I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's confidence and self trust, as this often leads to improved performance. I make lessons engaging by involving students in each step, encouraging questions and critical thinking, and emphasising both independent learning and problem solving. I also give students breaks when…

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…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student would be to be able to have the student reach their goals in their school work, tests and grades. I am great at explaining things in details. For example, if I were to be tutoring maths, instead of only showing answers, I would explain the steps to the answer and better explain concepts to help…

Instil them with confidence! Breaking down those confidence barriers a student might have could result in them tackling a question they would have never attempted otherwise. This also means persevering when they get answers wrong - they know they'll get there eventually. Another really important part of being a tutor is providing the student…

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…

I believe a tutor is a person who is there to support, guide and encourage students to not just settle for an easy answer but question and discover new things. I believe tutors should allow students to embrace their mistakes and learn from them, and use their failures as experiences. I try different methods with students who are unable to grasp a…

With one to one teaching a tutor can help a student on a deeper level than in a classroom setting, allowing them to feel they can ask about anything they're not sure on without any fear of the rest of the class judging them. Understanding how children learn on an individual basis (including factoring in neurodivergency) rather than a blanket…

I believe that when the right tutor is paired with the right student, they can help the student to understand the pleasure of academic subjects. A tutor's responsibility, in my opinion, should be to identify why the student may be struggling in that specific area of academics and then to adjust their teaching approach and technique to cater for…

Inside Hawthorn EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Jaidan reviewed all operations with fractions—including multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction—by working through exercises from his textbook.

Year 8 Isabella focused on graphing linear functions and calculating gradients, including a quick online discussion to clarify concepts while recovering from illness.

For Year 10 Ethan, the session addressed probability notation and diagrams along with set theory basics, using simple examples to build understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student often rushed through working without writing steps, particularly in algebra and negative numbers; as a tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 11 methods, another found it challenging to keep track of brackets and correct notation when sketching graphs or working with power functions—missing these details led to confusion during revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student's long division answers became muddled because steps weren't clearly set out on paper. This meant extra time was spent searching for small mistakes instead of building new understanding.

Recent Achievements

One Hawthorn East tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling with structuring extended answers in maths, now independently organises solutions and adapts quickly between topics like indices and algebraic equations.

A Year 10 student showed a real shift by reviewing errors from a recent test and then accurately applying Pythagoras' theorem during follow-up questions—something he hesitated with before.

In primary sessions, a younger learner who had difficulty telling time last month is now confidently drawing clock faces for set times and uses visual strategies to solve division problems without prompting.

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 Camberwell Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Camberwell Primary School.
