Manas
Tutor Fitzroy, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do is never give up on a student. A tutor needs to be patient with his pupils since every student cannot grasp a particular concept at the same rate , therefore patience and understanding the student is more important. A tutor should also give time for students to practice as math is all about logic and…

Listen to what the student has to say, and base their teaching strategy around their individual needs.

Tutor Alphington, VIC
It's super important that tutors are understanding, patient, and believe in their students. I prioritise instilling confidence in my students. In maths, I treat methods as skills to learn rather than processes to memorise. They are more like riding a bike than memorising a recipe. That's why I really value learning by doing, because it allows…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is help a student build confidence.

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.
