Genuinely understanding the students need and tailoring the best approach of teaching accordingly is the best thing a tutor can do. No students are same and have same level of intelligence and this should be considered by the teacher. As a tutor, my biggest strength is that i genuinely love teaching not just solving problems, but explaining deeply…

When being a tutor, I consider the most important thing is not to provide the students with the answer but to guide them through the difficulties of learning. As their predecessor and mentor, I have the responsibility of taking their hands and lead them towards the right path, lighting up the passion of learning in them through my engagement.…

The key benefit of a tutor is that they can provide individualised support for a student. Tutors have the unique position of being able to become very familiar with their students' understanding of subjects, and employ the most effective strategies to improve their learning. While teachers at students' schools often may not be able to allocate…

A tutor should be engaging, understanding and patient. They should strengthen students understandings in topics where they may be struggling.

Inside Potts HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Natalia worked on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and tackled past paper problem-solving questions for the OC maths test.

Year 8 student Ryan focused on rates and ratios, applying them to real-world scenarios, and also reviewed how interest rates work using step-by-step calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Lily practised converting decimals to mixed numbers as well as simplifying equivalent fractions, reinforcing these skills with targeted worksheets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 English, one student's essays were "missing key points in the conclusion," and time management issues showed up during exam writing.

In Year 6 maths, a habit of doing working out mentally instead of on paper led to repeated mistakes with fractions and perimeter; as noted, "he needs to write down his working out rather than doing them in his head."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled with applying the correct formula when faced with multi-step problems, often guessing or choosing at random if unsure—this meant he missed opportunities to learn from feedback and solidify problem-solving strategies.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Potts Hill recently saw Joel, a Year 10 student, shift from writing run-on sentences to spotting and correcting them on his own—something he'd struggled with before.

Sriyan, also in high school, won his class speech competition after working hard on structure and argument; previously, he'd hesitated to present.

In primary years, Adriana surprised her tutor by quickly picking up how decimals work and now solves complex addition problems in her head without prompting.

At the end of her last session, she completed all her fractions homework accurately and explained each answer aloud.

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 Regents Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Birrong Girls High School.
