The upmost integral thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to demonstrate support.
I've learnt that all students need in education is an abundance of support. I, as a tutor would want to be one of the pillars that support the student in their education. To me, supporting them involves teaching the work, giving feedback, and encourage them…
I think the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to leave an ever lasting impact on their lives in a positive, constructive and the best way possible.

In my opinion the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to build a longer term work practice to allow the student to be successful without tuition in the future.
This requires building confidence, breaking down problems, setting goals, and effectively managing time. I build working relationships with students very…
The most important thing a maths tutor does for a student is helping them become more confident, so that they have faith in their own abilities and performance.

One of the most important things for a maths tutor to do is genuinely listen to their student. Understanding what their actual concern is, and having a grasp on what they need help with the most, in my opinion, is what can most likely lead to the success of a student's learning. In addition, assuring that it is okay for the student to have a try,…
As a maths tutor, you play an important role in a student's mentality towards education. A tutor should aim to correct the "I can't do it" mindset that many students have into an "I can't do it now, but with some guidance and work I will be able to" mindset. But a tutor should also be able to help an already excelling student to achieve higher and…

I will teach them, life is just like Maths, it sometimes seems complicated, but once you have navigated it through, it is very simple. I am a recent high school graduate with a strong academic…
The most important thing I can do as a maths tutor is provide a second perspective on the student's year 12 experience.
While completing VCE, our school hired students who had finished year 12 the year before to be available after school and during classes to tutor. While they hadn't had any formal tutoring experience, I found that the best…
I have had a couple experiences with tutors, and for me tutors were able to lift my confidence regarding the subjects and allow me to reach my full potential. Again, I have never tutored before, however, I do communicate and have been involved in many programs through school, that allow me to support and communicate with the younger year…

Having an environment as such makes the task of learning and teaching easier on both the student and the tutor. One of my strengths as a tutor are that i am able to communicate effectively. Due to my…
I think that the main role for a maths tutor is to guide the srudent through their learning. This is a different role to what a teacher plays as a tutor's role is to help the student build on specific weaknesses and consolidate strong areas in a given subject. Ability to communicate, organisation and…
First and foremost, make sure the student properly understands all the content. From there, a maths tutor should provide refinement, using their experience to show their students how to tackle exams and tests. I ardently want to see my students succeed, and will put in the effort to achieve this. Completing the most recent version of the study…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student would be to be able to have the student reach their goals in their school work, tests and grades. I am great at explaining things in details. For example, if I were to be tutoring maths, instead of only showing answers, I would explain the steps to the answer and better explain concepts to help…
-To identify a student's knowledge gaps, and to subsequently help the student learn something new. This requires the tutor to build on what the student already knows.
-To break difficult concepts/ problems down into more simple parts, to facilitate easier learning for the student. To explain difficult concepts into layman's terms.
-To help…

Through this, I believe that I'm setting students up for future success by showing them how exciting and engaging learning is, and the study skills necessary to pursue this. But more importantly,…
Improving confidence and passion.
Without confidence, you won't even ask for help. This is why we must distil a solid foundation of knowledge in students so they both know what they need to improve on and how to ask for help with it.
From here you build passion, once mathematics stops being a 'scary' subject it can become a fair bit of fun. This…
I believe that when the right tutor is paired with the right student, they can help the student to understand the pleasure of academic subjects. A tutor's responsibility, in my opinion, should be to identify why the student may be struggling in that specific area of academics and then to adjust their teaching approach and technique to cater for…
Tutor should have Excellent skills of explaining things in a easy way where students enjoy and at the same time gain knowledge. Tutor should give his / her 100% into teaching and giving the best knowledge in best possible way to the student. Explaining the subject in the easiest way is the best thing a tutor can do for a student I think I have a…
I think the most important job of a tutor is to help the student, not just in answering questions, but by giving them a fundamental understanding of the content that they would be able to reapply to many other questions, particularly ones that are curveballs. Apart from that, giving them the belief that they can do well if they just apply…
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.
