A tutor’s most important role is to build confidence, not just deliver information. This means creating a supportive environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. A tutor should identify gaps in understanding, provide clear guidance, and teach effective study habits. Most importantly, a tutor…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is listen attentively, and bring excitement into each session. Tutoring is more listening to the areas in which the student is confused rather than trying to explain everything. It is also essential to have enthusiasm about topics, because if you aren’t interested in a subject then the student who…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subject matter they are teaching enjoyable to learn. This is important because learning should be something we actively engage in and if a tutor can make it so the students seek out learning more readily then they have already succeeded in some sense. As a tutor my strengths are…

A tutor needs to help the students understand the concepts and the "why" behind the problem. This allows them to be able to solve problems on their own and increase their confidence. Creating a judgment-free and supportive environment, where students can ask questions and mistakes are not punished, is essential for a tutor to help a student…

Inside Mount StuartTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Scarlett focused on improving sentence structure by practicing with independent and dependent clauses, and explored word relationships through activities involving synonyms, antonyms, and analogies.

Year 11 student Aimee worked through stoichiometry problems such as mole-mass conversions and balancing equations, then moved on to revision of organic chemistry concepts in preparation for an upcoming SAC.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Charli concentrated on the adaptive immune system by applying her knowledge to relevant exam-style questions and also reviewed evolution content using class notes and practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes became overwhelmed by complex questions, leading her to overcomplicate answers rather than break them down into manageable parts. As one tutor noted, "She needs to be more meticulous when applying the rules because it is easy to make small errors."

In Year 7 English, Scarlett tended to answer sentence structure questions too quickly without fully processing them—she would realise immediately after that she'd misunderstood or missed key elements.

For both students, skipping careful revision and not systematically reviewing marked-up feedback led to repeated mistakes in later tasks and reduced their confidence when new material was introduced.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Stuart tutor noticed Aimee taking real initiative by tackling chemistry questions before they'd even been covered in class and then applying new methods independently—something she hadn't attempted before.

Charli, also in high school, has shifted from quietly working to now actively asking clarifying questions during sessions and using diagrams when unsure, which helps her check her own understanding.

Meanwhile, Zane made noticeable progress in English by reading an article aloud with clear expression and confidently paraphrasing its main points after initially struggling to summarise information on his own.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Stuart Primary School.
