Help them develop the skills they need to learn, not just teach them specific material. When a student feels confident in their own ability to understand and excel at new things they will enjoy the learning process more. These skills will stay with them forever and will help them learn in any context. I am highly personable and empathetic. This…

Make a student comfortable to an extent so that he is not afraid to ask questions. because the moment the student is afraid of asking questions, he will stop learning. I am calm and patient with students which is very important in tutoring. When teaching somebody, one has to have nerves of steel. you can expect any type of criticism or question,…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student is help with accountability and develop understanding of deeper ideas that students may not have knowledge in. Accountability means being an external party that can help make sure a student feels obliged to study and improve, and developing understanding means students can specialise their…

Tutors should always be there to support their students and patiently relate to them. Tutors must be able to adjust how they communicate so students remain highly motivated to learn. I like to keep things simple, and when concepts are not being conveyed properly, I try to use different perspective which works best for the situation. I am also very…

Build the foundation: once they understand the basic concepts, then they will be able to understand the complex problems. Guide them to solve problems instead of solving it for them yourself. Guide them through the solving process rather than simply providing answers. This helps them become more confident problem solvers. Always encourage…

Help them to break down a problem and follow a methodical set of steps. A lot of science and mathematics subjects require a lot of practice and exposure to problems and questions.

I think tutors have to have the appropriate amount of empathy to understand, not only the way they learn, but also their reason for learning. Best thing tutor can do is align his values with his student's. I think this is a way to frustrate and alienate him. I can approach a problem the way student does. This gives me an insight into where they…

The most important thing a tutor can be is encouraging and patient, not everyone can grasp everything on their first run-through nor should they be expected to.

Inside FootscrayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mia focused on solving problems involving the volume of cylinders and explored area and circumference of circles, using diagrams to reinforce understanding.

In Year 8, Liam practiced linear relationships by plotting equations on coordinate grids and worked through questions on finding equations of lines.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Ava reviewed angle types—such as complementary and supplementary angles—and estimated degrees using protractors for hands-on learning.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 trigonometry, a student hesitated to attempt challenging problems, focusing mainly on familiar examples—this limited exposure to multi-step scenarios.

For a Year 3 multiplication task, over-reliance on counting rather than recalling tables slowed progress and led to errors ("Need to learn by heart the multiplication table").

In Year 10 data evaluation, incomplete practice with interpreting graphs meant patterns were sometimes missed.

During Year 8 decimal work, one tutor noted: "Need to be more careful while counting the number to put the decimal point and index number." These process gaps often left some questions unanswered or concepts only partly grasped in-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Footscray noticed a big shift with one high school student who, after struggling to estimate angles without tools, now confidently judges them by eye and checks his work independently.

Another Year 9 student who used to hesitate when stuck on problems has started raising questions mid-session and fixing mistakes right away, instead of waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, a younger student finally cleared up confusion about range and median—after weeks of guessing, he now explains the difference out loud before solving each problem.

Last week, one finished all his homework in just 20 minutes and asked for extra exercises.

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 Footscray Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Footscray High School - Barkly Campus.
