I believe that every subject has the potential to be made fun and exciting for any student, and so naturally the tutor should be able to be inspiring and excited to teach and learn alongside their pupil. Alongside this, tutors need to be adaptable, being willing to communicate to different students based on their levels and understanding, while…

The most important thing for a tutor is to become someone that a student can come to for help at anytime. From my own experience, when I first started getting tutored, the biggest problem I had was being too afraid to ask questions. I feared that if I asked questions, the tutors would dislike me. I later learned that should never be the case. If a…

I believe that it's crucial for a tutor to create an open and supportive relationship with their student.

One important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure communicating in a manner that motivates the student and makes them feel confident in the content they are learning.

Inside South WharfTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Gracie worked on reading digital and analog clocks, as well as practicing addition and subtraction with numbers in the hundreds.

Year 11 student Elias focused on detailed revision of the nervous system in psychology and tackled a mock exam by reworking challenging questions to solidify his understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ella addressed statistics and finance concepts, including analyzing real data sets and interpreting financial information relevant to her course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student working through applications of logarithms and integration showed signs of test anxiety; as one tutor noted, "if he stuck on or passed a few questions, it may influence the rest of his test," leading to skipped questions under time pressure.

In Year 9 probability, there was difficulty in identifying correct numerators and denominators when reading stem-and-leaf plots—slowing progress during revision.

A Year 4 student was noticeably distracted towards the end of class by anticipation of online gaming, which led to lost focus on multiplication practice.

These process challenges often left unfinished tasks or interrupted deeper understanding.

Recent Achievements

One South Wharf tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip tough calculus questions now attempts them independently, showing new persistence with challenging material.

Another high schooler who struggled with reading data accurately on stem-and-leaf plots began pausing to check her work and openly discussed areas she found confusing—this honesty helped target her learning and improved her probability skills in just one session.

In primary, Gracie, who would lose focus midway through lessons, responded well when the tutor introduced short movement breaks; after these, she re-engaged quickly and completed all her fraction drawings without hesitation.

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 Southbank Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South Melbourne Primary School.
