Giving them encouragement and prompting them to keep trying. Emphasizing repetition is very important. It builds a 'keep trying' attitude in the students that will carry them through school and further on in their lives. I am patient with students. I make an effort to be calm, and try different ways of explaining concepts/ideas/techniques so that…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to inspire confidence, make learning enjoyable, and nurture independent thinking. From my experience tutoring O Level students and peers at Monash College, I’ve learned that academic success starts with self-belief. One student I tutored in Physics used to think the subject was…

a tutor first needs to understand the capability of the student considering all the strengths and weakness and work on it. Only just transforming knowledge will not help the child grow but instead develop a liking for that particular subject will make that child understand it more easily. Temporary teaching does't work in this teaching field.…

First and foremost, for the student to improve his/her results in school. And beyond that, to get them to enjoy what they're doing (at least somewhat) - and push them into thinking creatively and originally. Also important, is to encourage and emphasize how what they're learning, will be relevant and useful in their day-to-day lives. I feel that…

Encouragement. Learning something new can be hard. Things that do not come easily have the potential to discourage us, but the only way for anyone to fail is if they give up.

Provide the student with a safe learning space and supporting the student in their learning.

I think that the most important thing that a tutor can do is relentlessly believe that the student is capable of learning and has the capacity to achieve. When the student sees this demonstrated week after week, they begin to also believe in their own capacity to achieve. This means that a tutor can impact students far beyond the current concepts…

My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me.

Inside New PortTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Maddison discussed her challenges with fractions, division, and algebra, then mapped out a plan to improve by taking better notes and seeking returned assessments.

For Year 10 topics, Sarah focused on mastering indices through reviewing quiz errors and practiced applying the gradient formula to graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Daniel consolidated his understanding of multiplication and division, then tackled coordinate geometry problems involving points on a graph and the use of the gradient formula.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student arrived without her homework or word list, which meant spelling practice could not happen as planned.

In Year 11 Maths Methods, one student admitted to "not having practised any of the work she was taught this week," resulting in confusion during revision for an upcoming test.

Another Year 9 student struggled to locate completed homework, so much of the session was spent redoing those tasks rather than moving forward.

One senior student relied heavily on mental maths in circle problems—she needs to learn to write out each step as she goes—which led to unnecessary errors and lost time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in New Port noticed a Year 9 student has started taking real initiative, now regularly asking her teacher for test feedback and attempting all assigned homework without reminders—this shift from passively waiting to actively seeking improvement is new for her.

In Year 11 maths, one student who used to rush through problems is now pausing to double-check steps and talks out loud as she works, helping catch mistakes before they happen.

Meanwhile, Esther in Year 3 recently moved up four reading levels and finished a much longer book than usual during her session.

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 West Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Portside Christian College.
