From my experience, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to create a safe learning environment by providing clear explanation and tailored guidance based on the academic needs which can help the student build the confidence in not only conquering their present challenges but also how to approach these challenges on their own.…

The most important thing I believe a tutor can do for the students is to understand and listen to them and their needs. When a tutor listens and spends time building a relationship with his/her student, it allows the tutor to personalise the learning for the student by incorporating connections to the student's interests. In addition, it allows…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe, encouraging space where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. It’s not just about helping them understand the content, it’s also about building their self-belief and showing them that they "can" succeed. A good tutor should also adapt their…

I believe the most important thing here would be to ensure the student understands what is being taught and is able to move forward in their learning.

I believe that a tutor should be able to build relationships with a student where the students are provided with an environment where they are heard and observed. I think this allows tutors to strategize methods in helping students progress, learn and succeed. This must be done with patience, constant assessment of student's progress, and…

According to me, the most important thing as a tutor is to try and try until the student understands, although it takes a lot of patience and time. It is also important to explore the student's best way of learning, which may include audio, visual, or kinesthetic, and make efforts to teach them accordingly. As a tutor, I first make my students…

I think a tutor should be able to tell if their student understands something or not, often they don't say it outright and asking them directly might not get them to admit it. So by asking them to solve a question that indirectly uses the concept might help us figure out if they're having trouble or not. Students should also feel comfortable with…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to put in time. They need to act as if it's not just a job which pays. Prepping lessons early, helping with questions outside of tutoring time, marking tests.

The most important thing a tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive to a…

A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

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.
