Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can lead the…

Understand them and their learning habits. If a tutor does not understand their student, they can never excel at tutoring that student or almost anyone. Helping a student grow and evolve. A student can be thought of as a growing plant. They need the correct amount of sunlight and water to grow. Similarly students need the right amount of help if…

I believe that developing the learning capability of the student is the best thing a tutor can do because a tutor is only going to be there for a short run however their learning ability is going to assist and stick with them forever. I always make the students aware of what kind of questions can be asked while allowing them to take their time and…

Such qualities include, understanding the student, being supportive of them and their emotions and ensuring the student is effectively…

I think that a tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning techiques i.e.…

The first and foremost thing a tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done by…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen. Their curiosity is ignited, and they are more likely to ask questions in class and read additional texts about things that interest them.…

The best thing a tutor can do to a student is to make the subject more interesting so that the students are motivated to learn more. This in turn has a chain effect on improving the standard of the student. My strengths are the ability to identify the student's needs, flexibility, adapting to the situation and dedication.

As a tutor, it is very important to be a source of encouragement for each student equally and make them believe in themselves to be successful(success-as defined by each person and not according to the standards of the general public).

It is very important the tutor brings a sense of fun to the lesson, to urge the student to want to learn…

A tutor should motivate students to want to achieve their best and provide them with opportunities and knowledge on how they can achieve this. A tutor should create a supportive learning environment where the student can thrive and feels comfortable to ask questions. A tutor should teach their student/s how to be a self-directed learner, as this…

I would say the most important thing is connecting with the students and making them feel understood. As long as there's mutual respect, it becomes a lot easier to guide them.

Not all students are modelled the same way. Some are able to learn by studying the books while others require a lot of practice. Hence I believe that teaching the student how to study based on his or her strengths is the best thing a tutor can do and I will strive to achieve that at all costs. I spend a lot of time communicating with the student…

Inside Dover GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jessica focused on expressing decimal numbers as percentages and converting fractions to percentages, along with simplifying ratios.

Year 8 student Lucas worked through NAPLAN numeracy practice, specifically ordering decimal numbers to three places and exploring the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages.

For Year 6, Chloe revised equivalent fraction families using a dice game and practised multiplication and division by 10, 100, and 1000, also reinforcing division facts for the number 7.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student, when asked to label place value headings (hundredths to Hundred Thousands), left sections incomplete and mixed up the order—this led to confusion in decimal subtraction later that lesson.

In Year 10 algebra revision, "his understanding of the basics needs to be refreshed," but he skipped feedback on fraction division and didn't attempt practice questions, relying instead on worked examples.

During a senior session, one student appeared stressed and "on edge"—he avoided tackling new equation types independently and preferred watching online walkthroughs over active problem-solving. This meant key skills for upcoming assessments were not fully developed or practiced.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dover Gardens recently saw a Year 9 student, Kai, who'd struggled with algebra, pick up the rules for fractions and confidently use new methods to isolate variables—he even tackled adding and dividing to get x on one side without hesitation.

In another session, Brooke (Year 10) chose to work through complex algebraic equations by hand instead of relying on her calculator as she had before.

Meanwhile, Jye (Year 5), who was once hesitant about reading aloud, now uses word attack strategies when faced with unfamiliar words and self-corrects while reading narrative texts.

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 Cultural Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stella Maris Parish School.
