's also really important to encourage them, because confidence makes a big difference in math. If a student feels supported, they learn much better. I think my biggest strength is that I'm very patient and I explain things in a simple way.…

A crucial aspect a tutor can provide for a student would be shaping a student's inner monologue. Many students who may need tutoring aren't always lacking in knowledge, but rather lacking in confidence, thus having a tutor to reassure and encourage them to develop upon their self-belief. Furthermore, another important aspect would be providing…

Inside Burwood EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex worked on two-digit by two-digit multiplication and progressed to division with remainders, often tackling worded problems for extra practice.

In Year 11, Keshara revised domain and range questions from the Methods syllabus and completed exam-style problems on transformations, including hyperbolas and parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Arjun focused on chemical analysis techniques such as IR and NMR spectrometry, alongside interpreting mass spectrometry data through targeted textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths Methods, a student "forgot to bring his SAC for review," missing a chance to address feedback before the next assessment.

In Year 8 English, homework was incomplete and spelling lists left at home, which meant less progress on writing structure and vocabulary.

A Year 12 Chemistry student's practical report was difficult to follow due to disorganised notes and uncollated results, slowing down her analysis.

Meanwhile, in Year 3–4 Maths, several students continued relying on finger counting instead of memorising times tables—"he still used hands for addition," one tutor noted—which made mental calculations slow during problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

A Burwood East tutoring session saw a Year 3 student, previously hesitant with larger multiplication problems, now requesting to tackle three-digit by two-digit questions and confidently working through each step without relying on memorisation alone.

In Year 11, one student who used to wait for explanations has started proactively asking questions about complex transformation topics, using this initiative to deepen his understanding—especially noticeable during recent exam preparation.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 biology student put together her own practical report-writing guide after struggling with structure earlier in the term, now referring back to it independently while planning new assignments.

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 Vermont South Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burwood East Primary School.
