In my opinion, a tutor is most useful when marked improvement can be seen where a student struggles, often shown through grades or confidence. As a tutor I have loved giving students the feeling of empowerment when they both truly understand and can apply content I have explained. My people-person personality makes getting along with people…

I think the most important thing to do as a tutor is to amend the teaching style for different students. Motivation was one of the things that I and many of my peers struggled with, and so, the last thing I want is for my student to not be engaged in the content. One way to do this to include connections to the student's interests. In addition,…

Inside CarrumTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alex practised addition and subtraction with regrouping and explored rounding numbers to the nearest ten using practical worksheets.

For Year 10, Jordan focused on essay structure for text responses, including analysing themes in Of Mice and Men and planning a creative writing SAC based on class novels.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Maya worked through argument analysis techniques by reviewing teacher feedback on her Language Analysis SAC and preparing comparative essays using evidence from assigned texts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly broadened essay topics too much and defaulted to retelling the plot instead of addressing the specific prompt; as one tutor noted, "he needs to focus on the pertinent aspects of writing a review, rather than just re-telling the plot." This tendency led to less effective argument analysis and weaker essay structure.

In Year 7 English, another student struggled with unpacking texts and putting ideas into words, often hesitating due to low confidence—'her confidence in her abilities is quite low.' As a result, drafts stayed incomplete or vague, making teacher feedback harder to apply and progress feel frustrating.

Recent Achievements

One Carrum tutor noticed a big shift with Alex, a high school student who used to need lots of prompting to support his arguments; this week, he independently found multiple relevant quotes for his essay and had his topic sentences ready before the session began.

Another high school win: Talha, who previously waited for hints, is now picking out important quotes on his own and explaining why they matter in context.

In primary years, Asha—who once hesitated over maths questions—has started finishing her work quickly and accurately; last lesson she completed every task without needing reminders.

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 Patterson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Carrum Primary School.
