Alon
Tutor Bentleigh, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them self-confidence in their ability to study. When I was in high school, I lacked self confidence and it automatically hindered the degree of understanding that I developed for the subject. However, after a few tutoring sessions, my tutor empowered me. He gave me the confidence to…

I believe the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable with you, but also maintaining an atmosphere of "work time" so that the session is as productive as possible. An understanding that children, especially younger ones, cannot focus on tedious tasks as well as adults want them to, is very important to have as a tutor. Breaking…

Be patient and listen.

Inside BentleighTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Anna practised converting between fractions and decimals as well as solving measurement problems involving area.
For Year 8, Tom focused on graphing linear relations and working through equations and inequalities using real-life examples.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia revised trigonometric relationships by connecting sine, cosine, and tangent values with angles, alongside applying the Pythagoras' theorem to a variety of questions.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student often left out written working in algebra, as noted: "need practise showing 'working' when solving any mathematical problems," which led to hidden errors and slower correction.
In Year 10 trigonometry, confusion between values and angles persisted—"easy to get distracted most of the time"—especially with radians.
A younger student repeatedly forgot the multiplication tables during fraction work, making even basic calculations slow.
For several sessions, a Year 7 did not bring required materials like textbooks or exercise books; this meant missed practice opportunities and incomplete follow-up on geometry concepts discussed in lessons.
Recent Achievements
One Bentleigh tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who'd always hesitated to speak up when stuck with algebra now confidently asks clarifying questions before attempting problems—something she never did last term.
In another session, a Year 11 student who previously made frequent errors graphing trigonometric equations managed to solve and graph each type correctly on her own, only double-checking answers at the end.
Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often mixed up fractions and decimals is now reliably converting percentages to fractions without prompting and can explain each step aloud as he works.
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 Bentleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Paul's School.
