Connecting to my previous points, I think the most important thing a tutor can do is instill self-belief in a student, teaching them how to do things on their own and giving them the confidence to try. I think I'm highly emotionally intelligent, perceptive, and patient, which helps me connect with students on a deeper level. I find that this…

Good tutors should be able to help students improve and not dependent on them, they should be able to help a student solve problems and not simply giving them answers. In addition, tutors also have to be patient as not all students have the same learning abilities. Lastly, I think a tutor should put in the effort to understand both the materials…

A positive attitude and patience. I find these to be very important, particularly when tackling harder concepts that may take a few tries to fully understand. I am patient and willing to tailor all of my lessons to each student to fit their learning needs, and I find it important for my students to enjoy the learning process to ensure…

To really care for them - not just for the money but to really want to see them grow.

I am a very organised and punctual…

Honestly - be patient and adaptable. So many kids have come to me after school and shown me a method that their teacher absolutely insists they use, and that they just completely don’t get. Every child learns differently. There’s no point trying to force a specific method if it simply doesn’t work for them - I struggled with this as a…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is provide constant reassurance in their abilities. I feel like a lot of the time when students feel overwhelmed with school work they lose confidence in their ability to answer questions to write an essay. Having a tutor, someone who can guide them, motivate them and assess and improve weak areas…

I would say being able to help the student in a way that they won’t require help anymore in the future. To teach them life skills such as being able to add, subtract, tell the time, spellings, nouns, pronouns etc which will come in very handy and is used in everyday life. I am pretty good in Maths and English so those are my strongest subjects…

I believe that it's crucial for a tutor to create an open and supportive relationship with their student.

Being willing to help, but also acknowledge the rare instances where a tutor may be unable to help to a confident level.

When this problem is encountered, however, it is up to the tutor to rectify this by…

Be a mentor as well, mathematical skills might not be the only thing a child needs. Often a student doesn't perform poorly in school due to disinterest or an inability to understand the work, but because of various troubles in their lives. Pre-teens and teenagers are often reluctant to share their troubles with their parents but jump at the…

This way, in the future, the student is able to perform well academically in an independent manner. One of my biggest strengths as a tutor would be that I make tutoring sessions fun and…

Inside Glen HuntlyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Henry worked on converting mixed fractions to improper fractions and practiced adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions with different denominators.

In Year 8, Sarah focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and collecting like terms using practice questions from her textbook.

For Year 10, Michael tackled quadratic equations from past tests as well as set notation in its various forms, including finding minimum points of graphs through worked examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student struggled to keep track of negative signs when adding and subtracting fractions, with one tutor noting, "she needs to look at the signs in front of the term… then subtract or add accordingly."

In Year 10, forgetting to write units and not double-checking data led to errors in measurement and statistics questions.

A Year 11 student avoided attempting complex polynomial division without notes—hesitation here slowed progress during independent tasks.

Meanwhile, a senior student repeatedly skipped re-reading worded problems fully, missing key details and needing extra explanation before proceeding with calculus applications.

Recent Achievements

A Glen Huntly tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Sienna, used to wait for hints before attempting tricky calculus problems, but in their latest session she worked through finding derivatives from first principles mostly on her own and asked targeted questions only when really stuck.

Meanwhile, Lily in Year 7 had previously struggled to spot mistakes in her test answers, but after some guided practice she now independently reviews her work and corrects errors without prompting.

In another recent session, Eve (Year 10) was able to solve exponential equations that had caused trouble in earlier homework attempts and finished the whole set without needing step-by-step guidance.

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 Carnegie Library and Community Centre—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glen Eira College.
