First and foremost, I would argue that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide motivation and encouragement; cultivating the student's desire to learn and succeed.

1. A tutor must first believe that every child can succeed. Their confidence in the child alone will be able to shift their attitude towards learning.
2. A tutor must thoroughly understand each student and see them as a whole person, not just a *Mathematics student.
3. This is so that with regular assessments, the tutor can craft a learning…
I believe that understanding is the most important thing a tutor must do for a student.

I am currently…

In my personal opinion and experience, having an informal connection with the student alongside being their tutor is extremely beneficial as they are able to clearly and more freely express their opinions related to studies and also helps the tutor in gaining insight into their learning styles. As a tutor, I utilize my leadership and communication…
Explaining the concepts clearly and easily along with appropriate examples are the must for a tutor. But, more importantly, a tutor should help students cultivate good habits like hard work, discipline, confidence, time management etc. By doing so, a student not only grows academically but also personally. And this can help them in the future. I…

I believe a tutor is not sole to enhance the academic excellence of a student, but to help the student to develop personal skills in their character and morals as well.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them a sense of confidence when they return the classroom after having something explained to them in a way they can understand.

I view the role of a tutor as more of a assistant to the teacher.

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.
What they say about our tutoring
Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good. He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp).
Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive. Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies.
We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week.
Thanks also for the newsletter. I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!
All is great with Nathan.
He's a lovely man and April has her block testing for maths tomorrow and she's confident- a good sign.
April will now have a couple of weeks break due to holidays but Nathan will certainly be coming back.
April quietly winges  about the homework Nathan sets for her but we don't interfere and are glad that Nathan makes sure its completed as April's attitude to maths was pretty bad.
Anne is loving tutoring and James is doing an amazing job so yes we are very happy and wish to continue!
