Tutor Doveton, VIC
The most important thing that I can do is to allow the student to learn with fun and without any stress. This can be done with a broad explanation on topics and giving examples from our day to day activities. Consequently, a student will able to catch up all the difficult theories easily. I have a good understanding about the math related subjects…

Tutor Doveton, VIC
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence and make learning feel achievable. A good tutor listens, adapts their approach to each learner, and helps students develop the skills and motivation to learn independently. I think my biggest strengths as a tutor come from my combined experience as a Pre-Service…

I am confident, patient and kind. I enjoy working with kids and I like learning and also knowing I've helped someone else learn something new. I feel I can pass on my motivation to students, as well as the importance of having a positive mindset- especially as you approach senior years in high school. I'm encouraging and I feel that I have the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them the joys of learning which not only improves their grades but also enables them to progressively and continuously yearn for a drive for knowledge that they can utilize in their ongoing future. Through my experience as a mentor as a Melbourne High School student, I was fortunate…

Being patient and flexible. Each child has a different learning style and speed. Therefore tutors need to be able to understand that and try new methods to teach if their current one is not very effective. My strengths as a tutor include being fun. I can teach students in a way that engages them, but I also know when I need to be firm. I am very…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to help them truly understand the material, build their confidence, and make learning enjoyable. It is about explaining concepts in a way that makes sense to them, encouraging them when they are struggling, and finding ways to keep them engaged and interested. A good tutor helps…

Believing in the students is the most important thing a tutor can do for their student. Some students may not believe in themselves and will need an extra boost or encouragement to believe they can do it as every student has the potential to do well. It all depends in the amount of motivation they have and how willing they are to put in the…

For me a tutor isn’t there to show student how to do the question but to guide them through it, make remarks on comment mistakes. Moreover an imporant aspect for a tutor is need to show student how mathematics impact our everyday life. When I was in high school, my friend always ask me questions on maths and physics. Therefore I know most the…

This allows them to have things mastered before their classes, allowing them to spend that time in the most effective way they see fit.

By helping them get a good grip of the foundation of the subject or topic. This is why I enjoy tutoring as well, as it lets me revise. I believe that with a good foundation the student will be more capable of catching on quickly to more harder topics and won't find it frustrating even if they initially struggle with it. Another important quality…

Inside DovetonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Biology with Priya involved exploring biomacromolecules, particularly nucleic acids, and beginning work on gene expression by reviewing transcription and translation.

For Year 8 Maths, Zara tackled computation with integers in preparation for her test and then moved into geometry, focusing on angles, lines, and the concept of pi as an irrational number using a variety of worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ayaan worked through introductory algebra topics including adding like terms and expanding brackets, practising distributive law problems to strengthen his understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 Chemistry student hesitated to elaborate on the reactions behind polymer formation, as a tutor noted, "more detail was needed to understand the processes." This slowed lesson pacing and meant key concepts weren't fully explored.

In Year 11 Biology, missing or unclear note-taking made it harder for one student to distinguish gene expression terms—notes were provided, but confusion lingered.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 General Maths student lacked confidence in tackling worded problems and often paused mid-solution; her uncertainty led to unfinished answers.

When time management slipped in senior science lessons, essential content like enzyme denaturation remained uncovered until the next session.

Recent Achievements

A Doveton tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from feeling overwhelmed by algebra to independently solving complex expressions using the distributive law—a big step, as they'd previously hesitated to try without guidance.

In Year 11 biology, another student who struggled with gene expression began taking detailed notes and confidently answered questions about transcription, showing a real leap in understanding.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to guess on times tables now recalls them easily and works through order of operations problems solo; by lesson's end, they completed all set questions without needing help.

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 Doveton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Family School.
