The most important thing is to probably instead of spoonfeeding the information to the student, communicate the importance of practice, discipline and routine. Moreover, to guide them along with their curiosity instead of just giving them questions to do. I think my adaptability would be useful for fields that I might not be as experienced at. My…

For it's most important for a tutor or mentor to encourage asking. You won't know anything unless you ask for it. More importantly, this builds a person's confidence, which is especially helpful in succeeding. My strengths as a tutor are patience and perseverance. I do not stop until the end goal is achieved. I persist as necessary to succeed, not…

Treat the student in a nonthreatening, calm manner. Respect the student and their thought processes and engage them in the material. Do not be hyper-critical. It is the tutors responsibility to ensure the student fully understands a concept, i.e. they are able to apply knowledge by themselves especially in areas such as mathematics and physics. I…

I think understanding is the most important skill for a tutor to possess. Explaining a topic is one thing, but doing so at a level that is useful for the student is another thing entirely. As a tutor, you need to be able to understand what it is that a student already understands, what it is they are struggling with, and why they are struggling.…

The best thing I can do is to generate interest of the student in that particular subject. That way, the student can get his own way at that subject later on.

It is also important to understand questions asked by students and give appropriate answers to their questions. Students need to be acknowledged and respected.

While one of the important roles a tutor plays is to help students in their understanding, I believe the most important role is to incentivise and motivate hard work, especially by setting a good example. Tutors can only be with their students for a few hours a week, so the onus is on the student themselves to get the hard work done. The…

Instead, I try to recognize what each student…

Similar to my response to the last question, I believe a tutor exists to personalise the teaching experience. What this means is understanding exactly what it is the student that gets the student stuck on a certain topic. It may be the whole topic in general or it may be that one small concept is throwing them off, but the most important thing a…

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.
