I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is be a student's number one supporter. School fills you with enough doubt as is, so it is imperative to create a safe learning environment for them to make mistakes in order to grow. This goes hand in hand with being a role model whom they can be inspired & motivated by and look up to. I believe…

Reflecting on my year 12 as got a score that I felt wasn't enough for medicine (96.00 ATAR), I have learnt to become someone who is collaborative and believes in a growth mindset after my a failure. in Year 12. I believe…

Definitely support the student, always be there if they need help with questions and a crucial quality that a good tutor must have is patience in my opinion.

I believe that communication skills and patience is most crucial. Being able to explain a hard subject to simpler words so a student can understand is one of the most essential thing I figured throughout my tutoring experiences. Tutors should also be ready to answer any questions asked by students. I am capable of elaborating subjects, I adapt and…

To teach them life skills such as being able to add, subtract, tell the time, spellings, nouns, pronouns etc which will come in very handy and is used in everyday life. I am pretty good in Maths and English so those are my strongest subjects…

Everybody learns differently, and trying to apply the same approach to everyone is going to leave students struggling and frustrated.

Helping them grow, both academically and in extracurricular aspects.

Honestly - be patient and adaptable. So many kids have come to me after school and shown me a method that their teacher absolutely insists they use, and that they just completely don’t get. Every child learns differently. There’s no point trying to force a specific method if it simply doesn’t work for them - I struggled with this as a…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them.

Local Reviews

I think Molly is really getting a lot out of the sessions and a lot of support. I think that she is also a good role model for Molly.
Cate

Inside PrahranTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Ava focused on applying the Pythagorean Theorem to word problems and practiced unit conversions for measurement, including using conversion prefixes.

In Year 9, Nicholas worked through negative integers and reviewed fraction concepts, while also tackling algebraic skills like solving single-variable equations and simplifying expressions.

For Year 11, Ben prepared for an upcoming probability test by analyzing tree diagrams and completed exam revision covering parabolas and key syllabus topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes "guessed what to do next" in algebra instead of logically working through each step, which led to avoidable errors when negative numbers appeared.

In a senior session, forgetting to bring completed homework meant valuable time was spent reconstructing past work rather than tackling new challenges.

For a Year 10 trigonometry task, "relying too heavily on formulas" without understanding when or why to use them caused confusion on non-standard problems.

As one tutor noted, "skipping steps made mistakes with + and – harder to catch."

Neatness in written solutions often lagged behind verbal reasoning, especially during revision.

Recent Achievements

A Prahran tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally nail SOH CAH TOA, now manipulating trig equations independently after struggling to set them up on her own.

One high schooler earned full marks on a quiz—word problems included—when last term he hesitated with multi-step solutions and often skipped them altogether.

Another secondary student who used to quietly guess at answers has started speaking up about learning strategies, even offering feedback mid-session.

This week, a younger student completed her entire practice paper before the lesson and came prepared with specific questions she'd written down herself.

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 Prahran / Windsor Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Prahran High School.
