Teaching the fundamentals in a clear and simple method, so that the student wants to challenge themselves and try more advanced questions. Patience. I dont mind repeating the same teaching in 10 different ways if it helps the student understand…

A tutor should build the confidence of students. I did well all through school and am what would be considered very book-smart. I also think I am very good at identifying where a student doesn't understand a concept and explaining from…

In my personal opinion, the most important thing any kind of teacher can do for their student, is help them discover an expression of self in the subject. One may think this is quite impossible in the more technically oriented subjects, but I find that every branch of learning holds the potential for an expression of self. I am patient while…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence while helping them understand the subject. It’s not just about giving answers but helping them learn how to think and solve problems on their own. Creating a supportive and patient environment is also really important so students feel comfortable asking questions.…

I believe the most important thing for a tutor is to be patient with the student and try to understand why they find that specific problem or concept difficult. It is the tutors job to explain and teach so that it is easy for the student to understand. I am very understanding and patient. It is difficult to learn new skills and teachings,…

Well, one is to build the student's confidence! I want them to be able to think independently and instil in their minds to avoid the use of AI tools like ChatGPT. I want to create a comfortable space where they can make mistakes and learn from them! A good tutor does not just give the answers, and I'd guide them to find the answers themselves. 1:1…

I believe building an understanding about the student and the ways in which they learn best is what separates a tutor from a textbook. The personal skills needed to determine that are most important as it then allows the customisation of learning. Because my understanding of concepts are very logical, I am able to give explanations depending on…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to instill confidence in them and encourage them to be determined.

I believe I am articulate. I explain…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clear explanations, build their confidence, and create a supportive learning environment.

be compassionate with your students and believe in them. I believe students tend to believe a lot of what their teacher's think about them and they look up to their tutors. Hence, if the tutor is compassionate with his student, that can really create a strong desire to succeed in his students. Strong technical knowledge, adaptable to different…

The most important thing a tutor can do is foster intellectual independence.

This also goes if the…

A tutor should consider each student individually and teach them according to the student's strengths and weakness. He must be persistent and discplined so that he can encourage the student to follow the same. He must be patient and never get upset with a student no matter how hard a subject feels to them. I am patient and a good listener. I will…

Inside FitzroyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Gus focused on measurement skills including unit conversions, perimeter, and an introduction to surface area, as well as exploring the angle sum in triangles.

In Year 9, Maryam worked on solving simultaneous equations using substitution and elimination, then applied these methods to practical problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ali reviewed operations with fractions—adding, subtracting, multiplying with different denominators—and extended this knowledge to simplifying algebraic fractional expressions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 6 student in Fitzroy showed difficulty setting out work neatly and consistently dating pages, making it harder to track progress—especially when tackling worded measurement problems.

As one tutor observed, "she struggles to walk through questions speaking out loud," which made it tough to clarify her thinking on fraction conversions and unit changes.

In Year 10 English, a student forgot to submit an essay by the deadline, delaying feedback and causing extra stress before class.

A senior maths student arrived unprepared for sessions without essential materials like a pen or laptop; this slowed the start and limited practice time.

Recent Achievements

One Fitzroy tutor noticed a Year 11 student, Celeste, who used to hesitate with trigonometry word problems now confidently solves bearings and graphing tasks on her own—she even tackles complex questions without prompting.

In another session, Maryam (Year 10) moved from confusion about box plots to clearly explaining five-figure summaries and solving simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods.

Meanwhile, in Year 6 maths, Ella showed a shift from struggling with measurement topics to independently working through area and volume questions, finishing her test section on these without needing hints.

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 Fitzroy Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sacred Heart School.
