Make them motivated to continue to do well at school, have fun and make their parents proud. I'm patient, considerate and very careful with how I do things. If it takes an hour to teach someone to fully understand then so be it.…

Psychology Tutor Cairnlea, VIC
Help them gain confidence, and for them to do the best they can. Students that require tutoring are often ones that lack confidence in a subject area. Tutors are there to strengthen and encourage them. Breaking down difficult concepts and passing on my knowledge to students. Also, finding where a student has difficulty and working with them to…

Psychology Tutor Ardeer, VIC
What a tutor should and need to do are guiding a child to enhance their strengths and improve their weaknesses with all of the power invested in ourselves; reminding and figuring out what their barriers are to success (such as are they afraid of they can't pass? or they are not receiving any support from their beloved ones?). In my power, I'd do…

Get them to be confident in what they are studying, and get the student to begin to enjoy what they learn and look forward to learning.

I am able to explain…

To recognise that no two students are the same and that a process like learning needs to be personalised so that the best results are achieved. This personalisation also means that its much more likely for the student to open up and fully engage in the process of assisted learning as they can feel that the session is catered just towards their…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only be able to teach them the material, but to also be able to mentor them. By mentoring, I mean having a close, trusting relationship with your student in order to help them improve their skills on a daily basis. The mentoring relationship allows learning to go beyond…

Firstly, it is important for a tutor to be very meticulous and specific in their teaching process. It is important to use terms that they're familiar with and define ones that they aren't. It is important to set up a step-by-step, logical argument which explains the process and reasoning behind the process. Secondly, it is important to be creative…

I believe that a tutor is not there to chastise and 'drill' concepts into a student's mind. The best thing that a tutor can do for their student is to create a positive, uplifting and supportive learning environment. This ensures that students feel comfortable to learn and improve so that they can approach their mistakes not with self-doubt and a…

I think that the most important for a tutor to do, is to aid the student, not teach. As a tutor, I can be one of the many tools that students can use to consolidate and further optimise their knowledge. A tutor should be able to go through a student's work together with said student, correct and identify any areas that may be lacking in…

One of the most important things a teacher can do for their student is to listen. Not to listen to think of the next response but to listen to understand. I believe as a teacher listening specifically to WHAT the student is asking not HOW they are asking it is one of the most valuable and important skills I've learned to develop. When a student is…

Not everyone thinks in the same way or is at the same level as you are. So, you need to have a variety of techniques or skills on hand in order to help a child understand what they are learning. I am patient and can think from others' point of view. I can tell when a child may be struggling and am able to sense when what I'm doing doesn't make…

Celebrate the wins and encourage and support them through the trickier parts so that we can get more wins and celebrate more so they feel like winners all the time!

As some students are not fast learners and thats okay, I am patient and would find alternative ways to make sure they understand at the end of the day. I believe coming into lessons with a…

Inside CairnleaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Taj focused on probability concepts and practiced multiplication timetables for fluency.

For Year 8, Aashi worked through scientific notation and indices, then tackled practice with multiplying decimals to address past difficulties.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jason reviewed algebraic expressions and solved worded questions involving variables and equations, using real-life examples for context.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, homework was often left incomplete, especially with chapter revision and annotating articles—this meant gaps persisted in key skills like probability.

One Year 10 student repeatedly avoided showing full working when expanding algebraic expressions; as a tutor noted, "she tried to do too much in her head and missed sign errors."

In English for Year 6, a lack of planning caused him to get stuck on what each paragraph should say, leading to frustration mid-essay.

After setbacks on worded questions in Year 11 Maths, one student lost confidence and hesitated to attempt problems without heavy guidance.

Recent Achievements

One Cairnlea tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who had previously struggled with algebraic expressions now working through expansion questions independently, applying each step without prompting.

A Year 7 learner who used to stay quiet during sessions has started speaking up about which maths concepts feel tricky and is now quick to ask for help when needed.

In primary, a student who was often hesitant about reading comprehension began summarising passages aloud and identifying key details by herself—she finished her latest story plan with all the main points mapped out in her own words.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kaitlyn and Jet have had a wonderful start to the term. Judging by the two lessons his had she has managed to make a world of difference already. Kaitlyn has a wonderful personality and has so much patience. I have nothing but praise for her.

We are so far really happy with jun woo. He is highly competent and seems to be doing a great job with Ashton.

Isabelle is lovely and she and Sara hit it off in their first session. We would definitely like to continue with Isabelle, thank you.

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 St Albans Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cairnlea Park Primary School-Western Special Assistance Unit - Language.
