The most important thing for the tutor is To provide confidence to the student in himself and show him the way to how he can solve the problem himself. Make him self reliant. To be able to show the practical relevance and their usage using simple and easy to remember tricks and examples from everyday life. Another of my key strengths is to…

Just be student focussed. Make them think for themselves. It took me a long time in my personal education journey to learn this, but once I learnt it, I make sure my students don't make the mistake of learning passively. They need to get involved, think for themselves, and this way they'll not only retain what they learn, but grow more broadly…

Support is a major part of tutoring. Support and encouragement are the best ways to improve confidence allowing studentss to take more from school each day. As a student when you start to build that confidence from not feeling behind in class and the sense of achievement from really understanding the work it creates a 'snow-ball' effect and…

A tutor can make a student feel accomplished while also being able to give them a safe space to mess up and fail, while still letting them know that they are valid and they are succeeding. I think that I am patient but also challenging. I prepare the students for the big things before they even realise that they are ready for the…

A tutor can be the perfect guidance. Besides, a tutor should have abilities to understand the performance of an individual and carry on the task in an easy and correct way.

Understanding and learning about the child's needs and adapting your teaching style to best suit their needs. It is also important to develop a trusting relationship in which the child knows that the tutor is there to provide them with the best support they can offer to aid their learning.

Make the student feel safe is number one and to inspire a love for learning is the goal! Ensuring that the tutor presents them self in a way where the child is comfortable in your presence so they can learn and ask question is vital also.

For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

I believe there are several things a tutor can deliver to her students, the primary of which is to instill a sense of confidence and can-do attitude among them. This means my role will not only limit to a tutor but also a mentor, guiding my students on multiple aspects of their academic path. As a seasoned tutor and teacher of English, I'd say my…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is prepare them for the unexpected. While it's important that the student can understand and solve general problems they may be presented with, the only way to achieve an A grade is to go above and beyond what is expected of them. This can only be achieved if the student is…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive to a…

Inside Cumberland ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ella revised advanced algebra questions and explored real-life applications of ratios in preparation for a test.

For Year 10, Andrea worked through exponential equations and factorials, solidifying her understanding with targeted practice on these challenging concepts.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student focused on polynomials—identifying key features for an assignment—and began tackling trigonometry questions to reinforce graphing skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student showed reluctance to attempt graph sketching without guidance; "she did not do enough graph sketching," leading to gaps when tackling domain and range problems independently.

In Year 8 algebra, one student avoided writing out working, especially when unsure about substituting values—this led to confusion about what the question required and inconsistent analyses.

For a Year 6 learner, over-reliance on calculators meant basic multiplication facts weren't recalled automatically during quick-fire exercises.

A Year 4 student struggled with following written lines in number work, making errors harder to spot or correct mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cumberland Park noticed that one Year 11 student, who used to avoid difficult questions, now independently attempts challenging problems after just a little prompting and even handed in her assignment draft with no concerns.

In Year 9, another student showed a shift from needing constant guidance to confidently suggesting her own approaches—she now requires fewer prompts to answer algebra questions and explains her reasoning clearly.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled with multiplication is recalling tables more easily and now works through worksheets, recognising and correcting mistakes on her own.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Westbourne Park Primary School.
