To let the student understand the mechanism or logic behind the problem, not simply solving the question he/she is facing. To be able to teach the ability of solving problems, not merely providing solutions to the questions. Once as a bilingual international student, I was not only once the role or student and tutor. I started learning English at…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student for mi consideration would be listening to my students and get to know them in order to adjust and assess my strategy and way of teaching as a tutor, and in that way the tutor can be the most creative as it can, giving hints and techniques to students on how to think by themselves, question…

A tutor is someone that the student can feel comfortable, confident whilst being in a welcoming environment to ask and reach out about any questions regarding schooling subjects, and as well a support network to help build their pathway to reach their own successes. A tutor is there to be an extra pair of hands in explaining, discussing topics…

The most important thing I can do as a tutor is foster a sense of confidence and independence in a student. While academic guidance is essential, I make it a priority to create a supportive and non-judgmental space which encourages students to engage more actively in their learning. I also recognise that every student learns differently, so I…

Consistency. I have been a tutor to some students for over a year.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be able to explain how to solve problems in several different ways, particularly if a student is struggling to understand how to solve it the first time. These problem solving skills will help them in other areas as well, such as chemistry and physics. My main strength as a tutor…

In my opinion, the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to tailor their help to the individual student. For example, the tutor should listen to the student, assess what exactly they struggle with and what they dislike and like about their subjects. This allows the tutor to personalise the teaching to help their tutee as…

To inspire them, to teach them, to help them and to be a role model. We can have fun during activities and do serious work when we should. It is through the Tutor that the student will probably choose his field for his career, so the Tutor has to be really encouraging. My strength would be the ability to connect to the students, by building a…

I consider listening and adapting two very important skills that a tutor can apply during a session. Tutors are supposed to listen to the students, their needs, what they do not understand, what they do understand, and how they can understand it better. Therefore, we have to adapt the class according to what we see. I am a very optimistic person…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ignite a passion and 'vision' for learning. Our current society tends to view academia as a means to an end as opposed to an ends in itself, and if a tutor awakens a love for the subject in his student, then they have succeeded. By doing so, the student becomes more engaged and receptive…

Personally I think the most important strategy a tutor can adopt is to try and give the student the space to figure out the answer themselves; rather than giving it to them. This will force the student to take an active approach to learning rather than passively listening to the tutor, which I have learnt can be tempting but is ultimately less…

Inside RichmondTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sam worked on reviewing questions missed in Maths Space, with a focus on statistics and interpreting data sets.

For Year 8, Mia covered the foundations of algebra including expanding brackets and factoring, then practiced graphing parabolas using turning point form.

In Year 10, Liam reviewed motion concepts such as velocity and displacement through problem-solving exercises, and tackled chemistry mole calculations to strengthen quantitative analysis skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 exam preparation, one student's revision focused mainly on familiar question types, avoiding harder Units 1 and 2 calculation problems. "She got these wrong on the exam, so this will be our next focus."

In a Year 8 algebra session, work was often messy and steps were skipped—making it hard to spot where mistakes happened.

A primary student hesitated to show working in fraction problems out of fear of being wrong; as a tutor noted, "he needs more confidence to go with his gut instinct."

These patterns led to repeated errors and slowed progress in mastering new material.

Recent Achievements

One Richmond tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through questions now takes time to read each one carefully, catching details she previously missed.

In a senior session, another student who had struggled with algebra last term is now confidently recognising like terms and solving equations without prompting—last week, he finished all assigned problems independently for the first time.

A younger student also surprised her tutor by starting to ask clarifying questions during lessons rather than guessing quietly; this shift meant she solved several tricky fraction problems correctly on her own.

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 Richmond Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bindjiroo Yaluk Community School-Richmond Campus.
