Science Tutor Keysborough, VIC
I believe that the most important thing about a tutor is their ability to motivate and encourage a student in their learning journey. A tutor must be able to show enthusiasm and positivity towards learning, and rather than using rote learning techniques, to engage the student so that they can demonstrate longevity in their education.

Science Tutor Keysborough, VIC
I think as much as it has to do with academics, it has a lot to do with mental health and the overall well-being of the student, too. They don't necessarily have to tell a tutor anything; they just need to know that this is someone they could potentially confide in. This also helps boost academic progress.
And for a more technical aspect of…

Alice
Science Tutor Parkdale, VIC
A tutor must be willing to work with and adapt for each student. It is critical to not treat tutoring as one-size-fits-all - indeed many students may be getting a tutor because standard learning methods aren't working for them. It is also essential that tutors create a safe learning space where students are free to ask questions and give opinions.…

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.
