I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is pose as their mentor than just a teacher. By doing this, a student will feel safe, and empowered; this in turn will make them learn better. Moreover, it is important for a tutor to build their confidence. It is essential to build on the weak areas of a student. Additionally, a…

I consider that a tutor should be a good teacher but also a good person. He should be able to communicate and transmit his passion to give the desire to learn.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to open a rapport that makes them feel safe and understood, an environment where they are not afraid to try and even not afraid to fail, in the knowledge that with help and direction they can try again and do better. With the acceptance that 1 style (or even 10 styles!) of teaching…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

Local Reviews

Michelle, Tusmore

Inside TusmoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Armando reviewed bivariate statistics, focusing on exponential regression and interpreting normal distributions using calculator-based practice.

For Year 11, Lucy worked through linear programming problems including constructing feasible regions and applying the simplex algorithm to assignment scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mark focused on exam revision by tackling a range of financial mathematics questions, such as superannuation calculations and comparing loan options.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often wrote out solutions in their head instead of on paper, making it hard to spot calculation slips—showing all steps would help catch small errors before they add up.

In Year 10, messy working and unclear labels when copying matrices led to confusion during revision, especially under time pressure.

A senior student preparing for exams relied heavily on a calculator for financial maths but occasionally entered the wrong sign, affecting accuracy with compound interest questions.

After setbacks in algebra tests, one Year 9 learner became hesitant to attempt harder problems without reassurance, slowing progress.

Recent Achievements

One Tusmore tutor recently saw a Year 11 student move from hesitating to ask for help with algebraic concepts to confidently identifying gaps and requesting clarification on her own, especially around fractions—something she used to avoid.

Another high school student who had previously struggled with test revision now organises his own practice sessions and shared two recent B+ results, having also pinpointed areas for further improvement without prompting.

In a primary session, Addison tackled challenging worksheet problems independently, attempting even unfamiliar questions before seeking assistance when stuck.

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