I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make learning simple by building from a very strong foundation. The reason many students struggle with complex concepts is because their foundation is either weak or vague. My approach has always been to start with the basics, explain them in simple terms, and then…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is understand and support them. A student excelling in their studies is not simply a routine of worksheets and practice essays, but learning simple yet effective methods for studying such as flash cards, mind maps and games. It also goes beyond studying and into routines…

Most importantly, putting time and efforts after students till their basics are clear is the key for an english tutor to use. After clearing the basics, revising and revisiting the already done work is equally important. Having had experience in tutoring, patience is my strength. I think self motivation and hard work are the key to success while…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is listen to them.

Listening to a student's needs, their preferred learning styles and other…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is not only to teach them what to think, but show them how they can independently develop their own original ideas - how they think. This is particularly true for humanities subjects such as English, where it may be challenging for a student to develop their own ideas and write…

I believe it is essential for tutors to help students build confidence and self esteem in a subject.

Another thing an english tutor should do is to find the student’s preferred method of learning,…

To teach them life skills such as being able to add, subtract, tell the time, spellings, nouns, pronouns etc which will come in very handy and is used in everyday life. I am pretty good in Maths and English so those are my strongest subjects…

Listen to the student. I think it's important that tutors listen to their students to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and get to know them. By doing this, you'll be able to help them in the way that works best for them, in the areas that they're struggling with the most. Sometimes there are things outside of schoolwork that make it hard…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be patient, and to help the student learn to learn. It is an easier job to tell a student the correct answers than to help them understand how to get there. Taking the time to ensure a student truly understands each lesson and correction can inadvertently be the fastest way…

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.
