I believe the most important things a tutor can do for their students are build confidence, adapt to individual learning styles, and provide clear guidance. A tutor should create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, as this is essential for learning. They should also identify gaps in…

Often times students feel ashamed to ask questions or seek out help. Therefore, creating a space for the student's emotions allows them to approach me with any question or issue that they have without fear or embarrassment is a priority for me. This opens doors to learning new things and even accelerates the education and teaching process. My…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence and foster a positive attitude towards learning. By creating a supportive and encouraging environment, tutors can help students overcome their fears and self-doubt, which is often the biggest barrier to their success. This involves not only teaching the…

The most important thing to me is that the student feels comfortable with my teaching style and that they are motivated to learn, not feeling that the subject is too hard or too dry, but instead I prioritise adding personal interest of the students and relate it to the topic which helps to grasp better understanding towards it. My strengths are…

I believe it’s important to empathise with students rather then being sympathetic. Sympathy comes with one feeling a sense of emotion for sometime. Whereas, when in comes to tutoring, we need to empathise with students as it’ll allow us to position ourselves in their circumstances. Therefore, will give as a vision of a reality closer to what a…

As a tutor, I think it's important to be there for them. Learning loads of new concepts almost every second day can be overwhelming and with that, all students have their strengths and weaknesses. Thus as a tutor it would be a good measure to know their strengths and weaknesses and work with them through their weaknesses and add them to the list…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to wear students' shoes, which means to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. Once we recognise how each student learns best, we can adapt our explanations and materials to support them more effectively. I used to struggle with some of these subjects myself, which helps me…

Empathy: Understand how the student is feeling or understood a particular concept based on their behavioural and body language cues. This is because most students do not give explicit feedback. Understanding the student's learning pace: Every student is unique and have their own pace of learning. As a tutor you need to adapt to that. I am…

Firstly, a tutor has to be able to understand the student's needs and then personalise a learning plan/ style that works for the student - one size does not fit all! Secondly, the tutor needs to guide the student not get them to parrot generic question answers. It's about building the students confidence up, through positive encouragement, and…

The most important thing would be to push them to be passionate and to be interested in what they are doing, and to help them want to improve at what they're learning.

I believe taking the time with each individual student and connecting with them on a personal level is the most important thing as each student is going through different experiences and difficulties.

Hear a student out! With my past experience as well, I have learnt that understanding a concept from the student's perspective first is very important when teaching as it helps the tutor learn where the student has gone wrong exactly and correct the student as much needed without making them feel under confident or unheard. This gives them the…

Inside TottenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel practised NAPLAN numeracy skills by interpreting dot plots and tackling worded questions involving operations with fractions.

Year 8 student Chelsea focused on using the laws of indices to simplify expressions and applied her understanding of surds through practice quizzes and textbook review.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava worked on solving quadratic equations by completing the square and sketched quadratic graphs using turning point form for visual reinforcement.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often avoided writing out working in algebra and long division, saying "I can do it in my head," which led to forgotten steps and confusion when checking answers.

In Year 11, a student relied heavily on her calculator for expanding and factorising exercises, making it difficult during non-calculator tests.

Another senior student's workbook layout was inconsistent—dates missing, mixed notes and questions—which made revision stressful before exams.

A Year 5 learner sometimes left homework incomplete due to a busy week; this limited opportunities for targeted feedback on tricky topics like fractions and multiplication.

Recent Achievements

A Tottenham tutor recently noticed a big shift with one high school student, Chelsea, who used to get stuck on worded problems—she now works through them independently and even organises her solutions clearly without prompting.

In another session, Sasha, also in high school, began tackling every test question instead of skipping the ones she found confusing; she's started asking clarifying questions instead of giving up.

Meanwhile, Camilla in Year 5 managed to create her first dot plot and confidently answered related questions—a leap from needing step-by-step guidance just a few weeks ago.

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 Footscray West—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dinjerra Primary School.
