The most important thing you can you as a tutor for a student is guidance and patience. You have to consider that every child is unique and has also their own strengths and weaknesses.

English Tutor Vaucluse, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's confidence while developing their understanding of the subject, not simply answering the questions for them which could create a false sense of confidence. My strengths are patience, clear communication, and the ability to explain concepts in different ways depending on how a…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing a tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I believe my…

Build a personal relationship with them and understand what the student does and doesn't like. Having being tutored myself, I didn't respond as well with someone who could not meet me at my level than I did with a tutor who I felt I could relate to and trust. I am calm and caring, which I think is really important in tutoring, especially when…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to act as both an academic and emotional mentor to alleviate some of the stress that comes with studying. Naturally, it is expected for tutors to help students with breaking down the content into manageable concepts for the student to understand. However, aspects such as study…

I believe it is extremely important for a tutor to have similar hobbies or experiences to the student so that the student feels comfortable and safe by taking out the power balance many often feel between their tutor or teacher. This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the student. Having…

A tutors time is the most important thing for a student. If a student requires some extra attention due to doubts it is the duty of the tutor to provide him/her with the extra time and support.

No matter which subject the student is learning, s/he needs to know why s/he needs to learn it. Recently, Diane Tavenner, the innovator of American education encourages students to learn whatever they want by asking them to solve problem by themselves. In the field of applied linguistics, we call it 'boost input by producing output'. I believe…

I think a tutor should empower students to think for themselves, as this is what is required for the student to succeed independently when taking exams. So the most important thing I could do as a tutor is to encourage students to work out answers rather than giving it to them immediately. I pride myself on being patient. I believe strongly that…

Firstly, as a former student I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is inspire and guide a student to learn on their own - as easy as it is to simply give away answers, actually getting someone to really put in a bit more effort is the challenging (and more rewarding) part. After that it just comes down to being able to connect with a…

Create a space of no judgement, there are a lot of questions that students find intimidating to ask in a class environment, so as a tutor, creating a safe space for them to ask those questions is the most important goal to achieve. Not only does this allow for a further understanding of a topic, but also allows the student to be able to enjoy the…

I believe a tutor should be understanding, patient, passionate, and encouraging.

You must be there to support them through their obstacles and successes and be an ear to listen when things become overwhelming. A tutor…

From experience, I as a student do much better in subjects that I am passionate about and feel excited to study, rather than just trying to achieve high grades. I believe that students that are more passionate in their studies will…

Local Reviews

Excellent and responsive customer advice. The tutor we've been matched with is wonderful.
Kathryn Lamond, Queenscliff

Inside QueenscliffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Toren practised multiplication with more than two digits using lattice multiplication and worked independently on one-digit multiplication with carrying.

Year 6 student Morgan focused on correcting decimal worksheets for improved accuracy and then moved to advanced multiplication, applying lattice methods to problems involving larger numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Charlie completed NAPLAN maths practice sheets, reviewing skills in number sense and basic operations as part of homework support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student repeatedly mixed up addition and subtraction when working independently, especially during homework involving borrowing—"her homework shows that she confuses addition and subtraction during independent work."

In upper primary maths, another struggled to systematically show all steps in long division and fraction simplification; she often relied on intuition but missed key algorithmic steps, making errors harder to find.

At the high school level, one Year 10 student skimmed through exam questions too quickly without fully extracting what was being asked—this led to misinterpreting multi-step problems in algebra and losing marks despite knowing the concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Queenscliff tutor noted a big shift with a Year 8 student who used to rush through fraction questions and miss key steps; now, after patient practice, she's pausing to check her work and caught her own error on an equivalent fractions problem before moving on.

A Year 10 student has started asking for clarification in algebra sessions instead of staying quiet when confused—a real change from his earlier reluctance to engage. Started asking for clarification is a meaningful step forward in his confidence and participation.

In Year 5 maths, one student initially found lattice multiplication overwhelming but is now working independently through each step and completed her latest worksheet without any help.

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 Northern Beaches Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stella Maris College.
