The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel comfortable and capable of learning new things. Often tutoring can seem like babysitting, but if a tutor can make the student feel like it's an opportunity instead of a task, it helps the student put their best effort into learning. The tutor should also understand the…

The most important thing that I believe a tutor can do for a student is not simply just teaching and having them understand. But it is making the learning process more enjoyable. If the student doesn't enjoy learning, then they wouldn't learn regardless of how good the tutor is. Thus, I believe that the best thing we can do as tutors is to create…

Empowering the student is the most important thing I can do as a tutor. It is clear to me that my goal is not for the student to be dependent on me as a tutor. But, I am there to help and guide, to support and mentor, so that the student becomes capable and confident to do things on their own and progress further. Empowering someone else is not an…

To reiterate, I think personalization is a key facet of good tutoring. Every student is likely to have different needs and learning styles, and it is important to adapt course material and teaching style to best suit their needs, while clarifying concepts effectively and accurately. Also, making the concept/subject appear less daunting and more…

I believe it's being patient and treating every question equally. When I was in high school, I loved explaining math problems to my classmates. For math problems, I think there is no such thing as easy or difficult; the only difference is knowing how to solve it or not, so one should teach people until they understand it and can solve similar…

The main benefit of 1 on 1 tuition over in-class learning is that the teaching is flexible, and more time can be spent on areas the students are struggling with, while not needing to dwell on subjects the students are already familiar with. I prefer to explain basic course concepts before the students learn them in class, so they can more easily…

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.
