In my opinion, a tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them. Its important to be constructive and patient especially with the ones that take time to grasp topics. One must keep instructions clear and always strive to empower the child by focusing on their strengths. Engage them instead of lecturing…

The 3 most important things a tutor can do for a student are: encourage a love of learning; understand the student's perspective when teaching; be capable to change the explanation in order to allow the student to understand the content. It's difficult for students to learn sometimes and I acknowledge that. It is my job as a tutor to encourage…

Inside St GeorgesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Divyanshu focused on Stage 2 Chemistry topics such as **stoichiometry**, unit conversions, and chromatography (including Rf values and retention time), while in Mathematical Methods worked through differentiation techniques like chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and applications to ln(x) and e^x using examples.

Year 11 Lucy revised **index laws**, worked with fractional indices including negative powers converted to surds, and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions with BEDMAS.

For Year 6 maths, Maja revisited linear relations from the basics—covering **gradient calculation** (rise over run), forms of y = mx + c, and graphing functions after missing two weeks of content.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student repeatedly struggled to draw accurate organic structures, such as esters and carbohydrates—"he attached the oxygen to the wrong carbon," one tutor noted—making it difficult to score full marks in written responses.

Meanwhile, in senior Maths, another student often forgot to substitute values back into original equations when finding stationary points, leading to incomplete solutions.

For a Year 7 learner, inconsistent recall of index laws slowed progress with fraction problems and left her uncertain during mixed operations.

When these gaps occurred under time pressure or test conditions, small errors compounded and confidence faltered mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One St Georges tutor noticed Zac, a Year 9 student, move from struggling to write much at all to independently completing a full-length essay within a week—something he hadn't managed before.

In recent high school maths sessions, Divyanshu has begun correcting his own algebraic mistakes without prompting and now solves first principle problems solo, showing a new level of self-reliance compared to earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, Lucy in primary years has shifted from hesitating with fractions to confidently adding and subtracting them with minimal guidance; last session she even factored simple equations accurately 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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seymour College.
