Make them interested in what they are learning and make them understand why things work the way they do. I feel learning should not be about memorising rather understanding so that the logic can be used to solve a wide array of problems. I am passionate about the subjects I have highlighted above and am confident in explaining them in an…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student would be to build an understanding of the way that each student learns best in order to cater to their learning needs and help them to grapple with the concepts in a way that they can understand or relate to. My main strength would be my ability to build rapport with my student so that…

It's important for tutors to help students realize their potential and understand that as long as they work hard, they will be able to achieve all their goals. I am good at communicating, encouraging and nurturing. Being in possession of good interpersonal skills and recently graduating high-school also equips me with the advantage of being able…

Improving the confidence of the student is key. The student should evolve to have more trust in themselves and their abilities and be able to apply this. The most important thing I could do for the student is to help them achieve their own personal best and be motivated to achieve. I am a good listener. I apply this to pinpointing the key areas…

Without a doubt, I believe it is essential for a tutor to nurture and grow self-belief within their students beyond anything else. Self-belief is perhaps the most pivotal factor in deciding academic success as well as personal success, and thus I see it as an important quality for a tutor to develop . Whilst a tutor should also be avaliable,…

I do think it's very important a student never feels judged or stressed from the pressure of learning, as that can taint their experience for a long time before they are comfortable again to engage actively. It's crucial tutors are understanding of how a student is feeling and supports them as much as possible in moments of confusion and…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to find the best ways to help students learn. At the end of the day, tutors aren't there to teach students everything, but to assist them in their learning journey so that eventually, the students can feel confident enough in their knowledge to answer questions. Building confidence in young people is one…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. A tutor's job is not to just teach the student, but to bring out the best of the student and a tutor cannot do that unless they listen to the student. A good tutor is not a tutor that had achieved exceedingly well themselves, although that is a part of it- it's about their ability…

Learning is a key to understanding and appreciating the complex beauty of life - enriching the life of the individual. It is one of the key foundations a tutor can establish for their students.

Local Reviews

Jenny has been great for Will and we appreciate the report.
Sharon

Inside TremontTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel worked on simplifying fractions and solving problems involving coordinates and map scales, using practical examples to reinforce understanding.

In Year 8, Zoe practiced expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, then moved into evaluating composite functions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah focused on analysing parabolic graphs in turning point form and began basic trigonometry work through visual graphing exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, one student tended to avoid harder maths problems, choosing familiar tasks and "prioritising known topics," as a tutor noted. This meant less exposure to the challenging concepts needed for growth.

A Year 12 English student sometimes struggled with planning essays under timed conditions—she jumped quickly into writing without pausing to "think big picture" about her response, leading to rushed introductions and unclear arguments.

In Year 11, another found it difficult to apply old grammar rules when reading unfamiliar texts, often forgetting key terminology because regular revision had been missed during exam prep. Confidence fluctuated after setbacks.

Recent Achievements

A Tremont tutor noticed one high school student who used to rush through maths questions now pauses to check her working before moving on—last session, she caught and corrected two of her own errors without prompting.

Another secondary student, previously hesitant about essay writing, is now outlining arguments independently and identifying which quotes support each point after some targeted practice.

For a younger learner, flash cards have made times tables click; he now answers quickly and even volunteers to explain his reasoning aloud. Last week, he completed all multiplication questions unaided for the first time.

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 Belgrave Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ferny Creek Primary School.
