listening to students and finding out what they want out of the sessions and how they prefer to learn. By doing so we can offer a method of learning that's customized to them as an individual and not as a class. Learning occurs in many formats and a tutor should provide a format that isn't inherently applied in schools - aiding in the…

I believe, more than anything else, that a tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and trusting…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students. This way…

It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

Instead of simply teaching the concepts, a tutor should try to teach the student the logic behind the concept; he/she should try to simplify difficult concepts in a way students can grasp. Moreover, I think it's important that a tutor lets the student work on the problems first, let them brainstorm and develop their thinking skills instead of…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is listen to the student as much as teach them. If a student has any complaints, maybe approach the content differently, try to reach a compromise, or just find a better way to communicate that you want them to improve, and, most importantly, that they can. I have a good communication experience,…

Inside ThomsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication, the long division method, and explored factors and highest common factors through practical examples.

For Year 9, Amy practised solving linear equations and worked through probability questions using frequency tables and bar charts to build her statistics skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled calculus by revising chain rule differentiation and anti-differentiation, then applied integration techniques to find areas under curves with exam-style problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly forgot to bring her school books and calculator, which made it hard to check her class progress or work on current tasks; as one tutor observed, "needs to try to remember to bring her books and calculator home so I am able to see where she is up to in class."

In senior Maths Methods, a Year 11 student hesitated with multi-step calculus questions due to second-guessing—she often paused even when her working was correct.

During test conditions, a Year 10 student's stress led to avoidable mistakes despite strong content knowledge. This tension was clear when the clock started ticking.

Recent Achievements

Real initiative in preparing was shown by a Year 11 student who compiled all her notes into a summary sheet and confidently tackled new types of problems, something she'd hesitated to do before.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with anti-differentiation worked through tricky trigonometric integrals without making errors, even handling longer equations independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started paying close attention to tips on arithmetic and now tries out strategies unprompted, rather than waiting for help—last session, she solved all multiplication problems 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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tate Street Primary School Geelong.
