I think teaching students how to be independent is something tutors must do. Prioritizing things like active learning wherein students get to question things themselves, rather than being spoon-fed answers is important. Making them learn that they can find the answers themselves if they put in the effort is important. And obviously creating all…

A tutor must be able to secure a positive impression of the subject in the student's mind, regardless of how arduous the subject content might be. A tutor is a third parent and must have immense patience to ensure that the child grasps each and every detail, even if they ask us to repeat what we taught. Besides, as tutors, we must always advocate…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is truly be their well-wisher. I think students are coming to tutors because they know they need help. Acknowledging that they took that step, understanding the knowledge base with which they're there, teaching them in easy terms, and creating a long term plan for their studies is the…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to celebrate their successes, big or small. It can be difficult for some students to maintain a love for learning, or even just develop a motivation to study more, so I believe that a tutor is a pillar of support for the student throughout their learning. A tutor can give that…

In general, I believe that the best way to teach Maths/Science is in a way which the student understands the concepts rather than just giving the student a method to produce an answer, which is how these subjects are commonly taught. 1.

I think a tutor is a map for the pathway of the student's success. The tutor will do all within their limit to make sure they have given enough importance to the student to excel. This includes the peripheral knowledge that a student should have surrounding the content/topic - which means what is the purpose of learning/ how is it going to help…

Studying techniques, creating good habits and of course, feedback for improvements! These are the important aspects that a tutor should show their students.

For me, I personally consider the ability of independent thinking is what a tutor really needs to teach his students across all the subjects, it is not only about memorizing the standardized formulas of problem-solving but also understanding the hidden logic of the methods.

I believe it is important to understand the student's weaknesses and strengths before starting to teach them. I have come across a common problem with students, which is that they often jump straight into trying to solve a problem without fully understanding the theory/basics first. Hence, I try to first help them understand the basics then go…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student’s confidence, make learning less stressful, and explain things in a way that actually makes sense to them.

I believe that a tutor should plan individually for each student to cater for their needs.

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.
