A tutor's most important role is to create an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. I learned this from my own tutor, who was friendly and patient, letting me make mistakes before gently guiding me to the right answers. One of my strengths as a tutor is open communication with families, working together…

In my opinion it is important to have to ability to maintain the interest of the student through out sessions. And this only does not apply during the sessions, it is crucial to make sure that the students have interest to attend the upcoming sessions. Not being able to create the interest the student has towards a tutors sessions, a session is of…

Tutoring is the only profession which lets students to decide their profession. Without a tutor, a bright student cannot succeed in his/her life what he is capable and its a need in todays life for every child because parents dont have that much time to teach their kids.

For a tutor to be an eloquent individual immersed with a wealth of knowledge it useless, if they do not frequently follow up with their students. It needs "regular maintenance" in car analogy. Tutoring is a marathon not a sprint. Tutors must hope to retain the students’ knowledge rather than sophisticatedly teach content without regular revision…

Understanding is one of the most important things as you need to understand the student's problems, understand the solutions and help them understand. Another thing is trust to break down the fundamental issues of a student; they need to trust you enough to be comfortable sharing their weaknesses. My strength as a tutor is my empathy as it is a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that concepts are fully clear. When a student understands the topic well, they should feel confident in solving similar questions on their own. Building this confidence not only helps in academics but also encourages independent learning, which is essential for long-term…

Patience is probably one of the most important characteristics of a tutor. Even if the students ask the most basic question, always demonstrate your patience. Also, tutors should encourage students to be the best they can, to reach their goals, to recognize their strengths, to focus on learning how to learn so that they will be successful in the…

I personally consider the interactive and "adaptive" aspects of being a tutor to be the most important things a tutor can do for their student. In my opinion, keeping the student engaged, such as through mini breaks or games between long sessions of work, is the most effective way of teaching them in a fun, yet informative manner. Moreover, being…

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.
