Explaining the concepts clearly and easily along with appropriate examples are the must for a tutor. But, more importantly, a tutor should help students cultivate good habits like hard work, discipline, confidence, time management etc. By doing so, a student not only grows academically but also personally. And this can help them in the future. I…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student would be, firstly helping the student develop understandings of the subject at a fundamental level and then building up to a mastery from there. Secondly, being an assistant to help in any task they may deem to difficult to tackle alone, but not doing it for them, instead helping them find the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence. It's not just about helping them get the right answerâ”it's about helping them believe that they can get there on their own. When a student feels supported, understood, and encouraged, they’re more willing to try, ask questions, and grow. A tutor…

The most important thing is to be flexible and non-judgemental. You have to be open to different challenges that the student may be facing beyond the subject. Each student is different and has different ways to learn and as such your teaching method should reflect this. I think my strengths are that I am patient but firm when teaching my students.…

Instil them with confidence! Breaking down those confidence barriers a student might have could result in them tackling a question they would have never attempted otherwise. This also means persevering when they get answers wrong - they know they'll get there eventually. Another really important part of being a tutor is providing the student…

1. A tutor must first believe that every child can succeed. Their confidence in the child alone will be able to shift their attitude towards learning. 2. A tutor must thoroughly understand each student and see them as a whole person, not just a *Mathematics student. 3. This is so that with regular assessments, the tutor can craft a learning…

I believe critical thinking is the most important skill that a tutor can bring to a student, since I think the responsibility of a tutor is to lead and motivate a student to complete their school tasks by themselves, rather than depending on help from a tutor. A tutor should also provide adequate solutions for different students. As I believe…

A tutor shouldn't be the individual who would only be associated with studies and stuff.

Moreover, a tutor should be a guiding light to the student. - Communication - Experience -…

Inside Bentleigh EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Poppy practised division strategies and reviewed perimeter concepts using her school homework as a base.

In Year 8, Max focused on simplifying algebraic fractions and solving simultaneous equations, including work with partial fractions for deeper understanding.

Ava, in Year 10, revised key skills in fractions and percentages to prepare for an upcoming test, concentrating on converting between the two forms and applying them to worded problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student began to lose track of his books and submitted late homework, especially as division and times tables were set for practice; as one tutor noted, "he's starting to forget to organise his books neatly and orderly."

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student working on VCE Maths struggled with clarity in written working—steps were rushed or left off when using the CAS calculator, which led to confusion in vector questions.

In a Year 5 session, a lack of confidence meant Ava hesitated to start fraction addition unless prompted, slowing her progress during independent tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Bentleigh East tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to skip homework now completes every task and even asks for harder practice questions, showing real initiative.

In Year 8 maths, a student who previously hesitated with decimals has started working through decimal problems independently and timed himself on practice sets to push his speed.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4, who would quietly guess at answers before, now talks through her problem-solving steps out loud—especially when tackling tricky multiplication—and finished all her worded questions quickly without any help this week.

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 Valkstone Primary School.
