To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

I believe in preparing a student to handle situation which the world throws at any point of time. A child should be prepared for every situation and should develop organizational, time management skills. As a tutor, I work at these skills as much as at the curriculum to create confident, independent learners. I believe my greatest strength is…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic. If you know the student well enough, that student will begin to enjoy studying and being able to perform great academically. I believe that is the greatest…

I'm convinced learning is an ongoing process and as a tutor, I hope to contribute the community by making a difference in the lives of young people. For me, this involves encouraging others to learn as a passion rather than an obligation, so that others can also love learning as I do. I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

I would have to say the tutor would need to be driven. If the tutor doesn’t have that drive how will their student show any motivation or show the knowledge they’ve gained I think I’m quite patient. Patience is always ideal when tutoring as something cannot always be fully understood. Additionally I have been told I’m very understanding…

A tutor can provide personalised teaching to students that would not be available in a big classroom environment. A tutor also provides a safe space for students free of judgement where they can ask questions they might not get the chance to ask in class. Tutors also relate to the students and instill a level of confidence that truly improves…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them build a solid understanding of concepts, so that they are able to apply those concepts in all different situations. Aside from this, I do believe it is very important to be able to teach students ways to learn and figure things out by themselves, so they will not always…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping them either to solve their queries and/or to further understand a topic in the respective subjects.

There is no point trying to avoid it when if you work hard enough and practice enough with the right help, you will be able to solve problems on your own.

The most important thing will be to help the student find his/her interest in the subject.

It'll be difficult for them to reach their potential in the subject. My strengths would be ability to…

The most important things I can do for a student is teaching them how to learn and study more efficiently as those are more important than helping them to solve specific questions.

Inside Ellen GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sofia focused on solidifying multiplication skills with the column method and tackled basic division, also practising quick mental maths.

In Year 9, Lucas worked through expanding and factorising binomials using the FOIL method and reviewed solving equations for x by rearranging algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Genevieve revised factorising quadratic equations and applied the null factor law in preparation for her upcoming maths test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student frequently guessed answers in algebra without first unpacking the question, as a tutor observed, "lots of guessing." This led to confusion and repeated errors.

In Year 10, another learner's written work was difficult to follow; untidy layout made it challenging to trace mistakes during trigonometry tasks.

For a senior student working on compound interest problems in Maths Methods, there was heavy reliance on calculators—missing "x" in calculations—and inconsistent attention to unit conversions.

A Year 5 student avoided setting out division steps clearly, so small errors went unnoticed until review. The lack of clear working delayed real progress each lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Ellen Grove tutor noted a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess now regularly talks through her thinking out loud and asks for help as soon as she's unsure, making her approach problems more actively.

A high schooler who'd often skip checking his work is now pausing to fix errors before submitting, showing he's taking ownership of his learning rather than rushing ahead.

In primary, a Year 4 student who previously needed guidance for multiplication has started working out x4 problems by herself and quickly distinguishes positive from negative numbers just by glancing at the question.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forest Lake State School.
