I believe this is the same as what I enjoyed. The most important thing in being a tutor is making a fun learning environment for the student so they can enjoy learning and learn much more efficiently. I feel that majority of the time the pressures of school can be quite daunting for students so I believe that not only do we as tutors need to help…

A tutor should be able to adapt their teaching style and tailor it for their students. The lessons should be interactive and engaging so the student is always focused on the class. As a tutor, I would adapt to the students' needs and ensure they are provided with all the resources they need, in order to thrive in their…

As a tutor we need to understand that every student have their own requirements. Upon understanding these needs we need to approach the student with a specific teaching style. It is also important that the student not only understands the material that is taught but also understands to apply the knowledge gained to practical instances. I can…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to motivate them. The process of learning can never be linear. Some students may understand the concept just by having to listen/read the explanation once. Some may understand after going through examples. And others may struggle with the concepts even after going through the…

The most important thing a tutor can offer is support and patience. A lot of students lacking the confidence think that they are not able to understand maths by themselves but with a tutor's help and support they can build on that confidence and with time realize they are fully capable by themselves. I believe my strength lies in explaining one…

As a tutor, I believe it is important to improve their weaknesses so that they are a more well-rounded student. A tutor should also teach students a problem-solving mindset which can be applied to any subject, making them better academically in all fields. Having just graduated, I have in-depth knowledge of how VCE works and what students can do…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence, create a safe space where they feel comfortable asking questions and make sure they truly understand the material rather than memorising. This makes sure that they can apply their knowledge independently and also develop skills that they can carry forward.…

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.
