A tutor is there to build confidence, in my opinion.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to understand that they are essentially human beings, and should be treated as such. Therefore, a friendly peer-to-peer approach should be taken in place of a paternal one. In addition, care should be taken to promote their independent cognitive abilities rather than, however…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to support them along their learning journey. Learning is not a linear experience and it does take a lot of patience, time, and effort, and as a tutor, it is important to guide and support their student throughout the journey. It is also important to be a mentor and someone that the…

A tutor should be a role model for a student and that's not just in the area of maths but also in terms of attitude and behaviour. A tutor may also act as a friend or a mentor, dealing with some issues that are outside of maths e.g. school work. Ultimately a tutor is paid to help the student improve/get good grades in maths. My strengths lie in…

Every child is unique, so he/she has to be dealt with and moulded accordingly. The greatest thing in my eyes that a tutor can do for a student is listening to the student requirements as to what or where he/she needs special attention, or what he is grabbing or not. The greatest asset to this is communication, a student can only open his/her heart…

Patience and humility. When teaching, one must maintain composure or they will go off course.

I think it is very important to ask the student if they’re still attentive and understanding after every while of teaching. This is because of the student have lost concentration, they will not be able to learn anything and the lesson will be effectively useless.

Local Reviews
Inside Blackburn NorthTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Carla worked on polynomials and transformations in preparation for an upcoming SAC, focusing on applying these concepts to test-style questions.
Year 10 student Julita tackled application-based calculus problems, especially absolute maximum and minimums, using practical scenarios to deepen understanding.
For a younger student in Year 5, basic subtraction was revisited along with practice on two-digit by two-digit multiplication to build calculation accuracy.
Recent Challenges
In Year 11 Maths, a student relied heavily on the calculator and missed chances to learn more efficient methods—"could learn more efficient CAS practices," noted one tutor.
During Year 10 Chemistry, revision focused only on familiar metallic and ionic bonding problems; unfamiliar question types were avoided.
In a Year 4 session, incomplete homework meant multiplication tables stayed shaky, leading to confusion in multi-step division.
One Year 7 struggled with writing out working for algebra, preferring to solve "in his head," which made it hard to catch errors.
When tasks pile up or feedback isn't used, understanding lags behind what's possible.
Recent Achievements
A Blackburn North tutor recently noticed Carla, a Year 12 student, move from needing step-by-step guidance on differentiation to independently applying the quotient and product rules across unfamiliar calculus problems—she now checks her own work for errors before asking for help.
Meanwhile, Chloe in Year 11, who once hesitated with graphing functions, was able to confidently sketch piecewise graphs and spot mistakes in her SAC answers by herself.
At the primary level, one student who struggled with long division is now reliably setting out each step without reminders and can explain their reasoning aloud as they work through problems.

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 Blackburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Old Orchard Primary School.
