I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is make difficult concepts feel easier and less overwhelming for a student. It's also really important to encourage them and remind them that they are capable of understanding the material, especially when they are feeling stuck or frustrated. I think a good tutor should create a comfortable…

I think one extremely important thing a tutor can do is to adapt their teaching to the individual needs and abilities of each student, and adapt themselves to the student, not force the student to adapt to them. This involves listening to the student and observing how they work and then responding to those things. Another extremely important thing…

Passion and patience will always come up first. No matter how good the strategy is, if a tutor doesn't have passion on teaching and patience to get along with students, students won't be able to improve efficiently. As a previous special education teacher, and currently a speech pathology student, I can understand that being patient plays an…

Maintaining the cognitive load. When tutoring, a tutor needs to go slow and work first on the things that students are finding challenges. Providing resources to aid the student in their learning. All of this prevents a cognitive overload. Listening and showing respect. Tutoring is about understanding that someone is needing help and being there…

Tutors need to be patient, not every student is equally as smart, or equally as attentive. You have to find a balance. A great example I think would be is planting a seed. After you put the seed in the ground, you can put all the water in the world, but it's not gonna grow into a tree in just one day, just like a student, you will break the…

active communication will enable the tutor to understand the student's issues, strengths, weaknesses, and effectively plan the lessons for student's need. In addition to that, a clear and simplified explanation of subjects will not only enable understanding of the topic, but also could develop an interest of the subject in the student. Once the…

Inside ClaremontTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Ethan focused on exponential functions and polynomial equations, including practice with graphing and algebraic manipulation.

In Year 10, Mia tackled the circle theorem and polynomial division, working through geometric proofs alongside algebraic long division problems.

For primary support, Year 4 student Tilly worked on multiplication strategies for two- and three-digit numbers as well as area and perimeter calculations using real-life worded examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student found it difficult to slow down and write out all variables when approaching physics questions, leading to confusion over what was being asked. "It is always best practice to slow down and write down all your variables prior to starting any working out," one tutor observed after a rushed attempt left key steps missing.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student sometimes skipped back-checking answers in algebra, which meant sign errors weren't spotted until much later.

In primary maths, a Year 4 student struggled with lining up numbers during addition and subtraction, resulting in misplaced digits and basic calculation errors.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Claremont recently noticed some great changes: one high school student who used to rush through tests has started slowing down to carefully read each question, which helped him spot and fix errors he previously missed.

Another older student now uses pen-to-paper and back-checking strategies without being prompted—just a few weeks ago, she needed reminders for these steps but now applies them on her own when tackling complex worksheets.

In primary sessions, a Year 5 girl who struggled with her 7 times tables is now able to answer random multiplication questions quickly and confidently.

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 Claremont Community Hub & Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Methodist Ladies' College.
