I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for the student are - to give the student confidence in the subject (in this case mathematics) - to make the learning process motivating and enjoyable - to develop reasoning and critical thinking - to make the student see the applicability of the learning. I am familiar with a variety of…

One of the most crucial things a tutor can do for a student is communicate with them so they comprehend the material. I see a lot of teachers that know a great deal about a subject but don't know how to express it effectively enough for everyone to understand. As a tutor, I feel that the most essential thing is to ensure that the students…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for their student is remaining patient and continue to persevere with the content. In my experience, if I didn't understand a concept or was struggling with a question, it was extremely helpful when my tutor continued to talk me through the topic and didn't get frustrated at me for not…

As a tutor, I believe it is critical for providing a space for students to not be afraid to be wrong and foster engagement. A tutor must allow students to think for themselves and provide prompts which enable more critical and deeper thinking. A tutor must be able to understand the different needs for each student and be able to provide the…

Tutors serve a distinct role from teachers and parents, putting them in a unique position to assist learners. Personal relationships are crucial to student achievement; the more attached a student feels to his or her tutor, the more trust and respect the tutor instils in the student, both of which are necessary ingredients for effective learning.…

The most important things a tutor can do is to tailor their lessons to suit their individual students as every student learns differently and has different learning needs. It is also important that the tutor has knowledge on the curriculum that the student is being taught at school so they can align what they teach what the student is learning at…

Firstly, tutoring helps the tutor to reinforce their own skills and exposes us to adapt to different learning techniques. Also, it helps fostering to a child's need and supports him/her to emerge out in the right direction. It simple makes a positive difference in the society at large and is indeed rewarding to see a child reach his/her goal…

Encouraging and patient when explaining concepts to students.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to guide and assist them to complete assignments and homework rather than completing it for them. This will not only allow them to ask questions and gain a basic understanding of how to do a task, but it will also allow them to successfully complete a similar task without needing…

Most importantly, a tutor can lead a student to realise what they are capable of. This kind of core belief change leads a student to have the self-confidence to reach their full potential, including their best learning. I am patient, understanding and compassionate. Even if a young person's lack of self-confidence results in negative behaviour, I…

The most important things a tutor can offer is ongoing support, record of the student’s growth and achievements, providing help outside of what the student already is aware of, treating them as an individual who is already capable and just needs a little help in unlocking their abilities and lastly help students set and meet their long term and…

Being able to help a student achieve future problems on their own by helping them understand how to do a problem rather than just providing the solution is one of the most important things I consider a tutor can do for a student.

As I outlined earlier, a teacher's or a tutor's sole responsibility is not to teach academia, it is to serve as a role model and to help their students grow as people.

I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills.

Inside Sampson FlatTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Dominic worked on understanding integers and numeric expressions, then practiced addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions—including converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

Year 10 student Abigail focused on factoring quadratic expressions in various formats to clarify confusion, and also explored early statistics concepts such as measures of central tendency for a school investigation.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Laura reviewed differentiation rules for derivatives and discussed antiderivatives as part of introductory calculus preparation.

Recent Challenges

No significant process or learning habit issues were observed across the range of year levels and subjects in recent lesson notes.

For example, a Year 12 student maintained consistent motivation while clarifying new mathematics concepts, with a tutor remarking, "he is putting much effort into understanding, clarifying and applying concepts."

In lower secondary, one student's careful questioning around fractions led to visible improvement and growing confidence.

Even when misunderstandings arose in graphing tasks for middle years, students engaged actively to resolve them during sessions.

No concerns regarding organization, written work presentation, homework completion, or reliance on aids appeared in these lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Sampson Flat tutor noticed Abigail, a senior student, has started recognising and applying probability rules independently—where she once needed hints, she now spots patterns on her own.

In Year 10 maths, Dominic is showing a shift from quiet participation to actively requesting extra practice problems during sessions and even asks for new challenges at the end of lessons.

Meanwhile, Laura in Year 6 used to hesitate when concepts were unclear but recently began voicing specific questions about statistics so they could be worked through together; last week she asked for clarification until she felt sure enough to tackle the next exercise solo.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like One Tree Hill Primary School.
