1. The tutor should be open minded and let the student show any problems in their homework or tests etc. 2. I can be assertive, but not authoritative. Students tend to become discouraged if they find that their tutor is directing/forcing information when uncalled for. Some of my stregnths include: - setting an agenda before we start each class…

Naturally, a tutor's main priority is to provide profound and thorough knowledge through clear communication. I believe that while this is nuclear to the role, this teaching can only be achieved if the tutor also carries other accompanying qualities. This includes patience and listening, aforementioned, and trust. As a tutor, it is inevitable that…

Build their self confidence and the ability to be self sufficient. Mindset and attitude plays the most vital role to success in life. Just like school teachers, tutors play a massive role in setting a positive learning environment where students want to learn for their goals and ambitions rather than a student who just wants to get their lesson…

Due to the individuality of each student a personalised experience must be created by tutors, through adapting teaching methods and lesson plans, to stimulate the unique minds of students. Further tutors must recognize the…

A tutor can first start by welcoming their student and getting to know them in order to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. This will make it easier for the tutor to better understand the student, but also easier for the student to freely ask questions. As well as holding the ability to teach, a tutor must have patience. Being a good…

I believe as a tutor the ultimate goal is to help the student become an independent learner. Also, confidence is the basic quality of a tutor. It also means that you have the courage to admit that you don't know the answer. Knowing that you are not absolutely correct, so that students may feel better. Lastly, be willing to share your own…

Increasing a student's grade or helping them understand a single concept are just some of the things that most people look for in a tutor. While these are undoubtedly worthwhile indicators of a tutor's ability to teach a student, they are often mercurial and temporary once the tutoring stops. I firmly believe that what differentiates a good tutor…

The most important thing a tutor can do would be to maintain a strict regimen on what is expected in a student. Students that are set in the easy and slow pace that their classroom teachers assert themselves will fall behind easily. It is vital that a tutor recognise and go the extra mile to attain new resources and schedules for their student to…

Inside HeathmontTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Mia focused on mastering multiplication facts with a times tables grid and worked through several practice questions on long division, including problems with decimals.

Year 7 student Jack revised percentages by calculating discounts and converting between fractions and percentages, then practiced financial maths skills such as finding profit and understanding rates of pay.

For Year 8, Ella concentrated on algebraic techniques for solving linear equations and revisited BIDMAS (order of operations) using step-by-step examples to prepare for an upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student often avoided writing full working, especially when solving for x—this led to confusion with negative signs and extra time spent fixing errors rather than progressing ("needs to improve writing down working out").

In Year 11 English, notes showed that missed classes weren't always followed up; "definitely write those notes up for the missed class on quadrilaterals so we can follow up and make up the missed work."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to show division steps out of concern for mistakes. As a result, accuracy wavered during multi-step problems and confidence dipped mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Heathmont tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who had always hesitated to ask for help; during recent sessions, she started checking her logic out loud and clarifying steps, instead of quietly guessing.

In Year 8 maths, another student finally broke through on algebra: after weeks of confusion with expanding and simplifying expressions, he solved several equations independently and even explained his process back.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who used to rush worded problems began underlining key information before working—leading her to solve all division questions correctly 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 Realm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Great Ryrie Primary School.
