I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for their students is create a learning space and environment which makes the student feel relaxed, supported and confident. Most often students who seek out tutoring, are those students who really struggle to grasp and retain concepts taught in class; and therefore often these students lack…

Being patient is definitely important as many students won't understand concepts the first time around and also making sure you are attentive to each student's own strengths and weaknesses to be able to guide them in the best way possible. I think I am good at being able to explain challenging concepts clearly and express them in an understandable…

Making learning seem like its not a chore and instead something that can be enjoyed is one key role a tutor can play. I am a patient person and do not mind taking the time to understand a child's weaknesses and help them through it to the best of my ability. I am also good with communication and have the ability to get my point across…

I think most importantly a tutor should teach the student how to learn. Other than having a passion and knowledge of the material; I think it's also important to be a good listener and be able to pick up whether the student really understands, tailoring your approach to the student. My main weaknesses are my limited experience in tutoring and…

In my opinion, the tutor must be able to make ideas more basic for the student, which is the most effective way to teach someone. You can’t teach someone rocket science if they can’t do linear equations, so first teach them linear equations. Also often a student has an easier way of understanding than a teacher has given them, and so it helps…

My maths teacher always said that giving students 'a spark in their chest to learn' was the most valuable thing that a teacher could give to students. I absolutely agree. I was once a student who only studied because I knew that had to but, I had several teachers in my high school & university that gave me a spark and passion to LEARN rather than…

Show the student how manageable getting good grades in a subject really is and how capable they are of doing so. Often students may think that a subject is really hard to do well in or they are not good enough, but it’s just a matter of learning things the correct way and putting in the hours and then they will see it’s not actually as hard as…

To make sure they understand a concept fully, and why it makes sense, especially in maths and science.

To make sure that the student has actually understood what the tutor is wanting to teach or what the student is wanting to know.

While it is important that the concepts that need to be taught by the curriculum are taught, what is the most important is that the students have a strong perspective of the material in a big picture sense, so that when they think back to the concepts they've learned, they dont think about the formulas they learned, but rather what those formulas…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is teach a student how to teach themselves and be self sufficient.

When tutoring I believe my experience…

I believe that a tutor plays an incredible different role to the classroom teacher. Being a role that has one-on-one interaction with a student, a tutor's most important thing is to focus their practice and method to the individual characteristics of the student. An example of this could be having activities with high intensity and movement for…

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.
