A tutor should understand a student's struggle and achievements, and be able to bring out the fun in studying to help them in their academic struggles. I encourage and motivate students to excel and set a foundation for future studies, as well as providing an entertaining and educational environment suitable for each student. As a current student…

I strongly feel as if education is the most important tool for any person, especially in today's world. Therefore to be able to pass on that knowledge is phenomenal. I believe that if one child is educated enough, to have a comfortable life, then the following generation is also automatically able to have a comfortable and sustainable life. A…

Being there for a student is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Whilst tutors are there to help guide a student's learning progress, they should also present themselves as a supportive friend. The relationship between a student and tutor is important and aspects like giving general advice, and helping students during…

A tutor should be extremely caring when it comes to their students. Often, especially kids, are afraid to ask tutors questions at the risk of "sounding dumb". I believe it is the tutor's foremost responsibility to assure the students that learning is for everyone, and they are not alone when facing that doubt. Perseverance, organisation, patience,…

I think the most important thing a tutor should do is understand the learning pattern and style of the student. Every student learns differently, simply using one method is not enough. As I try to see, I try to understand how different students learn and understand different content. Through the process, i try to find what is the most optimal way…

The most important thing a tutor can do is approach teaching in a holistic way so a student can develop necessary skills - like interpersonal skills, to strive not only during high school, but once they graduate. A tutor should be helping their student to excel in their studies in a way that is supplementary to what is taught in school. Lastly, a…

As mentioned, creating an alternate method for rote learning is to let the concept sink in through simple derivations and i have used it in my past so i'd love to pass it on to my students.

I believe that there is no easy way in tutoring, the same as there is no easy way to get the answer. Whenever they are stuck it is our job to guide them through and companying them along.

I think the most important thing for a tutor is to understand the type of support needed.

This also may change for different topics with the same student; it's about trying…

Inside ScoresbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Esther worked on reading aloud from the Fitzroy Reader series, focusing on pronunciation and understanding of new vocabulary like "light" and "melody" using fill-in-the-blank exercises.

In Year 10, Jake tackled operations with matrices, including advanced problems involving communication and dominance matrices to deepen his understanding for SAC preparation.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia focused on VCE Maths Methods exam revision by practising extended response questions in probability, as well as reviewing multistage experiments and conditional probability scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 2 English, a student avoided reading aloud when longer words appeared; "she jumped to the first and last letter of 'mandarin' instead of sounding out each part." This made it hard to build confidence with unfamiliar texts.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's maths progress was slowed by incomplete homework on polynomial functions—assigned tasks weren't brought in for feedback, so misconceptions lingered.

In VCE Maths Methods, another student repeatedly left school assignment problems unfinished, meaning key skills (like exam-style extended responses) remained shaky before tests.

Each instance led to lost chances for targeted support or skill consolidation at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Scoresby recently noticed a big change in Joanne (Year 7): after struggling to keep track of her maths notes, she's now organising them independently and finishing most homework tasks correctly.

In Year 11 maths, Ashley went from hesitating to ask for help with functions to clarifying every doubt out loud during sessions, then tackling even the tougher problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to skip over hard words is now stopping mid-sentence to self-correct pronunciation—she read an entire book this week and handled tricky two-syllable nouns 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 Rowville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scoresby Primary School.
