Understand what works for them and how they learn, then adapt the work to be specific to them. Keep the work engaging and ask the student what they want to learn or what their goals are.

That is easy. The most important thing is to inspire them and engage their curiosity. To be more interesting than a teacher trying to teach a class, and to show the student /s that learning is beneficial, fun, and not-dreary schoolwork. Gamification can be used here, and exposing the student to new texts above the level they are used to, so as to…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is instill a sense of passion for the subject they're learning. I think its very important that a student changes their prespective from "this is quite hard" to "wow i really enjoy learning this". in this way, helping them enjoy and actually like learning the material allows the student to…

A tutor should be able to provide necessary learning resources for students, feedback and encouragement. A tutor should also be understanding of each student’s skill level and create a stress-free, yet informative learning session that actually tailors to the specific student’s need. Every student should feel that they have the potential to…

It is important that a tutor makes the student feel that they are in a comfortable environment, so that the student feels willing and ready to learn. The tutor must ensure that the student does not feel ashamed or embarrassed about the areas of their learning that they may be struggling with. Instead, the tutor should encourage the student to…

Show patience and be able to explain things in alternative ways. When a student is struggling to understand something, they can feel pressured or get frustrated or can feel depleted in the fact that they cannot understand a concept. So in my opinion, it is crucial to show patience and try to have the student understand by slowly going through…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is influence a child's attitude towards learning. A lot of kids are very demoralised with regard to the idea of learning itself, let alone individual components of a subject. Often times you hear "I can't do this", when really we should be teaching kids to say "I can't do this YET". That simple…

For me one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is simply to genuinely believe a student can do well. They need to be able to demonstrate that they care how the student progresses and believes that they are capable of achieving their goals. Most students will believe more in themselves if they know that others do too. I…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to really help them get the best out of themselves.

I think my…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand that all students are different.

From my years of soccer coaching experience, where I worked to improve the skills of a dozen different players of different levels, I learned that every student learns best in their own way and that is why tutoring is so important. In the classroom, everyone receives the same treatment and it is bound to be ineffective for many people. Thus, the…

Inside YallambieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Olivia focused on algebraic techniques using Chapter 4 of the Edrolo textbook and also worked through transposing between mixed and improper fractions.

Year 8 student Sam practised for an upcoming test on probability and statistical analysis, including real-world examples to consolidate understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Zoe concentrated on Cartesian coordinates from Chapter 9 of the Edrolo textbook and explored applications by plotting points on coordinate grids.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's incomplete homework is making it difficult to build on core algebra skills—"he will not progress any further in Mathematics unless he tends to his homework."

In Year 7, poor attention span led to missed steps when handling decimals and multiplication tables, with focus drifting mid-question.

For a senior student, as noted, "the complete disregard for time and lack of participation severely hampered the potential learning outcomes" during geometry revision.

Messy handwriting and reluctance to read or write have also slowed comprehension in upper primary lessons; requests for neater work are frequent before clarity improves.

Recent Achievements

One Yallambie tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially struggling with fraction addition, pushed through and now solves algebraic equations using fractions—something he found intimidating at first.

In a recent session, two brothers in Year 8 went from distracted to enthusiastically competing against each other to answer percentage questions, showing new drive and focus compared to earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to hesitate on three-digit addition now completes these sums without error, finishing an entire set of problems correctly by himself.

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