I believe as a tutor the ultimate goal is to help the student become an independent learner. Also, confidence is the basic quality of a tutor. It also means that you have the courage to admit that you don't know the answer. Knowing that you are not absolutely correct, so that students may feel better. Lastly, be willing to share your own…

As mentioned, creating an alternate method for rote learning is to let the concept sink in through simple derivations and i have used it in my past so i'd love to pass it on to my students. For being a mathematics tutor, i believe the most important element is to not just bombard students with formulas but to explain it to them where they came…

Patient. Patience is key when it comes to teaching younger people something new, especially if they are not good at it. A good tutor will always be patients and find multiple action plans for their students to achieve the end result.

Increasing a student's grade or helping them understand a single concept are just some of the things that most people look for in a tutor. While these are undoubtedly worthwhile indicators of a tutor's ability to teach a student, they are often mercurial and temporary once the tutoring stops. I firmly believe that what differentiates a good tutor…

Firstly, improve a student's knowledge and understanding of the tutored subject, ensuring they are familiar with the required theory and are able to apply their knowledge to application format questions. That is the most important thing a tutor can provide, as well as the core purpose of the job. Secondly, a tutor can provide resources to help a…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make sure every student feels able to ask for help, not just the confident ones. Through my own tutoring I noticed that some students with real potential held back in group settings because they were shy or unsure how to phrase what they didn't understand, and without someone actively checking in,…

A tutor should first be the student's friend. We should build camaraderie towards our students so that they will be willing to listen to us, which will give the teachers easier time throughout the sessions. Tutors should also give their best to teach their students and give quality education. They should ensure the students learn the lessons…

Be patient and go through the questions very clearly and slowly until they understand the concept in depth. I also think teaching the students content ahead of the class will ensure they can have a better understanding when they get taught it in school and already know the foundation I'm patient with students and will go through questions slowly…

I reckon the most important thing is to understand a student’s weakness, where they mess up or the concepts they are uncomfortable with. Through such understanding, the tutor can make personalised practice/tutoring that can help the student reach their goals.

The most important things are: 1. Provide an environment where genuine learning is encouraged. 2.

Tailor your approach so that it matches the student's learning…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is that they can truly understand the student's problem and help in a way best suited for the individual instead of a generic method. They should also assist the student and not add to their difficulty in understanding the topic. My strengths are that I am a good listener and can articulate my…

Inside MitchamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sav explored the key themes and ideas in George Orwell's 1984 and practised structuring analytical essay introductions and body paragraphs.

Year 11 student Manya focused on using sentence starters to build effective analytical paragraphs, as well as analysing symbols within her set text beyond surface meaning.

In VCE Biology, Year 12 student Zoe reviewed core bioethical principles before tackling dihybrid cross questions with worked examples drawn from past exam papers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled with timed essay writing—she finds it difficult to finish introductions quickly, which meant her full responses were often incomplete during practice.

In VCE Biology, the same student's errors on bioethics MCQs stemmed from insufficient revision and confusion between key definitions, especially when "extra information in questions" was present.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student repeatedly omitted full sentences and overlooked grammatical details in reading tasks; she also mixed up number placement in long division and left times-tables unmastered past 6×9.

During English lessons, messy paragraph structure made it hard for teachers to follow her argument progression.

Recent Achievements

One Mitcham tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after previously skipping questions under time pressure, now works through them methodically—recently answering previously missed exam questions correctly when given more support with timing strategies.

Another high schooler, Sav, moved from struggling to identify what made an essay strong to confidently breaking down sample introductions and structuring her own without much prompting.

For a younger student, Tia initially found combinations and reading comprehension challenging but now shows real independence by tackling tricky maths scenarios step-by-step and consistently finding key answers directly from the text.

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 Nunawading Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John's School.
