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. However, the ability to…

Build their confidence in not only their studies but also themselves. This includes comfortability. Students should feel confident in asking questions if they are unsure, requesting clarification of complex ideas, and acknowledging that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process. Additionally, develop critical thinking skills and…

I believe it is really important that a tutor is able to communicate well, encourage and understand the primary needs of their students. The tutor should then be able to think of many different and useful strategies to help the student learn. 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…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to be able to fix crucial gaps in a student's knowledge. And consequently, be able to assist the student to achieve full potential in school results. Being patient and understanding that if a student doesn't understand the subject after a few times practicing it, we can always try…

A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten. The tutor should also be an aid to the parents to ensure they are happy with progress. Overall,…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is be encouraging towards a student; often students get tutoring in a subject they are struggling in and are already mentally finding it difficult so it is critical a tutor positively encourages them and reminds them of their improvement. It is also very important a tutor listens to the…

The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student.

Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

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.
