As a tutor, I believe the most important trait is to be inspiring to those you are tutoring.

It is easy for students to disengage from tutors who are not inspiring even if they are trying to help their…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand their goals, however big or small they are, and help them find ways to achieve them in addition to the teaching. Teaching is the main aspect of tutoring, however, as someone who has had a few tutors, I think the most important aspect is to try and get the students to achieve…
In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make learning fun and engaging. Many times, concepts can be difficult to understand just because they may not be taught the right way. Transferring knowledge to students in a fun and engaging fashion is the best thing a tutor can do for their students. I believe that I am very…
One of the most important attributes for being a good tutor is to be patient. Every student learns at their own pace as it is dependent on their background knowledge as well as their individual approach to learning. This also means being a good listener. Although the tutor is the one guiding and the learning process, it is important to pick up…

In school, with class sizes of 25+ students, it can be hard for students to gauge the full understanding of the materials presented in class. Tutoring gives students a chance to learn content in depth and ask questions that they may not be able to in class. Students can also have very different learning styles and I believe that a tutor can adopt…
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that they understand what they are learning instead of providing them with the answer. It is often the case when explaining something to a student and they say they understand, however it is clear they do not. Being persistent and patient with students is far more…
As I have noticed with most of my tutors, they usually teach me by making me remember a methodology systematically, thus when there is a slight variation in the question it would stump me. That is why, I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to not manufacture students into robots that only remember specific methods for generic…
They can simplify the concepts that the students are struggling with and help them understand the concepts in their own way, tailored to their minds. Tutors can also show the students different methods of approach to similar problems and how they themselves try to understand it and teach that to the students. I believe my strengths are having…
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
