I consider the most important thing as an english tutor is the success of my student academically through personalised lessons. I feel an obligation to ensure that my students pass or exceed in the topics they bring to the lessons and aim to empower them to create independent learners. I would say my strengths are being able to break down complex…

In my opinion, as an english tutor, it is very important to cherish the students as they progressed, acknowledging their work and encourage them to try to do with their full potential. Besides, it is important to have an understanding of their best way of learning, and encourage them to question in their learning. Furthermore, awareness of their…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is identify and act on the students gaps of knowledge. This is because information is available to the student in the form of teachers and unlimited online resources. A tutor's differentiatory use then becomes identifying a students gap of knowledge and assisting in weak areas…

Teaching the content and helping them fully grasp it, rather than doing it for them. I find that a lot of subjects have a particular rhythm to them; although some require rote learning (like particular concepts, especially within math), there are always patterns that can be identified so that students achieve their very best. For example: Stage 2…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as…

Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

Melissa is an excellent tutor who has already created a great rapporr with Poppy. She explains concepts clearly and relates them to real life experiences which provide a greater depth of understanding. We highly recommend Melissa as a tutor.

Inside St KildaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Suhana worked on partitioning numbers, basic multiplication and division, and an introduction to simple fractions using visual aids.

For Year 7, Archie revisited BIDMAS and operations with fractions after receiving his test results, focusing on improving accuracy in multi-step calculations.

In Year 8, Amelia tackled the area of composite shapes and reviewed key area formulas, reinforcing understanding through targeted practice problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student often avoided back-checking their work on composite shapes unless prompted—"she did not backcheck her work unless prompted"—leading to repeated calculation errors that could have been caught earlier.

In Year 10 science, another found it hard to approach questions on mitosis and meiosis without hints, hesitating instead of working through unfamiliar material.

Meanwhile, a primary learner struggled to stay engaged during number tracing and needed frequent redirection; incomplete focus meant basic writing practice sometimes stalled.

A Year 7 student tended to say "I don't know" quickly and rarely explained her thinking out loud, making it harder to identify where understanding broke down during fraction addition tasks.

Recent Achievements

One St Kilda tutor noted a big change in a Year 10 student who now double-checks her maths work without prompting—something she'd avoided before—and caught all her own errors while using Pythagoras' theorem.

A Year 7 boy has begun pointing out his mistakes as he works, rather than waiting for correction, and is making use of his calculator to backcheck answers—a habit he didn't have earlier in the term.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 student recently managed to fill in missing numbers from 1 to 10 within seconds, having previously struggled with number order and often mixed up digits like 16 and 61.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burton Primary School.
