Acctually be involved in their learning and improvement, that personal care goes a long way. Not brushing off inconsistencies, and persisting to teach a topic that a student may not well understand until they're able to understand it. I'm able to connect well with the student, and able to figure out their needs. I'm able to adjust accordingly and…

All students need a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them. That somebody is definitely their tutor. Tutors do not just give out answers, they want students to understand how to do the work on their own. Tutoring is a huge liability as your students look upon you as a mentee and a good tutor never lets them down.…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is have an interest in the topic themselves. An interested tutor increases the interest of the students meaning the student has more of an incentive to study and invest their time in a subject. Further more an important aspect of a tutoring job is preparation on the side of the tutor, to allow…

I consider creating and fostering a trusting environment to be important for a tutor to do for their student as it allows rapport to be established between them.

Despite many beliefs that having a tutor provides students content early, more resources and other whatnot; I believe the most integral thing a tutor provides students is hope.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is help students become independent learners. Instead of just giving answers, a tutor should guide students through the thinking process so they can eventually solve problems on their own. Probing the student towards the answer builds confident students. It also helps them to understand how to…

Adaptability – every student is different. For many reasons some students perform better than others. Ability to involve with students and understanding where they are lacking would allow me as a tutor to teach the building blocks of learning. This is in line with the hope that most students keep on a tutor or a teacher that can enhance their…

Inside DerrimutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emma revised quadratic equations and functions, focusing on graph interpretation and problem-solving; Year 10 student Lucas tackled trigonometry by graphing sine and cosine functions, along with a review of transformations to strengthen his foundation; meanwhile, Year 3 student Zoe practiced multiplication facts and solved word problems involving money using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, one student was "a bit lax with her homework," leading to missed practice on application questions and slower progress in trigonometry graphing.

In a senior English session, skipping questions when unsure meant some tasks were left incomplete and unattempted until prompted.

A Year 5 learner's written work was described as "hard to follow," with untidy layout making it difficult to check for errors—especially in multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly avoided challenging multiplication questions, returning only to familiar material and requiring frequent reminders to persist when tasks became unfamiliar or effortful.

Recent Achievements

One Derrimut tutor noted a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess at problems but now regularly asks for help when stuck, especially during complex homework—she completed nearly all tasks this week and initiated questions on her own.

A high schooler in Year 9 has started challenging herself by choosing harder questions for practice, getting them right on recent assignments after previously sticking only to basics.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to recite times tables can now confidently recall them aloud without prompting and tackled double-digit multiplication with less support than before.

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 Brimbank Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Derrimut Primary School.
