According to me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to instil confidence and positive mindset in a student which can empower the student to take on challenges. Developing a love for learning also goes a long way, as a tutor teaches a subject which he likes he can encourage curiosity and passion for the subject in his students…

I believe that listening to the student is among the most important things a tutor can do. It is imperative that the student feels comfortable to share concepts that they feel unfamiliar with, therefore building a relationship with them is crucial. Having a good understanding of the student's optimal way of learning is also beneficial to the…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

The tutoring was fantastic. Izzy really enjoyed working with Maitreyee and feels fairly confident about how her test went (she even rang and said she would have been lost without the tutoring).

Inside HeathpoolTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Armando worked through solving **simultaneous equations** and applying geometry skills to perimeter and area problems.

For Year 11, Sarah focused on bivariate statistics by analysing **line of best fit**, calculating least squares regression, and interpreting interpolation and extrapolation using her calculator.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Tom reviewed **exponential regression** for a bivariate statistics assignment and practised financial modelling with real-life examples such as loan calculations and offset accounts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's written working in matrix calculations was often hard to follow—labels and steps were missing, making it easy to miscopy numbers.

For a Year 11 assignment, uncertainty about task requirements led to confusion: "he agreed to check/clarify with his teacher," but the delay slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing for exams relied heavily on calculator graphs without always adjusting scales or double-checking results; this meant errors sometimes went unnoticed until revision.

Across all years, moments of low confidence after setbacks have led some students to avoid unfamiliar problem types during independent practice.

Recent Achievements

One Heathpool tutor noticed that Armando, a high school student, recently bounced back after missing lessons due to illness by arranging extra meetings with his teacher and showing strong understanding in statistics and financial concepts—he even scored a B+ on two practice exams and could pinpoint areas for further improvement himself.

Another high schooler, Alia, who used to hesitate at the start of new problems, now attempts all worksheets independently before seeking help and has kept organised summaries for each topic; she achieved 87% in her last test.

In Year 7, one student confidently plotted graphs independently of linear relationships without guidance for the first time.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marryatville High School.
