Tutor Glen Iris, VIC
I believe having a tutor who presents work in a manageable and stepwise manner is key. many students are embarrassed to admit when they don't understand concepts they may think are simple, or are intimidated by the seeming difficulty of some of the work. Presenting the problems as manageable and breaking them down helps the student gain your trust…

Tutor St Kilda East, VIC
There are two main things that a tutor should aim to provide for a student: 1. Confidence/Self esteem - Students can't learn if they feel bad about themselves or their ability to learn (learn maths specifically in this case) Any teacher of a student, needs to praise a students effort as being inherently valuable as well as praising any…

Every student has a different learning style; I can say this from experience as i was always until recently been labelled as not terribly gifted logically. This was until i found a tutor that was patient enough to guide me in my pursuit of knowledge, from a perspective that i understood. I believe that this is the most important action a tutor…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student starts by being present and engaging in their learning. Students are more able to build their confidence when a tutor shows they're dedicated to helping them develop in all areas of their learning. A great tutor creates a safe space for students where they can ask questions without…

A teacher/tutor is someone who can teach. But a good teacher/tutor is someone who can inspire students. I strongly believe that I can inspire others through my own passion and love with Maths.

One of the most important things I can do for a student is to understand their current level of knowledge and identify any gaps in their understanding. Every student learns at a different pace and may struggle with different aspects of a subject, so it is important to first determine where they are academically before planning how best to support…

Tutor Seddon, VIC
I don't believe studying should be a chore. I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is enable them to see the beauty and fun of any subject rather than letting them focus on the anxiety or stress that comes with its difficulty. If a tutor can allow a student to not only do well in their subject, but also enjoy it, that to…

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.
