English Tutor Frankston South, VIC
The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the tools and open-mindedness to come up with various ways of potentially solving problems themselves. Giving students the breadth of knowledge to look at problems from different angles and to have the skills to tackle foreign problems based off the problems we have done together. I…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to establish a good relationship where they feel comfortable to approach the tutor. A tutor should also be able to understand their student's strengths and weaknesses and construct a learning experience based on them. I believe my strengths lie in the ability to quickly…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build confidence, provide clarity, and encourage curiosity. Building confidence is essential because students often struggle more with self-doubt than with the material itself. By being encouraging and celebrating progress, a tutor can help students trust their abilities and…

Developing a relationship with students. From experience, if there is no relationship with a student, the less likely they are going to want to learn and engage in my tutoring sessions. With this I took the time to have a one on one session with this particular child, asked questions about his family, his interests etc. From then on, has become…

English Tutor Frankston, VIC
One of the most important things would be improving the students knowledge of the areas of maths/English we’ve been looking into. Also, to make sure the student knows it’s okay to find it difficult, it’s about the attitude and effort in overcoming the problem. Lastly, as a tutor it would be amazing for the student to start or continue to…

A tutor should also strive to build foster students' confidence so that they can fulfil their academic potential and eventually solve problems autonomously.

It is important for a tutor to be approachable and friendly so a student can ask questions and feel comfortable doing so. Additionally, it is important that a tutor is well educated as they are providing information and must be able to convey it correctly. Finally, discipline and understanding, a tutor must understand how to approach and aid their…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is remember exactly how it felt to learn and struggle to complete the work initially. The tutor should always be patient and understanding and ensure the students knowledge is at competent level, to ensure the work can be completed independently. My strengths as a tutor are that I refuse to…

Inside Mount ElizaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla focused on strengthening multiplication and long division skills, along with an introduction to working with fractions.

In Year 10, Olivia worked through quadratic equations by completing the square and applying the quadratic formula to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Harry tackled integration techniques for trigonometric functions and practised applying these methods to real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling algebraic fractions avoided showing full working, especially when negatives appeared—"he'd skip lines to keep the page tidy, but then sign errors crept in."

In a senior Methods lesson, one student relied heavily on notes and calculator for exact trig values, which slowed recall during integration questions.

A Year 10 learner faced setbacks with worded problems: not underlining key information meant missing marks despite understanding content.

For another, inconsistent formatting of answers in Year 7 math led to confusion; as noted, "formatting caused him to get a few questions wrong where his math was good."

Recent Achievements

One Mount Eliza tutor noted a Year 11 student who previously struggled to see connections in calculus now confidently uses first principles to differentiate, even applying the chain rule unprompted during practice.

In Year 9, a student who used to rely heavily on hints for algebraic rearrangement managed last week to solve simultaneous equations independently and checked their work without help.

Meanwhile, a younger learner—Year 4—who often second-guessed her answers before is now quick to show her working for multi-step addition and subtraction, proudly explaining each step aloud.

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 Mornington Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Eliza Secondary College.
