Being supportive for a student no matter what the situation is. Creating a realistic goal and achievement for the student and working together to strive towards that. Teaching a student through hands on activities and hands on work rather than a sheet of paper and assignment. Persistent but not pushy. Dedicated person putting in all my strength…

As a tutor, my job is to help a learner achieve their academic goals and guide them through their academic struggles. It's truly rewarding when you can see how your efforts helped improve a learner's grade on a test or report. At the end of the day, all that matters is the smile on your learner's face as they express their pride in themselves. I…

I consider many things which a tutor can do for a student like a tutor can also be a motivator for his students and motivate them to learn. He must clarify the concepts and solve the doubts of his students. A tutor can build a supportive & encouraging environment which can empower students to become independent learners. Being a tutor, I find my…

I think a teacher should continually assess teaching and solicit feedback from students so that he/she can adapt teaching style to their needs and increase effectiveness. As a teacher, I pushed my learning and understanding to a specific border where I came to the level of student understanding and been useful in clearing, giving and cementing…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do is to provide individualised instruction, as well as a safe and non-judgemental learning environment to student, something that they may not be able to obtain in a normal big-size class with limited time to teach an increasingly information-heavy curriculum. I have been tutoring students…

One of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to make students comfortable with learning in the subjects and guide them to keep on track in their studies. It is more about train students to solve problems rather than telling them answers. 1. My knowledge of mathematics would be a strength for me as I have a bachelor degree…

I think the most important thing to understand as a tutor is that different students think differently. Certain students will naturally have more or less affinity to different subjects, but also different ways of learning. Trying to figure out which way to best teach requires understanding which way students are best able to learn. For instance,…

Motivate their students. I have a motto that I tell all of my members: "It doesn't matter if we get it right or wrong. An incorrect answer is an opportunity to learn something new." It's something I truly believe and something the children I tutor respond really well to. It takes the pressure off the need to be perfect and instead focuses them on…

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.
