The most important things as far as I'm considered, are to be readily approachable, and constantly supportive during the entire teaching process. In addition, having a good relationship with the students, being considerate about their holistic health, so that students can come to me for suggestions, not only academically, but also anything my past…

I believe that a tutor should plan individually for each student to cater for their needs. Each student has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it should be the tutor's role to discover these and change their teaching approaches accordingly. A good tutor should be able to encourage the students to overcome setbacks and achieve their best…

- Allow students to understand concepts and encourage curiosity I think as students we often feel that we are forced to learn things and sometimes it feels like labour which make people fear certain concepts. However, I think that as a tutor it is most important to remove that fear because knoweldge is not to be feared but to be known. -…

I think if a tutor truly understands how each student learns best whether through visual aids, discussion, or practice they can adapt their approach to make learning more engaging and effective.

Changing the perspective of the subject. I know too many teachers that have made an already challenging subject even more difficult.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is guide them towards the answer, in a way that allows the student to fully understand a concept rather than just solve a specific question. The ultimate goal would be for the students to develop the confidence, ability and skills to solve problems on their own. So actually, the…

To be honest, an excellent tutor needs to be able to assist students in meeting deadlines. Delivering instruction that gives students the tools they need to be more independent in their studies is as vital, though. I would suggest to my pupils working on abilities in time management, critical thinking, and evaluation. I think that one of my skills…

I think teaching students how to be independent is something tutors must do. Prioritizing things like active learning wherein students get to question things themselves, rather than being spoon-fed answers is important. Making them learn that they can find the answers themselves if they put in the effort is important. And obviously creating all…

It's essential to be understanding and listen to students as not all the students are the same or behave the same in a class.

I believe understanding this point can help every child to…

Local Reviews

The staff are very friendly, and communication is great. It only took a few days to get a chemistry tutor for our daughter, and the first lesson was excellent.
Peta Collins, Yarraville

Inside YarravilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Layla worked on graphing and finding equations of circles, practicing with real examples; Year 10 student Michael focused on solving simultaneous equations using the elimination method and also learned to graph linear equations.

While in Year 11, Sophia revised how to complete the square for quadratics and polished her skills with discriminants and solving inequalities, including practice with quadratic turning points.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student left homework unfinished last week, which meant key concepts in "completing the square" didn't get enough reinforcement before moving on.

In Year 9, a tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—the written work lacked structure and made mistakes harder to spot.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling quadratic equations relied heavily on mental calculations rather than writing out each stage; this slowed progress when more complex problems appeared.

One Year 10 lesson saw time lost as the student hunted for forgotten materials instead of practicing worded questions. Each scenario cost valuable practice or clarity at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

One Yarraville tutor noticed Isla independently spotted her own errors in SOH CAH TOA problems—a shift from earlier sessions when she waited for hints before correcting mistakes.

In a senior session, Samuel took initiative with his study routine by creating detailed to-do lists and reflecting on what worked after each study block, rather than relying solely on the tutor's prompts as he had before.

Meanwhile, Tata (Year 6) tackled tricky literacy tasks by rewriting definitions and practicing spelling until she could read them out confidently—an improvement from her initial reluctance to read aloud.

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 Yarraville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Augustine's School.
