Chemistry Tutor Kew East, VIC
As a tutor, I encourage my students to truly understand the course material, rather than aimlessly memorize the content. To do this it is important to be supportive, but firm. Ultimately, I want to help my students recognize the potential within themselves. I graduated in 2019 with an ATAR of 99.00. I have tutored 14 students over 3 years. I am…

A tutor must be able to build a students confidence, and not a dependence. For instance, lets say in physics, rather than teaching a student to memorise formula or answer, a good tutor will ensure the student understands the subject and how to apply it. This mindset is extremely crucial to building student confidence, and it stays in memory much…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to remain patient and understanding throughout the lesson. This is because there will be multiple students with different learning speeds and abilities that the tutor is required to cater to. Teaching with patience ultimately encourages the student to continue to strive for excellence,…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is encourage students to actively engage with the material rather than just passively receive information. A tutor should listen carefully, understand what the student already knows, and build on that foundation. Creating an open environment where students feel comfortable explaining their…

A tutor can be a role model for the student. Generally students observe character and skills of a tutor and in most cases they try to imitate them. As a tutor we have to be a responsible individual gradually transferring our personality to aspiring students. After all today's students are tommorrow's mentors. I think my determination and my…

This means being willing to adjust techniques and approaches to meet the learning styles of the student. Be patient. What is obvious or easy for you may not be so for your student.

I have a positive attitude even when the student is wrong, I correct them by not saying that they were wrong but by picking up the same topic and explaining it in the correct manner. Instead of spoon-feeding all the information, I expect students to brainstorm ideas. I motivate the student to think in various aspects which would help them broaden…

I believe that the overarching role of a tutor is to have a lasting, positive impact on a student, and this is possible through various means. Firstly, they can support the student academically, by guiding them through difficult or foreign concepts step-by-step. Through this, a tutor can immensely improve a student's self-confidence and engagement…

The ability to understand a student and their learning style is something I highly value in a tutor.

In a tutoring scenario, we are able to cater to them more specifically, to be intuitive about…

From my perspective of view, the most important things I can teach a student are the interests in this subject and finding pleasure from it.

I believe it is important to understand the student's weaknesses and strengths before starting to teach them.

Hence, I try to first help them understand the basics then go…

Inside HawthornTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily worked on fraction operations and consolidating her multiplication tables, using hands-on practice for both.

In Year 10, Matt focused on embedding quotes effectively in English essays about 'The Golden Age' and practiced planning analytical responses to prompts using graphic organisers.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam tackled quadratic equations by completing the square and applied the elimination method to solve simultaneous equations, also revisiting basic trigonometry concepts like SOH CAH TOA.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student showed inconsistent completion of assigned homework for English SAC revision, which limited the depth of written feedback and skill consolidation; as a tutor noted, "Matt needs to improve completing his assigned homework tasks."

In VCE English, reliance on brief plans rather than detailed mindmaps or highlighting led to weaker essay introductions and difficulty embedding evidence.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 maths student struggled with structuring working in fraction questions—"more practice is needed on fractions," the notes recorded—which slowed progress and sometimes hid small calculation errors.

Missed homework meant extra class time spent reviewing old ground instead of advancing skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hawthorn noticed that Matt, a Year 11 English student, now completes all assigned homework ahead of lessons and brings thoughtful ideas to each session. He's even started using planning tables and flash cards on his own, which wasn't the case before.

In senior maths, Will has become much more independent with graphing linear relations; he used to need step-by-step support but recently translated equations into graphs without prompting.

Meanwhile, Ziggy (Year 8) showed a big shift by reading scenes from a play aloud with expression and then volunteering his interpretation of the characters' motives.

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 City of Boroondara Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hawthorn West Primary School.
