Ensuring your student is feeling comfortable and confident to try new things is paramount. A student needs to understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process. They need to feel safe and comfortable to make mistakes. I also try to incorporate the interests of a student into learning where possible. E.g. turning a math problem…

I believe that the three most important things that a tutor can do for a student, perhaps the only important things which a teacher should do, are to make students curious about what they are learning and appreciate the beauty of what they are learning by developing a way of thinking of their own. I understand and appreciate the beauty and depth…

Being able to formulate different approaches on the go is something a tutor should be able to do in order for the students to understand at their own pace. A tutor should also be patient in order to make the student feel welcomed whenever they are in a predicament academically. Other than that, a tutor should be friendly so the students feel…

A tutor should understand the students needs and find a way to deliver information based on the students personality. Every student is different and every case should be treated differently.

I believe every student has the potential to become their best self. In addition to providing emotional support, I believe tutors should actively support students' dreams by helping them set clear and achievable goals. For example, the SMART technique allows students to track their progress, which promotes independence and self-directed learning.…

I believe that as a tutor, what I can help with most is finding out the missing links in the knowledge network of my students and helping them to make those up. No matter at what point my students start, I think my job is to help them realise they can always make progress from there and reach a more advanced level. I am good at guiding students to…

In school, they teach students based on a certain method that suits a cohort or class of students, which caused some students to lag behind. I find that as a tutor, we need to identify which part is lagging behind, then tackle it together with the student. I am friendly so I could easily build a rapport with my students. I come in understanding…

Be understanding and patient. Each student is trying to reach a goal, and as a tutor, I have to help them achieve that goal without taking away their effort. I think I can connect well with students.

To me, a tutor can make learning real,relevant and interesting.Tutor can make learning relevant to students's interest which in itself is half the battle won as research has proved that one learns things quickly if those aligns to one's interest. For e.g., a student who like solving maths puzzles will quickly learn new formulas and other things…

A tutor should focus on empowering the student, rather than simply teaching the content to them, so that when the tutor is not present, the student is still able to motivate themselves and have confidence in their ability without having someone to rely on.

For a student, the most essential thing a tutor can do is imparting complete knowledge as half knowledge is dangerous. So, when a child is fully aware of something, he can be confident enough to explore more beyond his imagination. A tutor must be resilient enough to teach students in the best way. The strength of a tutor lies in his knowledge and…

Treat each student as an individual person. The same methods of tutoring might not apply on the other. Moreover patience is necessary. Tutors should maintain a pace comfortable for the student. Tutors should be humble enough to admit if they don't know few answers and should be able to research and provide the answers to the student. I learn…

Empathy: Understand how the student is feeling or understood a particular concept based on their behavioural and body language cues. This is because most students do not give explicit feedback.

Easy to book. Tutor at first glance was quite young but, very sensitive to the needs of my teen and after three weeks is already more confident. Very professional service from both the tutor and head office. Highly recommended!

Inside MaidstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ruby focused on trigonometry in right-angled triangles and practiced applying Pythagoras' theorem to worded problems.

In Year 10, Adam tackled expanding and factorising quadratics, reinforcing his understanding by working through algebraic examples step-by-step.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Sam reviewed the difference between perimeter and area using measurement tasks and deepened skills with fractions, including finding lowest common multiples and adding unlike denominators.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student tackling trigonometry sometimes swapped formulas or forgot which process to use, leading to confusion during practice tests—"he forgets the formula or what to do and requires me to rejog."

In Year 9 algebra, one student hesitated to write out steps, thinking in her head instead; this made it hard for her to remember content and led to lost marks when checking answers.

A Year 8 student gave up quickly on harder problems, asking for hints rather than reviewing earlier examples.

When homework was missed in Year 7 maths, gaps appeared with reverse operations, slowing progress in class.

Recent Achievements

One Maidstone tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on vector problems; now he confidently explains each step and applies methods across different questions.

Another high schooler recently sat a 45-minute test without distraction—she concentrated the whole time, then debated her answers during review instead of second-guessing herself like before.

A younger student has started using her fingers to work through tricky multiplication and division tasks, showing new independence where she once hesitated to try alone.

Last week, one girl finished all her homework on time and even picked up a new formula by herself without being prompted.

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 Maribyrnong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Footscray North Primary School.
