To actually be committed to helping the student and genuinely wanting to help the student is most important in my opinion. I have personally had tutors who excelled in their own academics, but were not genuinely wanting to tutor - unfortunately this meant that they did not give the best explanations and guidance they could give to me. I met a…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to believe in them and their capabilities and to make them feel that they can learn anything they want. My greatest strength is to break down complex ideas into simple and easy to understand bits of information and giving enough practice problems to my students so that they are…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them improve, not only academically but also as an individual. I believe that with right tutoring students not only learn about the subject contents, but also learn to be more persevering and self-discipline, which will tangibly enhance their performances. My goal is to help my…

Tutors have to be motivators for students to learn something new, by any means. They have to be a able to deliver information in the most understandable way to their student so as to inspire them to love the process of learning. They have to check on the progress of their students consistently to make sure they are on the right track to achieve…

I feel the most common issue holding students back is a lack of confidence on their own ability to complete their work to a level they would find satisfactory. I feel then as a tutor it is most important that I help to develop a sense of proficiency within the student, at which point they will be better able to learn new content and apply it. I…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to be someone that can focus on just them (1-on-1), where a teacher cannot, and to find a specific way to teach them based on the students needs (i.e. How the student learns best?). A teacher is unable to do this as much as they have many students to focus on. But tutors can…

Also, the possibility of giving online lessons might be a good idea for the student to schedule the classes.

I believe patience, resilience, and the ability to think fast to generate alternate ways to regain the student's focus, particularly if they are on the younger side.

Inside Highgate HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Tahlia focused on integrating trigonometric functions and evaluating sine and cosine at various angles, then practiced applying general rules for integration and explored 'integration by recognition' using past exam-style questions.

For Year 10, Olivia worked through index laws, simultaneous equations, and Pythagoras' theorem via targeted problem sets from a practice exam sheet.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Henry tackled surface area calculations for prisms and applied the Pythagorean theorem to measurement problems directly linked to his homework tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student tended to "rush getting through problems," leading to incomplete understanding of methods and less clarity in answers—this became apparent during algebra practice.

For a Year 12 physics assignment, another student struggled to translate graphical information into written analysis; not all details were clearly explained in the report.

In multiple senior math sessions, back checking work for small errors was missed—one tutor noted, "she almost solved the question perfectly but simply made small algebraic errors." Without this habit, time was spent fixing avoidable mistakes rather than tackling more advanced problems or exam strategies.

Recent Achievements

A Highgate Hill tutor recently noticed Tahlia, a senior student, taking charge of her physics experimental report—she not only analysed her results thoroughly but also explained the experiment's limitations independently, something she previously struggled to articulate.

In another session, Lauren in Year 11 tackled advanced trigonometric graphing: after guided practice, she could identify all key parameters from a graph and sketch transformations herself rather than waiting for step-by-step help.

Meanwhile, Ella, who'd changed schools mid-term, asked directly for a refresher on missed maths content instead of passively sitting through confusion; by lesson's end she was confidently solving problems again.

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 West End Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Laurence's College.
