Renee
Tutor Toorak, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen. Is there a way the student feels they learn better? Perhaps through pictures instead of words? Is the student not focussed and extremely tired? Would it be more productive to learn outside in the backyard or reschedule for another day? Students are young, but they are young adults.…

Rabya

The tutor can encourage and motivate a student when he is not feeling very sure of himself and ensure that the student is always confident, even when the marks are low. I can understand a student's problem very well and communicate in an easy to understand language. I can be very patient while teaching someone and re-explain…

Heath
Tutor Hawthorn East, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make sure they actually learn. It may seem obvious, but the reason personal tutoring is so much more effective than learning in a classroom is because a tutor you can guide an individual through the learning process each step of the way. It's much more than just explaining a concept to your…

Kasturi
Tutor Hawthorn East, VIC
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…

A tutor should be able to provide clarity in moments of doubt and confusion. Encourage practice and definitely believe in the student. Studying should be made interesting and not one sided as it can turn out to be really fun. I am extremely patient and organized.

Be supportive and patient understanding everyone learns at a different pace and ways. Also, acknowledging that some content is more difficult than others to some people and that is fine. Just to ensure the student that it is ok to struggle with certain things, we all do at the end of the day. I adapt easily. I always study my student so I can…

Krishna
Tutor Cremorne, VIC
A tutor is different from a teacher/instructor at school. A tutor should know the strengths and weaknesses of a student in order to assist them accordingly. A tutor must be able to identify gaps in understanding in concepts and make sure to clarify the same in a patient manner. I believe I have the patience to teach and make sure the students have…

Tutor Cremorne, VIC
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…

Tutor Cremorne, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide a tailor-fit learning environment for them. A tutor must be considerate of every student in any way, shape, or form. This way, the student would feel more comfortable with the tutor and soon enough, they will see these subjects are enjoyable in their own way. I believe that I have…

Tutor Hawthorn East, VIC
I believe the most important thing a tutor can be to a student is patient and kind. This is because there could be a particular concept the student is struggling with, so the tutor needs to be able to help them learn and improve on that topic. Being patient and kind in explaining it to the student is, therefore, an important part of doing so.…

Harris

A tutor should be able to teach their students in an interesting manner, and be more personal.

Most importantly a tutor…

Su Yuan
Tutor East Melbourne, VIC
I think it is important for tutors to be able to identify which areas students struggle with, then find a way to break it down and explain it to students so they fully understand. Tutors need to be patient and also be able to listen to what questions the students have, understand the problem and then explain the question to them slowly. Tutors…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to learn in a way that maximises their potential.

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.
