The ability to understand a student and their learning style is something I highly value in a tutor. In school classes where they are often one of many, they may find that the teaching style may not work for them and that they cannot achieve their goals. In a tutoring scenario, we are able to cater to them more specifically, to be intuitive about…

The most important thing for a tutor is not just about telling the student the right answers but about finding different ways of solving problems. Tutors need to help students develop their understanding of mathematical concepts' properties and shift from concrete materials to abstract concepts. My strengths are knowing the content and knowing my…

Tutor Flora Hill, VIC
Not only is it important to explain concepts well to students, it is also important to create a foundation for students to bounce back on, so that they can understand how to have enhanced learning for the long term. A good tutor should be inspiring so that students will be motivated to be life-long learners. I believe my experience with teaching…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to give them the confidence to believe in their abilities in order for them to view themselves as capable enough to learn new things, work hard and perform their best. This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to improve it.…

Aside from teaching academics, it is important that the tutor understands the student and gives advice on how to be a better student such as being motivated, confident, and of course to see the benefits of the education that they have access to. My strengths as a tutor would be my patience and motivation. I am happy when my students enjoy what…

Tutor Quarry Hill, VIC
Mostly, I think it's important to be consistent in class attendance to make max use out of the limited time period. I also think that always believing in the student makes a huge difference, especially in maths. They need to know that someone sees their capability apart from them. Adding patience to this and allowing them a safe space to make…

I believe being patient and considerate of each student is the most important thing for a tutor to do because this will make the learning space better for the student. If the student feels like their tutor is genuinely caring for their education then they will give their best. I can gauge when a student is or isn't understanding a concept, and can…

A tutor must always fully and wholly understand his content and always develop innovative ways to communicate the information to their students; meaning - don't copy the textbook on a power point, instead develop your own materials My recent conclusion of year 12 gives me fresh knowledge on the current study designs, the appropriate material…

Noah was really comfortable and confident with Naomi and her explanations. We really appreciated her style and kind manner which helped put Noah at ease.

Inside IronbarkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zane worked on mastering order of operations in maths and developed English comprehension by responding to texts in full sentences.

In Year 8, Lily focused on solving linear equations and practiced writing strong essay introductions in English.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Noah explored Pythagoras' theorem and linear equations using diagrams, while also learning how to summarise research notes into his own words for English assignments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to find their previous test for review, making it difficult to address specific feedback or identify recurring errors in algebra and graphing. As a tutor noted, "I was hoping to take a look at Quinn's previous test but we were unable to find it."

In Year 7 maths, untidy working and incomplete steps—especially in long division and addition with carrying—often led to avoidable calculation mistakes.

A primary student's unfinished spelling homework due to a busy week meant fewer opportunities for targeted practice.

At the end of term, tiredness left one Year 8 learner less able to focus during revision.

Recent Achievements

One Ironbark tutor noticed a big change in a Year 9 student who, after weeks of guessing through worded maths problems, now stops to ask for help as soon as she gets stuck—something she used to avoid.

In a recent session with a Year 11 student, the tutor reported that he confidently explained the range and domain on graphs without prompts; last month he couldn't recall which was which.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who once left homework unfinished proudly brought in an organised folder with every task completed and neat, self-checked corrections.

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