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 personally like to help my fellow university friends by using terms from…

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 most important things a tutor can do are to create a safe, encouraging learning environment, help students build confidence, and guide them to develop their own problem-solving skills rather than just giving them answers. I’m patient, a good listener, and I always try to explain things in a way that makes sense to each individual student. I…

Help him or her stay motivated. If a student is motivated, it is highly likely they will be able to finish their given task without much effort. However, if a tutor fails to keep his or her student motivated enough, it would be pretty tough for that student to keep on going. I don’t give up on a student just because he or she is not able to…

The most important skill to be passed on is to never lose hope when no ways are seen, and to keep trying with most consistency. Only consistency can bring forth permanent results and changes. A lot of people around us are learned enough to be able to solve a math problem, but few among them can teach it to someone else, and even fewer among them…

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…

If any topic is particularly difficult, it is important for a tutor to make it as easy as possible for the student to understand the content.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is create an open and comfortable environment for their students. I believe that if a student isn't afraid to make mistakes or ask questions, they can become more confident, approach problems independently, and find better enjoyment in doing the work that they might originally find dull and tedious.…

Look at every students need. A stigma is around unconsciously that teachers only give priority to students who ends up getting good grades. I highly disagree with that, people who needs more help are the students who are constantly failing the subjects and does not have a single clue what is going on in the class. I believe the best thing a tutor…

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.
