Tutor Mount Waverley, VIC
I believe most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide a safe and encouraging space where the student feels free to voice any of their concerns or to ask questions. In addition to this a tutor should be commited to understanding the learning style of their student and the ways in which they respond to different teaching methods in…

Khushbu
Tutor Mount Waverley, VIC
I believe that the best thing that a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the self-confidence and self-belief to persevere through any difficulties they may face in their academics. This can be done through the gradual withdrawal of support as the student grows in their skills and confidence. Once the student has established their…

Muhammad
Tutor Mount Waverley, VIC
The best thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand the student's academic needs and address them in a very professional way. Most of the times, teachers and tutors don't listen to the problems of the individuals in their class and hence those problems often remain unsolved.
In my point of view, every student has potential and a…

Tutor Mount Waverley, VIC
Tutors must be able to adapt themselves to every student that they work with. Since there is no universal formula, your approach must depend on the student’s individual need and the particular difficulties he or she experiences. Every student is different, and not all of them will grasp a concept easily or learn quickly. It is also most likely…

Most important thing would be empathy. A tutor has to put himself/herself in the shoes of the student. Knowing the material in great detail is half the battle won. You also need to have patience and cannot expect all students to have the same speed in learning things. It takes time to build concepts. Brick by brick. You cannot build a wall in one…

Inside PinewoodTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
