I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to always be there for them. As teachers/tutors, it is not all about educating them in core subjects but being there for them through rough times. We have all experienced what it is like to be a student and sometimes they go through some difficult situations and I believe that…

If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is really spend the time and be patient with the students' needs to improve on the skill they may be struggling on.

The most important thing a tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence.

The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to make them realise that they have much more potential than they think. Tutors have the opportunity to show and help students to gain confidence in themselves and this will remain with them not only during their schooling years, but as they grow and face many challenges in life.

I think the most important things are building trust and focusing on the student as an individual. If a student doesn't feel safe to ask questions or make mistakes, they'll hold back and won't progress as well. Beyond that, I think it's really important to understand what each student actually needs. Getting the content right matters but helping a…

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.
