Considering, my experience gained at primary and secondary school; and the first term at university- a tutor must have the ability to listen patiently and attentively to students. They must know that the power barrier between them and the student must be leveraged accordingly when the situation arises to either work as an examiner of the student…

The most important thing that I, as a tutor, can do for a student is support. To support them through whatever it is they do. To know that you have someone who is waiting to consolidate what they learned at school and help them in their understanding. Someone who reminds them that they can do anything they put their minds to and to remind…

Personally, i believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to work with them according to EACH specific student. From personal experience, I know that not every child absorbs information or learns the same way, some may take longer, or perhaps require a different method. I think it is vital for tutors to recognise this and…

Two things: One: Listening and observing. Sometimes in tutoring you focus so much on the schoolwork and learning and bypass the learning experience. Being keen and observing the student\'s behaviour, mode of communication, body language etc, you can meet them at their level and once they feel understood, not looked down on and safe, then they are…

I think the most important thing is to instil them with confidence, as I have found that this is one of the biggest problems that slow down the understanding of something.

Help them to break down a problem and follow a methodical set of steps. A lot of science and mathematics subjects require a lot of practice and exposure to problems and questions.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is talk to them. A tutor should directly ask the student what they are struggling with in class and what they need assistance with.

Inside WoodstockTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam worked on calculating area and volume for composite shapes, along with practising fraction operations using visual models.

Year 9 student Mia tackled quadratic factorisation—including difference of perfect squares—and moved on to graphing parabolas by identifying turning points and axes of symmetry.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex reviewed key concepts in Newton's laws of motion and completed practice problems involving two-dimensional dynamics as preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

Homework was often left incomplete, especially for algebra and fractions, which limited chances to reinforce new skills—"needs to do more homework to practice and re-enforce learned skills."

In Year 10, messy working in trigonometry meant sign errors were hard to spot; as noted, "writing out each step rather than solving in his head" would have made mistakes easier to find.

For a senior student tackling mechanics, late replies and rushing last-minute homework before deadlines resulted in missed opportunities for deeper understanding and test preparation.

One session ended with the frustration of forgotten basic math principles clouding progress on problem-solving tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Woodstock tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student's approach to factorisation—she started the lesson needing step-by-step support, but by the end, she was breaking down complex questions into smaller parts and working through them independently.

In another session, a high schooler who used to avoid practice tests actually completed one on her own before tutoring began and then engaged much more during revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who had previously hesitated with multiplication facts showed new initiative by tackling trickier times tables without prompting and even asked for extra challenge problems.

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