English Tutor West Melbourne, VIC
For the less motivated students, a tutor can help them gain interest in the subject, which I think is the most important thing for a learner. For most of the students, a tutor should be a guide to lead them to pick up knowledge points bit by bit and finally have a general clear map of them. I am quite good at being with people, no matter what…

I believe that a tutor should be friendly with the student so that the student can freely discuss the problems with his/her tutor. The tutor can use interesting techniques to describe the concepts which will increase the concentration of the student and also his/her eagerness to learn. Again asking the student questions about the topic can help…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to assist them to find their method of learning and to foster their ability of independent and critical thinking. As I believe every kids learn best at their own method, I prioritise my student's preference and feedback on which way of learning they understands best. Moreover, I…

One of the most vital things a tutor should do is ensure that he is understood teaching-wise and that he understands his pupils perfectly. One thing that some teachers don't have is empathy for the unique condition of a student. A student's ability to learn can be affected in various ways, like by his surroundings and so on. It is significantly…

It is most important to provide a comfortable space for students to make errors and learn, while also providing the motivation and space for studying to be completed.

Firstly, a tutor has to be able to understand the student's needs and then personalise a learning plan/ style that works for the student - one size does not fit all! Secondly, the tutor needs to guide the student not get them to parrot generic question answers. It's about building the students confidence up, through positive encouragement, and…

The most important thing apart from helping the student understand that they can solve things on their own, is teaching the student how to study the subject. This way, the student will gradually understand how learning the subject works. I have a lot of patience and I am very good at using logistics. I can explain the same thing in many different…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to wear students' shoes, which means to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. Once we recognise how each student learns best, we can adapt our explanations and materials to support them more effectively. I used to struggle with some of these subjects myself, which helps me…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel comfortable and inculcate a 'can do' attitude. Make sure that they understand that if they put their mind to it, anything is possible and go along with them on that journey. I'm a 21yr old post graduate student. This puts me in roughly the same generation as the students. I…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is getting to know and understand each specific student in depth.

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

Inside South KingsvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ayaan worked through linear graphs by finding equations and intercepts, as well as applying Pythagoras' theorem to calculate triangle sides.

In Year 10, Lily focused on quadratic techniques such as completing the square and practiced with past exam questions to solidify her understanding.

For Year 11, Marcus tackled differentiation, including applications to maximum and minimum problems, and reviewed how to solve cubic equations using the factor theorem.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, particularly in algebra practice; as one tutor noted, "she needs to finish practice sample test questions."

In Year 11 Maths Methods, revision often focused on easier problems, with skipped harder textbook exercises—this limited readiness for exam-style questions.

A Year 7 learner avoided attempting unfamiliar trigonometry tasks, preferring to revisit solved examples instead of tackling new ones.

When a senior student forgot to bring previous test papers for review, valuable feedback opportunities were lost. This led to last-minute cramming rather than steady progress and undermined confidence before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Kingsville recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions now pausing the lesson to explain where she got stuck on last week's homework, then tackling logarithm problems more independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student who previously struggled with graphing trig functions worked through practice tests and confidently approached tougher tangent graphs without prompting.

In Year 4, one student who was hesitant to participate at first is now actively answering questions during lessons and learning from mistakes, showing a new willingness to engage each session.

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 Yarraville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Margaret Mary's School.
