First of all, empathy so student never feels uncomfortable about not knowing a topic. Secondly, the ability to listen is as important as explaining things, so I'll be able to understand their point of view on a specific problem/subject. And, of course, the knowledge the tutor provides will be a main achievement and a perfect indicator of progress.…

I think one extremely important thing a tutor can do is to adapt their teaching to the individual needs and abilities of each student, and adapt themselves to the student, not force the student to adapt to them. This involves listening to the student and observing how they work and then responding to those things. Another extremely important thing…

I think a good tutor is beyond just a subject matter expert and can be conducive to the development of the student as a whole. I feel the concept of tutoring is very personal and that a tutor should make a student feel comfortable enough to encourage him/her to view the tutor as a confidante. Furthermore, there's the added advantage of being able…

A tutor should be able to build confidence for a student in a subject that is not their strongest. By building this confidence, students can go into exams with a clear understanding of the subject.

I think the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach him different things while motivating the student and making sure he/she/they understand the essence of the teaching so that they can apply it in daily life rather than asking them to memorize different things. This way the students not only get good grades but also store whatever…

If I can make a student begin thinking more about the subject than just a grade to obtain, I would have felt that I made one more curious person.

Tutors have two roles, One is to actively support the student who might be struggling to cope up with their peers and/or looking to improve their performance. The second is to make the student learn in a different environment from their school. Schools have multiple children and every child has some issue they are facing. As a tutor sitting 1-1…

Lauren was great, she was punctual, friendly and professional. My daughter warmed to her straight away and is already looking forward to her next lesson.
Sophie, Mount Hawthorn

Inside Mount HawthornTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily focused on converting mixed numbers and improper fractions, as well as identifying and simplifying similar fractions using visual aids.

In Year 8, Sarah tackled solving more complex linear equations and practiced creating flow charts to clearly show her working out.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Joshua worked through probability questions, including the use of Venn diagrams to represent outcomes and calculate combined probabilities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, a reluctance to show working when tackling complex multiplication or linear equations led to hidden errors—one tutor observed, "she needed reminders to set out each step for clarity."

Meanwhile, in Year 10 English, an assignment draft was marked by run-on sentences and confusion with key terms; without concise planning, ideas became too broad for timed tasks.

For a Year 5 student revising times tables, focusing only on familiar patterns meant less progress with the 8s and 9s.

In these moments, confidence dipped as tasks grew more challenging or feedback was missed in real time.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Hawthorn tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously struggled to include key elements in essay responses now consistently highlights all keywords from prompts and ensures every aspect is addressed—this shift has made her written plans much more thorough.

In Year 8, a student who used to hesitate asking for help with fiction analysis now speaks up whenever she's unsure, leading to real improvements in her understanding of plot and character.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who found linear equations confusing last term can now confidently solve them using flow charts without any guidance.

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 City of Vincent Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Hawthorn Primary School.
