The most important thing I can do for a student is help them believe that they can. I aim to create a supportive space where they feel understood and not judged. By breaking concepts down clearly and encouraging questions, I am able to replace confusion with confidence. My goal is to act as a catalyst for the student so that they are able to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them that learning can be enjoyable, and not just a task. I believe that a tutor should take the time to motivate their students to approach learning with a positive perspective, and provide them with the necessary advice when students have doubts or worries about their…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to give the student guidance on how to deal with the problems and make them solve their problems in order for them to solve future problems by themselves. A tutor can also help them with the problems after they have tried to solve the problems with different techniques. My strengths as…

I think having a good personality is the most important thing as a tutor. This is because an educator is supposed to be patient, calm and helpful in front of his/her students. If he/she can't do that, he/she will always be in arguments with the students and thus mutual trusts between them will be lost. I think I have a good academic backgrounds…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are assisting them with their studies and provide comfort. I do not think tutors should spoon-feed answers to students as that will not help them fully understand and learn. Other than that, I believe the ability to comfort and reassure students is extremely important for tutors. I have met…

The most important thing in tutoring in my opinion is to understand your audiences and customise your approach based on that. in order to be an effective tutor, someone needs to connect to their students. Some are introverted while others are extroverted. They come with different backgrounds, confidence level, and mental abilities. In the end, a…

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.
