The most important thing is being a mentor outside the immediate role of tutoring. Helping students with their subjects at school is one thing, but if a tutor can also foster growth and development as a person, I find that just as important. My strengths are patience and diligence, as well as a general interest across multiple school subjects. I…

A tutor can not only help a student in excelling in certain subjects, but also to become a better human being. A tutor can become the student's friend so that we get to know the reasons for certain troubles. A tutor can make the feel the student a bit more confident about himself/herself and his/her knowledge in the subject, hence allowing the…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is always listen to them and know what best works for them. This can mean to always pay attention to a student and understand how they learn effectively. This may mean having to make changes and adaptations to your tutoring style which is fine as long as the student gets the…

My strength as a tutor is the way I influence the students to encouraged rather than being forced to do their…

The paramount and crucial thing a tutor can do for a student I believe, is that at the end of the tutoring session, any confusion around specific concepts or questions are resolved and the student leaves with reinforced knowledge and are intellectually developed at the end of a session. In addition, a tutor should be there to support students in…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to encourage, support and develop confidence in their ability.

I believe I…

Patience and humility. When teaching, one must maintain composure or they will go off course. Additionally, the tutor should never believe that they are more knowledgeable than their students in all topics or that they know everything. Many teachers dislike it when their pupils contradict them and turn the situation into an ego conflict. This is…

The goal of tutoring, in some sense, should be to equip students with the skills to no longer need tutoring. I believe this is best achieved by allowing the student to choose study-related goals, and help them take achievable steps in order to get there. As their competence increases in proximity to the larger goal, so too does their confidence as…

I think there are two main things a tutor can do for a student; maintain high grades and garner a positive attitude. It is imperative as a tutor's job to help the student maintain or achieve high grades in the particular area of study. However, high academic standards are not simply enough. It is also important for a tutor to build up an…

As a busy family, having the convenience of a tutor come into the house has made it so much easier for us to commit to weekly tutoring. Our tutor is on time and has been helpful for my daughter understanding maths concepts that were challenging her.

Inside Box HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jamie revised linear functions by identifying x and y axes, finding intercepts, and calculating gradients before plotting coordinates on graphs.

In Year 8, Priya focused on angles in parallel lines, using diagrams to solve for unknown values and reviewing types of angles from term content.

For a Year 9 session, Daniel tackled statistics by constructing frequency tables and bar graphs, then calculated mean, median, mode, and explored box-and-whisker plots to interpret data visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student in algebra avoided showing full working when finding gradients from two points—she skipped steps in equations, which made it hard to spot calculation errors.

In a senior statistics session, incomplete homework on box-and-whisker plots left key gaps; the student hesitated during IQR questions.

A Year 6 student's written work was messy and lacked clear layout in long division, leading to repeated confusion with remainders.

Meanwhile, one primary learner struggled to focus during word problem tasks and guessed answers rather than writing solutions—a rushed approach that led to unfinished revision sheets by lesson's end.

Recent Achievements

One Box Hill tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with graph sketching now confidently draws accurate line graphs from just the equation, no prompting needed.

In a recent high school session, another student who previously second-guessed herself with linear equations was able to recall lesson objectives and solve for unknowns without pausing or asking for help.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with simplifying fractions finally managed to use long division independently by the end of their lesson—after starting out unsure, he worked through several problems on his own and got them right.

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 Our Lady of Sion College.
