I believe the most important part of tutoring is establishing a basis for further understanding rather than promoting memory based learning. Instead, I believe a good tutor should seek to develop a students intuition, allowing for a more rounded and stress-free learning experience. I believe I have good patience and a sense of empathy to help me…

It is paramount to develop an equitable learner/teacher coalition in which a sense of discovery is at the fore. Results and grades are important but the journey must be enjoyable and maintain a sense of real life application. Developing a personal relationship is very important otherwise there is no need for the student to use a real person as a…

The most important thing a tutor can do is listen to the student and try to understand what it is they actually need to learn. Sometimes a tutor is teaching something but they are not actually listening to what the student is asking, which is false. It is also important to personalise how a tutor teaches to how a student learns. Although this is…

The requisite ability of a tutor is to teach, but the far more difficult and far more important task is to give context on what a student is learning. In other words, to explain why you would want to study, what you can do with a good ATAR and to show them the potential that is so easy to overlook whilst you're in school. It becomes so…

Developing a relationship with students. From experience, if there is no relationship with a student, the less likely they are going to want to learn and engage in my tutoring sessions.

A tutor should listen to their students and figure out what exactly it is they are struggling with.

It is tempting to expect teachers to just give an answer, however, there is a lot of value in knowing how to tackle a…

I think the most important thing to do as a tutor is to amend the teaching style for different students. Motivation was one of the things that I and many of my peers struggled with, and so, the last thing I want is for my student to not be engaged in the content. One way to do this to include connections to the student's interests. In addition,…

Just wanted to let you know that we had our first lesson with Dillon last Wednesday and first impressions of him are fabulous. What a lovely guy, very confident and friendly with a lovely approach and a great, firm handshake! She enjoyed meeting Dillon so on wards and upwards from here.

Inside BaxterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Vai worked through an Essential Assessment from school, carefully reviewing why certain maths answers were incorrect.

In Year 9, Jesse tackled probability questions focusing on set notation and completed chapter exercises from 8A while also learning strategies for organising homework and notes effectively.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia revised the rectangular hyperbola and truncus, breaking down graphing steps and discussing how to approach worded quadratic problems in detail.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, a student was "still quite far behind in the questions," needing external motivation to catch up and build trust in their own answers.

A Year 10 learner repeatedly tried to solve equations mentally instead of writing out steps, which led to confusion and falling further behind—especially when tackling algebra.

For VCE (Year 12) Maths Methods, another student's over-reliance on formulas without grasping core concepts left them stuck during worded problems; as one tutor noted, "He instinctively looks for a formula rather than understanding what is happening." In these moments, confidence wavered and progress slowed.

Recent Achievements

One Baxter tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student's independence—she started speaking her thought process out loud during algebra questions, which helped her solve them much faster than before when she'd stay quiet and get stuck.

In another session, a senior student who used to need frequent hints with calculus problems began connecting the right concepts to tricky worded questions on his own and required much less prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student made a breakthrough by finally grasping how to share objects equally for division after struggling with the idea last term, even finishing all ten practice problems without help.

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