A tutor should be the mentor for students and guide them the way rather than just spoon-feeding them with the content. Also, a tutor should always remain unbiased towards the students. Talking about my strengths, I am capable of teaching students in such a way that they are able to relate to what I am explaining in the first go and I think that is…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understanding and give motivations to students especially when they are having difficulties. This is because, with empathy and encouragement, students will perform better as they are more engaged and motivated in subjects they are studying. Furthermore, a tutor should give strategies…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where students feel safe to ask questions without fear of feeling “stupid†and to support them at their individual level. By meeting students where they are and encouraging progress at their own pace, tutors can build confidence, foster…

To be able to truly listen to a student about what exactly they are struggling/worried about, and help them gain confidence in their own abilities. For students that are already doing quite well academically, the best thing a tutor could do is enhance their curiosity for knowledge and help them extend their knowledge. Most of all, making learning…

The most important thing is to consider who they are as a person. Everyone learns better differently, so to effectively tutor you need to be adaptive and able to explain and assist through multiple methods depending on the student. My strengths are my ability to communicate go and relate to others. This allows me to better help them, as I can find…

Tutor Officer, VIC
A tutor must always be there for their students, support them through their struggles on a particular topic/subject. But as well as adapting to different styles of delivering content to the student, as each student excels through different methods of teaching. As a tutor I believe it is not the amount of knowledge of tutor knows but the…

It is very important for a tutor to ensure that that their student knows that they are capable of improving and doing better. Believing in students and appearing as a relatable mentor figure helps students feel more confident in their abilities and also encourages them to keep trying harder as although they may be struggling now, with the help of…

To become a mentor, not just in studies but also help them overcome problems that they may be facing. I believe it is important that they improve gradually with confidence and liking towards the subject.

Inside Officer SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Elisha worked on place value and long multiplication, stepping back to solidify foundational number skills before moving towards more complex operations.

In Year 7, Naomi focused on algebraic techniques and understanding place values, starting with a pre-year assessment to identify strengths and gaps.

For Year 8, Colin practiced simplifying algebraic expressions and explored different types of number patterns, using worked examples for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes left homework incomplete, as seen when sections of assigned work were missing; this meant time in-session was spent catching up rather than extending learning.

In a senior maths session, confusion arose during trigonometry problems due to over-reliance on calculators and skipping written working—"he did it all on the calculator but couldn't explain the steps."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student avoided longer worded questions in her workbook by skipping them entirely if they looked complex, only realising their simplicity once reviewed together.

One Year 10 student repeatedly overlooked tutor feedback, especially regarding misreading perimeter and area questions, which led to recurring errors across tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Officer South tutor noticed a big shift in Naomi, a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on worded maths questions—she now pauses to break down what's being asked before starting her calculations, instead of guessing or freezing.

In another high school session, Ella managed to factorise and expand independently after struggling with these steps earlier in the term.

For a younger student, Elisha (Year 5) has begun reading more fluently out loud and recently wrote two essays packed with detailed ideas, showing she's moving from basic summaries to richer writing without prompting.

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 Pakenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cardinia Primary School.
