Build a relationship with the student. If you can make the sessions enjoyable then the student will be more likely to engage and try to improve. Patience, lots of students don't understand the concepts straight away and therefore you need to be patient with them to help them achieve their goals. Adaptability, every student learns in different…

A tutor shouldn't be the individual who would only be associated with studies and stuff. A tutor should be someone to whom a student can approach with any sorts of problem with the expectation that their tutor can find a solution to it. Moreover, a tutor should be a guiding light to the student. - Communication - Experience -…

I believe most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide a safe and encouraging space where the student feels free to voice any of their concerns or to ask questions. In addition to this a tutor should be commited to understanding the learning style of their student and the ways in which they respond to different teaching methods in…

Listening. I think the best thing a tutor/mentor can do is listen to their students to find out which subjects/areas that need to be focused on.

Be a person who they can come to when they need help.

Passing on knowledge keeping in mind the strength, weaknesses and the time required for the student to grasp the content that is being communicated.

Inside CanterburyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom reviewed algebraic expressions and practiced solving simultaneous equations using substitution.

Year 9 student Olivia focused on trigonometry concepts, including the application of sine, cosine, and tangent to solve right-angled triangle problems, as well as interpreting angles of elevation and depression with diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah worked through differentiation by first principles and explored exponential functions, including how to graph their derivatives.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student often skipped assigned textbook questions in favour of PowerPoint examples; as one tutor noted, "she got very confused in the test," suggesting missed practice led to gaps under exam conditions.

For a Year 11 student tackling trigonometric functions, working was sometimes too brief and lacked detail required by examiners—this meant partial marks were lost even when concepts were understood.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, there was hesitancy to attempt written explanations: "she had to go back" when faced with unfamiliar formats, showing reliance on memorised rules rather than reasoning through new problems.

Recent Achievements

One Canterbury tutor noted a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after struggling to interpret exam questions, now asks clarifying questions before diving in and is making fewer avoidable errors as a result.

In a recent high school session, another student who used to rush through probability problems without checking their work began taking time to draw out tree diagrams and self-corrected mistakes that had tripped them up previously.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner who once hesitated to speak up about tricky fractions now volunteers strategies for simplifying answers during lessons and even suggested extra practice topics for next week.

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 Balwyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Strathcona Baptist Girls' Grammar.
