English Tutor Watsonia North, VIC
Because delivering the lesson and making sure the student understands is basically a essence of being a tutor, I wouldn't consider it the most important. Instead, it's helping my students identify the "WHY"s (the purpose of their learning, values applicable beyond the lesson) as well as the "HOW"s (the way they can achieve it, even if the learning…

Being a friend and a guide more than an authoritative figure. Working through the problem together so the student doesn't feel that they are the underdog in the situation. My strength would be identifying the student's own weaknesses and strengths and tailoring my tutoring style accordingly. A weakness might be sticking to my lesson plan a little…

To help encourage them to try there best. Everyone wants 100% but they may not necessarily get it. A tutor has to help a student reach their own version of 100%, to put in all their effort, enjoy their work, and be proud. My strength is I am a people person, I get along well with others and enjoy teaching others. My weakness is I don't have any…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to assist them in developing the relevant skills that they need to be successful and proficient in a subject, to the point in which they have enough confidence within their own abilities to approach the curriculum without feeling that they require extra assistance. The role of…

Active listening. I believe this is the most important trait and thing a tutor can do for a student. This is because our role is to educate and a way of guiding students to take in information in the best or most efficient way, and part of that is listening actively to what the student wants out of tutoring sessions and adjusting however possible…

A tutor's main goal should be to help the student develop the tools to go into the classroom and be confident about their skills, and hopefully, eventually, go on with their education, and ultimately their future, without a tutor. My greatest strength in tutoring is that I know that there are multiple ways to look at the same information, and…

A tutor should be able to lift the confidence of a student; with the ability to detect their strengths, as well as listing potential weaknesses so that there is a level of realism when analysing one's raw ability in a subject. I have the ability to break concepts into small parts to increase the level of understanding for a student. Paired with my…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are provide academic guidance, human connection, and consistency, and the combination of these factors can potentially reinvent a class, subject, or school more broadly for a young learner. Some of my greatest strengths are that I'm very energetic and patient. I lean on these qualities heavily…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to inspire them to aim higher than where they currently are and to act as a guide towards that goal. It is also important for us to be there for them when they need us but not spoonfeeding them so that they can learn for themselves. I am disciplined and would instil the same sense of…

Understand what works for them and how they learn, then adapt the work to be specific to them. Keep the work engaging and ask the student what they want to learn or what their goals are.

Confidence is a key element that tutors can either instil or take away from a student. All children are born with a capacity to learn and it is our job to help them realise their great potential. In saying that, tutors must always be kind, encouraging and supportive of a child so that they can be confident enough to venture into the unknown and…

Local Reviews

Inside ElthamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ethan focused on mastering long multiplication and division, along with strategies for working with fractions.

Year 10 Callum spent sessions revising factorising non-monic quadratics and applying algebra skills to simultaneous equations, often using worked examples from past tests.

For Year 11 student Ruby, recent lessons targeted exponentials and their graphs as well as challenging exam-style questions involving exponents and logarithms to strengthen her Methods understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often relied on mental calculations and skipped writing out steps—"he tries to do too much work in his head," a tutor noted—leading to muddled errors that slowed progress.

In senior years, a lack of consistent revision was clear: missed homework and incomplete summary notes meant key methods for trigonometry and probability weren't embedded, especially when tests approached quickly.

A drop in motivation after falling behind left another student unsure where to restart; the result was gaps in understanding that made even familiar material feel unfamiliar under exam pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Eltham tutor noticed a big shift with Eric (Year 10), who used to leave maths homework unfinished but now tackles it early, using his parents and a friend as resources—he even made only minor mistakes this week.

In Year 11 chemistry, Callum has started engaging much more actively; he now jumps into tutor-led questions about wave interference instead of waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, Anna (Year 6) has begun fixing her own mistakes right after spotting them—last session she quickly self-corrected errors on literal equations without any prompting and finished the set independently.

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 Eltham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady Help of Christians School.
