Be available for all questions, whether they come in tutoring times or outside so that the student can have timely responses to their questions. Additionally, ensuring content is engaging and paced correctly such that the student is encouraged and not intimidated by their work. Firstly, having recently graduated I have a fairly comprehensive grasp…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to just be there and to be patient. I think it is vitally important to be able to teach the principle and be patient in understanding and helping them as they learn and pick up on concepts. My strengths i believe as a tutor are the following: . The ability to be able to teach…

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…

Not assumer everyone is the same. Everybody's brains work differently so there is no point in trying to teach everyone in the same way. It is so important to establish how you can be most helpful to each student individually, by listening to what they are saying and working with them in a more personalised way. I feel that I can quite quickly…

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.

As a tutor, I can teach concepts and skills from a different perspective to what the student learns in a classroom.

This means that students can get the most out of their sessions with…

A good tutor for my does not just limit themselves in getting students to familiar with the exam format and get high grades, obviously that’s a crucial role. However, building foundation knowledge for their students, explaining explicitly things that school teachers do not have time to cover for them is truly what’s more important. I do think…

I think that most teachers teach based on methods they mostly understand, which I think is subjective. But different people learn differently, and I think that it is much more effective when you explain it to them in terms each of them would more likely understand in.

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…

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.
