Making the student believe that Knowledge is Power. Understand and identify where exactly the student is struggling or facing difficulties. Also making sure that the student is in the right headspace at the time of studying is equally important. Firstly, I try and understand the current progress of the student. I believe in making the person…

The most critical things a tutor can do are to clarify, establish a supportive and encouraging atmosphere, and help students develop independent problem-solving skills. A tutor should not only help with current school problems but also transfer self-confidence and effective study habits with which students can succeed in school. My strengths as a…

I consider student engagement in a topic is one of the most important things a tutor can encourage in a student, and as someone beginning a Masters in physics I have plenty of enthusiasm myself for learning maths and science. I think that my enthusiasm will encourage students to to develop an enthusiasm of their own for what they are learning, as…

For me, as a student, what I sought from my tutor was discovering how I learn best, rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all approach. I also valued having someone with whom I could freely share my thoughts without fear of judgment, essentially a friend. Intuitive( I can understand and know when a topic boring and making it fun or finding a…

The important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel more confident about their abilities and knowledge.

I think that it's really important to be a good listener so that you can use feedback from students to improve your teaching.

It's also important to recognise that each student could prefer different…

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.
