I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is listen. Listen to their problem, why they may not understand a concept, and then help to solve the problem together. I think that having fun, is also very important. One of my main goals aside from helping a student understand the content, is to help the student enjoy the…

I see students as a clay model, which consists of different minerals and when it is subjected to appropriate pressure and temperature together with proper guidance and methods, it converts into a masterpiece ceramic. Being a tutor is like being their (students) second parent. So I can assure 100% guidance towards their study plan. Help them in…

The most important thing to me is the ability of a tutor to care for and listen to a student. The needs of a students is usually known by the student and is always important to not assume what the student needs but pay attention and listen to them. My strengths include being patient and altering my teaching style to suit the learning style of a…

I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise.

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

I think a really good tutor pays attention to what the student is struggling with and will focus on that topic or subject. It’s really important to target the areas you find the least enjoyable as they are the ones you’re most likely to lose marks on. I also think amazing tutors actually care about their students’ results and that is…

Give them confidence. That I believe is a tutor's most important role. Giving the student confidence in themselves and their abilities and the tools to do so.

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student.

For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not only boost their confidence in a subject, but also their enthusiasm for the subject. Giving students who are bored with the content as they find it too easy more difficult problems peaks their interest, as I have seen in the past. Students who are struggling and as a result lose interest…

Build their confidence, 100%. It's not just about getting the right answers - it's about helping them believe they can get the right answers. I think creating a safe, supportive space where they can make mistakes, ask questions, and feel proud of their progress makes all the difference. I am patient, and I avoid making a student feel silly for not…

I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment. When I was tutoring one Year 5 boy in Shanghai, I helped the boy to rebuild his confidence clarifying the knowledge structure and outlining every day possible targets with an interactive approach. The boy began to be vigorous in his studies and he scored 93/100 from 70/100 in his final.…

Be a good listener, find and offer what a student needs from conversations; and be patient with any questions raised. A good tutor needs to know the content well before a lesson, and always encourage the students even if they answered the question wrong. Take care of the student and respect them.

Inside HughesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Kornel worked on constructing and solving simple linear equations, along with applying scientific notation and significant figures using worksheets.

In Year 10, Maya practiced factorising and expanding quadratic expressions, then moved on to graphing and manipulating parabolas with step-by-step visual examples.

For senior high school, Ethan (Year 11) focused on trigonometric identities through targeted exercises, followed by deeper work on trig functions and the unit circle for exam readiness.

Recent Challenges

Time management challenges in maths exams for a Year 10 student resulted in lingering too long on difficult questions, leaving less time for others. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions she felt less confident in."

In Year 8 algebra sessions, a reluctance to write out all working steps led to errors in squaring within brackets that went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 5 learner, forgetting homework was frequent, causing repeated coverage of past concepts instead of progressing to new material.

A Year 3 student regularly waited for approval before answering, making her hesitant to attempt questions independently.

Recent Achievements

One Hughes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with graphing trig functions last term now drawing accurate graphs with minimal help and explaining their steps.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification started openly voicing questions about quadratic translations, leading her to solve new problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to rely on counting fingers completed timed addition tasks independently and even corrected earlier mistakes on their own during the lesson, showing real initiative.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hughes Primary School.
