With my experience as a teacher, I would say being able to build strong relationships with each other as well as with parents, communicate effectively so that the student feels motivated to learn, understand the weak areas the student to then finding effective ways to strengthen those areas eg. Worksheets and also providing feedback with their in…

Making the concept clear to them in a easy way. And their queries everytime they ask without any hesitation. And taking the different approach for one individual. Making an environment where the student feel free to asking any questions and doubts. I believe as a tutor, I can explain the things considering myself their like when I was unaware…

A tutor can provide an avenue, a way out when a student encounter some problems in their studies. I am an alternative to their parents, in regards to their learning. Hence, it is important for me to get the students to trust me and have no hesitation to come to me to discuss any problem they encounter in their learning. Connection with my students…

Tutor Mornington, VIC
Help students feel more confident in themselves, as well as providing techniques for continuous improvement- rather than just the answer to questions. Make sure the student feels comfortable and foster a safe space for mistakes. Tutors should also strive to understand students own unique learning style and adapt methods accordingly. I have a deep…

Tutor Seaford, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is remember exactly how it felt to learn and struggle to complete the work initially. The tutor should always be patient and understanding and ensure the students knowledge is at competent level, to ensure the work can be completed independently. My strengths as a tutor are that I refuse to…

I've found that one of the most important things for a tutor to keep in mind is pacing. Some students take longer to form a complete understanding of the concepts they are learning, and need a bit more guidance and time (and that's fine!). Others can blitz through content and tend to enjoy more challenging (extension-type) questions. It's…

In order for students to learn to the best of their ability, a tutor needs to create a safe space for them to make mistakes. I believe that the most valuable way to learn is through making mistakes. Additionally, a tutor must demonstrate healthy and effective communication with the student. Both of these aspects foster a respectful and honest…

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.
