It is important to help the child understand where he/she went wrong and correct themselves rather than giving them all the answers without any understanding. I feel I embed that quality. I am patient and motivating, and will keep the pace at the child's capacity level. I am an international student, therefore I am very culturally aware- I am…

It is also important that a tutor provide individualised support and build confidence within students.

The most important thing a tutor can do is ensure that a student does not hate the subject they require tutoring in. The tutor must approach the subject on the same level as the student so that the student does not dread having a tutoring session and develops a liking towards the subject. I ensure that someone works to their full potential and if…

To make the student passionate and excited about the process of learning and completing their studies for personal growth rather than to get the work out of the way. Also a tutors job is to show students how to learn and how to think about different problems so they can implement this into personal study. I believe these two aspects are the most…

I think the most important thing is to make the subject interesting and have the interactive sessions. Student shouldn't be frightened to ask questions, the more friendly the tutor teaches the student the more easily the student can ask for any doubts. And also to provide the relevant answer to the question, and if the tutor don't know the answer…

Creating a supportive and encouraging environment right from the get go.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help a student gain the confidence and obtain the building blocks needed to not need a tutor as much in the future. Obviously, the priority is to first be able to learn what they are having trouble with initially, but the overall goal is to help them learn how to learn by…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel comfortable learning the material the school gives them and to develop good study skills.

I believe that when the right tutor is paired with the right student, they can help the student to understand the pleasure of academic subjects.

Alec is really enjoying his sessions with Matt. He finds Matt funny and easy to get along with. Alec tells me he has already started learning things he didn't know. We are very happy so far with Matt.

Inside St KildaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Matthew focused on complex numbers—proving properties using geometric arguments—and also tackled advanced trial paper questions involving polynomials and mathematical induction.

Year 11 student Amisha worked through the quantum mechanical nature of atoms, applying the Rydberg equation to electron transitions, and practised solving problems on electromagnetic induction.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Will developed essay writing skills by planning comparative responses for Tracks and Into the Wild, with particular attention to analysing language use and connecting key themes such as individualism and materialism.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student often skipped showing full working in interest and credit card problems, which made it hard to catch repeated calculation errors; as noted, "small details were missed due to the habit of skimming over the question and jumping straight to the formula."

In senior English, incomplete homework and weak communication about missing work became an issue—one week, no prior notice was given that set tasks hadn't been attempted.

Exam responses also suffered from minimal essay planning, leading to answers drifting off-topic.

In Extension Maths, forgetting previous feedback meant similar mistakes kept resurfacing during timed proof questions.

Recent Achievements

One St Kilda tutor noticed that Will, a Year 12 English student, has begun to independently spot and explain his own writing errors—something he previously struggled with—and now takes initiative to backcheck his essays before submitting.

In another recent high school session, Amisha made a breakthrough in physics by correctly solving a projectile motion problem using methods she'd found confusing just weeks ago, and her improved test score reflected the shift.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed new engagement by describing themes for class novels out loud after previously being hesitant to share ideas during lessons.

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 St Kilda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yesodei HaTorah College.
