I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student feel confident in their own abilities. Learning can be tough, and sometimes all a student needs is someone to break things down in a way that makes sense to them and encourage them along the way. It’s also important to create a space where they feel comfortable asking questions…

I consider confidence building to be a priority for a tutor. If a student is not confident in their own abilities, they will not be able to grow as a learner and eventually take on the more challenging problems themselves. A pivotal element in building confidence in students is creating a friendly and welcoming environment in which they can reach…

In my opinion, being supportive, providing necessary help and being enthusiastic about the subject are the most vital things for a tutor can do. With the correct intentions and methods, students can be motivated to study, leading to better results. Being patient, communicate well, strong knowledge on the subject and listening to others are my…

As a tutor, I can teach concepts and skills from a different perspective to what the student learns in a classroom. As a tutor, I get to spend a lot of time one-on-one with students, which means I can specifically understand individual needs and adjust my approach accordingly. This means that students can get the most out of their sessions with…

Teach genuinely, give out all information they know of the subject. To choose sharing knowledge over money. To have patients to deal with any kind of student since each student could have a different speed of learning or picking up. My strengths would be that I am a young, patient teacher who can teach any type of student. I have the ability to…

Guide, but not tell. I have always found it really important when helping students to lead them in the right direction with their train of thought in a matter but to always let them work things out and come to conclusions on their own. If needed I will redo demonstrations but for both the students understanding and confidence on a topic I find it…

A tutor should be able to read the students mind if he fails to do so he has failed in his job. Understanding what the student needs and give the student what the student lacks and preserve and enhance what the student already has, this is what tutoring is all about. I like to employ new methods of teaching skills as per the student requirements…

Listen to what the student actually wants help with and find out the root cause of why they are stuck or confused. The teacher needs to work together with the student, not against them.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to start teaching them from the basics. I believe a good foundation is very important for any student to succeed in the long run.

In my opinion, one of the most important things a great tutor can do for a student is to increase their passion for the subject. When a student genuinely enjoys learning about a topic, they will be more motivated. When students love what they're learning, it unlocks their potential. That energy and excitement will hopefully lead to a deeper…

I think its understanding, confidence in knowledge and patience.

A good tutor should make sure that his/her student understands the essence and real life importance of the subject he/she is teaching.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make learning simple by building from a very strong foundation. The reason many students struggle with complex concepts is because their foundation is either weak or vague. My approach has always been to start with the basics, explain them in simple terms, and then gradually build…

I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a tutor's action, as it is the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's confidence and self trust, as this often leads to improved performance.

I also give students breaks when…

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.
