I would say understanding student's problem is the most important to help a student. Student's problem can be in the subject matter itself, or way the subject is delivered. Some may prefer more theory in the beginning, and some may prefer tutorial way of learning. So, tutoring should be tailor-made to a student for best learning experience. As a…

The biggest things a student can have their tutor do are to make the student feel assured, adapt their learning style to the student's, and demystify hard concepts. A student was struggling with algebra and felt discouraged. My goal was to help him understand the concepts and build their confidence. So, I broke down the problems into simple…

I think it's important to see things from the student’s point of view. Since I'm also a student, I understand how it feels when something doesn’t make sense straight away. Instead of just pointing out mistakes, a tutor should understand where the confusion started and help the student learn the concept properly. Encouragement also makes a…

I think what I would expect from tutor is to have no boundaries to knowledge. If a student goes about asking unusual doubts, the tutor should not stop the person from doing so, as this would not help the student get a clearer picture about the subject that they are studying. The student should feel like they could ask anything from the tutor about…

The most important thing a tutor can do is create a supportive, low-pressure environment where students feel completely comfortable making mistakes and asking questions.

Empathy, a tutor have to know the reason why and which area the student is struggling in rather than just teaching by following the steps and scope.

Inside WaterwaysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ethan practised writing numbers in expanded form and solved digit combination challenge questions that required using each digit only once.

For Year 10, Sarah worked on solving quadratic equations by factorisation and was introduced to the discriminant, applying these concepts directly to her schoolwork.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James focused on finding equations of lines given a gradient and a point, then continued assigned work on linear relations using his Easter homework sheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student frequently avoided writing out algebra steps, preferring to do calculations mentally—this made it hard to catch sign errors and led to confusion when checking answers ("he had the habit of trying to do all the steps in his head before answering").

In a Year 11 Physics session, equations from electromagnetism were only vaguely recalled unless prompted, as no organized summary or reference list was maintained.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student with creative story ideas found transferring thoughts onto paper challenging; great verbal detail vanished when faced with the blank page. Each instance meant time spent retracing rather than progressing.

Recent Achievements

One Waterways tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help now confidently requesting clarification on using the calculator's shift function for inverse trigonometry—he then completed angle problems independently.

In Year 8, a student who used to guess at comprehension answers began searching for "hints" within texts and solved worded maths questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger learner in Year 4, once distracted during spelling activities, managed to write each target word three times as directed and sorted them into categories with much more focus than before.

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