It is essential to understand students' understanding of their topic to assess their skill set appropriately. Failing to do this may cause pushing students ability where some basics for the topic has not been reached. To teach proper, we have to see from the student's point of view. We should ask ourselves as a tutor, Is this understandable? If…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can be to a student is patient and kind. This is because there could be a particular concept the student is struggling with, so the tutor needs to be able to help them learn and improve on that topic. Being patient and kind in explaining it to the student is, therefore, an important part of doing so.…

Most importantly, putting time and efforts after students till their basics are clear is the key for a tutor to use. After clearing the basics, revising and revisiting the already done work is equally important. Having had experience in tutoring, patience is my strength. I think self motivation and hard work are the key to success while mentoring…

Tutor should guide the student to think independently and creatively.

I firmly believe that what differentiates a good tutor…

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.

Inside BurwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Flynn focused on understanding matrix multiplication and transformation matrices, working through worded questions to interpret their real-world applications.

In Year 10, Sucheta completed targeted revision for her upcoming probability test, including practice with Venn diagrams and the addition rule.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam tackled graphing parabolas—finding range and domain—and solved worded problems involving both parabolas and hyperbolas, using visual methods to reinforce concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for SACs in advanced maths was advised to "write down lots of notes to take into his sacs," yet often relied on memory rather than organizing a clear reference book—this left him searching for definitions and methods mid-task.

In a Year 8 session, heavy dependence on calculators was noted; as one tutor put it, "very reliant on calculator need to ease off and start using paper working more to help with test work."

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner struggled with homework conversions between fractions and decimals, leading to incomplete practice before class.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Burwood recently noticed Flynn, a high school student, tackle financial and linear modules that had previously left him unsure—he now works through practice exams with only minor errors needing correction.

In another session, Tayla (Year 7) shifted from hesitating to speak up to regularly volunteering answers and openly asking for help when stuck—a big step compared to her initial quietness.

Meanwhile, Sucheta (senior years) mastered long division of polynomials after initially struggling; by the end of the lesson she was confidently solving them without support.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are certainly happy and off to a great start. Edward has been great, punctual & helpful. I am confident this  trend will continue and George's math will only improve.

We found Luke to be a knowledgeable and good tutor who worked well with Jessica. He was able to provide us with 2 tutoring sessions prior to Jessica's exam. I think more than anything he helped settle her nerves and was able to provide exam study strategies to enable her to approach the Chemistry exam in a prepared and calm manor.

Thanks, we all love love love Kieran.  Just what both my kids needed.  Awesome tutor!

Local Spots for Tutoring
