Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can lead the…

I think that a tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning techiques i.e.…

I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a tutor's action, as it is the…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for the students is to motivate and encourage them to do their best. I believe that results are mostly achieved through the effort of the students themselves, so as a tutor I try my best to cover all the concepts and to provide my students with support materials, but I also make sure that my students…

The most important things a tutor can do are to foster a supportive environment, encourage curiosity, and empower students to reach their full potential. A tutor should guide students to find solutions rather than providing them directly, enabling them to build independence and critical-thinking skills. By helping students develop efficient study…

Personally, I think it is important to boost students' confidence in their abilities by providing positive reinforcement and constructive feedback. Additionally, promote analytical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than just memorisation of facts. And finally, offer emotional support and encouragement, helping students manage stress and…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to learn. -…

The best thing a tutor can do to a student is to make the subject more interesting so that the students are motivated to learn more. This in turn has a chain effect on improving the standard of the student. My strengths are the ability to identify the student's needs, flexibility, adapting to the situation and dedication.

A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten.

Inside Sheidow ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emily focused on solving linear equations and identifying perpendicular lines, practicing with both algebraic problems and worded questions.

For Year 10, Josh worked through factorising quadratic expressions using the sum and product method and revisited expanding brackets to strengthen his exam skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace tackled confidence intervals for means—choosing sample sizes and understanding how sample size affects interval width—and practiced testing statistical claims using real past exam questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, occasionally multiplies when addition is required, and vice versa—this muddled process made working steps harder to follow, especially without clear equals signs.

In a Year 10 geometry session, the student was missing their book of 'mini-theorems' and had to recall details from memory, slowing progress on proofs.

For a Year 12 probability test, emailed materials were sent home because homework was incomplete; revision focused mainly on familiar question types rather than challenging scenarios.

After setbacks in calculus (Year 11), motivation dipped noticeably—time that could have been spent clarifying errors was instead spent quietly re-reading notes.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sheidow Park noticed one Year 9 student, who previously rushed through algebra and made errors with expanding brackets, now slows down and checks each step—this shift has meant fewer mistakes and more reliable answers.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who had trouble interpreting worded geometry questions is now able to break them down logically, confidently finding equations of lines using distance formula without prompting.

In a recent session, a senior student independently used their calculator to solve binomial probability problems for the first time, after weeks of needing reminders about the process.

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 Hallett Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodend Primary School.
