Being able to listen to what the student thinks and needs is the best way to understand the situation and therefore opt for the best path to follow. I tend to be patient and understanding of different people needs so that tutoring is not only delivering information in a one sided way, but more of a cooperative…

A tutor should realize that once upon a time, they themselves were a student who must have struggled with certain subjects and also fared well in certain other subjects. And they should realize from their own experience how much of a difference can a good teacher bring into the lives of students. A good tutor will leverage their own experience as…

The tutor must understand the student. Some students try really hard to learn but may fail to show successful results. The tutor must understand this, assure the student that he/she is making progress, and guide the student every inch of the way.

The most important thing that a tutor can do is help the student build a genuine understanding of the material, rather than just having them memorize the answers.

Inside Burwood HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ruby worked on strengthening addition and subtraction skills and was introduced to telling time using clocks.

For Year 9, Marcus tackled expanding algebraic equations and applied these in a maths assignment for practical understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Chloe focused on mastering quadratic equations through factorising and expanding exercises, making use of step-by-step practice problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on quadratic equations often skipped showing steps in algebra, which, as a tutor noted, "hid sign errors and made mistakes harder to find." This led to confusion when checking answers and slowed progress in later questions.

In Year 8, during work on probability exercises, a student struggled to identify whether the question required "A and B" or "A or B," often not reading test prompts closely enough—this left parts of answers incomplete.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner repeatedly guessed rather than trying her own working; when distracted or unsure, she would ask for help immediately instead of attempting solutions herself.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Burwood Heights noticed one Year 11 student has stopped trying to memorise formulas and instead breaks them down visually, which helped her finally solve problems on bearings by drawing coloured diagrams—a big shift from her earlier confusion.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student recently managed to catch all the errors she made on her algebra homework and explained why they happened, showing more independence than before.

In primary sessions, a Year 3 girl who used to say "I don't know" now starts counting by twos out loud without prompting or hesitation.

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 St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
