Help him or her to find their own ways to study most efficiently. Give them the tools, which would allow them to be more confident and comfortable in their learning not only at school, but also beyond. Good knowledge of my subjects and belief that math and science need the same systematic training to become easy, as sports. And that as only some…

The tutor should always guide the student to do their lessons with minimum errors and time. So without remembering everything in the mind, they should have to focus the subject with the practical knowledge. Good communication and mentoring skills what I have earned in my last job. I trained most of the new software engineers and I think that will…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is be a student's number one supporter. School fills you with enough doubt as is, so it is imperative to create a safe learning environment for them to make mistakes in order to grow. This goes hand in hand with being a role model whom they can be inspired & motivated by and look up to. I believe…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build the confidence of the student in approaching their academic studies, which allows further improvement and their ability to learn from critical feedbacks. Another important thing is to ensure the student is able to reach their goals by ensuring long term commitments. I…

I think that one of the most important things is to really work with the student. A big reason that people come to tutors outside of school is because of the fact that they need more individually catered style of teaching as the one their teacher isn’t working. Due to this, targeting your teaching approach to the individual students needs is…

I was never a fan of the uncertainty of exams/tests, in not knowing if I would achieve the grade I wanted. As a tutor, having confidence in my students is vital in boosting their own self-confidence. I'm reliable and diligent, and willing to put effort into providing help/finding answers in my own time. My ability to be clear and articulate helps…

Firstly, patience is essential for a tutor to enable the student to ask as many questions as necessary and ask for guidance when they are unsure. Furthermore, as a tutor, I believe that I should not always give the answer straight away if the student is unsure but rather explain the concepts in a different way to allow the student to come to the…

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…

I reckon the most crucial things a tutor can do for a student is spending time with them, listening, sympathising, effectively communicating and building connections with them. School curriculum is not designed for any particular students, so many of them can't study the way they find the most suitable and easiest for them, resulting in the need…

The infulcence tutors have on a child's life is the most important thing in my opinion. If tutors leave a positive impact, get invivoled with kids on a very personal level, I strongly believe it would help in getting the kids to be more interested in studying and doing their homeworks. This means making tutoring fun. I believe, I have good…

Guide, but not tell.

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.
