Maths Tutor Clifton Hill, VIC
One of the most important things for a maths tutor is to be patient with a student. I believe that it is important to explain concepts in different ways and as many times as required in order for the student to understand it, without getting impatient. I also think that as a tutor, it is important for me to acknowledge if I am unsure about…

The most important thing a maths tutor can do is encourage students to try their best and push themselves even if something feel difficult at first. Tutors should set the foundations that prepare kids for their academic future. I am incredibly flexible with my hours and willing to put in the extra work outside of lessons to help enrich my…

I think the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the tools to be able to confidently work through academic problems on their own. In an English context this can mean teaching a student how to deconstruct what is required by a question, or giving them the skills to analyse a text for thematic and technical…

Maths Tutor Clifton Hill, VIC
For myself personally the most important things a maths tutor can do is to give the student the tools (for example, a formula/way of remembering something) to complete a task rather than showing them. Learning something through trial and error opens up so many more doors and opportunities for ways that the student can improve their learning…

While the goals of every student are individual and varied, and any tutor should adjust their style accordingly, I believe there are a few things a maths tutor can do for any student. They can provide a space where a student feels safe and comfortable expressing themselves, inspire the student to feel confident in their skills and give the student…

Patience and humour during the tutorial. A true interest in their situation. Listen to their way of thinking, reflecting back both the helpful and harmful logic patterns. Make them feel capable, not overwhelmed but stretched enough to feel they are achieving - this builds confidence. Keep the subject fresh and exciting, go outside the…

Work through the concepts that the student is struggling with in school and reinforce and re-explain it until the student understands it. Never deviate from what the student is learning in school, unless it is to fill in gaps in learning.  Where possible, have an ongoing dialogue with the parents and teacher of the student. I would also suggest…

Being patient and encouraging, some students don't grasp concepts right off the bat. You have to be consistent and able to persist with them to help them fully achieve potential. If a student feels under pressure then it can hinder their ability to learn, or even make them give up altogether. Supporting them to let them know they will eventually…

The most important things a maths tutor can do for their students is to teach with patience and in a tutor setting. It is important to remember that not all students have the same skill set. It is also important to remember that you are not in a classroom with 20+ students. A tutor has the ability to dig deep into the struggles of the student and…

By doing this not only are you helping the student to understand the topic, you are enabling to student to apply the idea or concept to…

Instead of just focusing on one method that only appeals to a single learning style, varying teaching techniques can cater your lessons to different learning styles. Students will be more successful…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is. Allow students to make mistakes, and making mistakes is not really a terrible thing. Even many mistakes are the best process for students to learn. And the student makes mistakes and reflects on them so that what he gains is what he can gain for himself. What do you think…

Listen to what the student has to say, and base their teaching strategy around their individual needs.

Taksheel has had his first lesson with Ben last week and it was quite helpful. Ben was well able to engage him and we felt continuing the lessons for an hour each week would be the best way forward for now.

Inside Clifton HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Amber revised the quadratic formula and how to use the discriminant to determine the nature of roots, then practiced applying these skills to worded problems.

For Year 11, Olivia focused on factorising cubic polynomials as well as reviewing errors from her recent test using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ethan tackled logarithms and converting numbers to significant figures, with a focus on interpreting exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 maths, one student often skipped showing working for algebra and graphing questions—"she tried to do it all in her head," a tutor observed, which led to hidden sign errors that took time to find.

A Year 11 student tended to rush through extended response problems, not checking answers or units, so minor mistakes crept into exam-style practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student regularly doubted his answers and avoided attempting unfamiliar tasks unless shown an example first; this hesitancy slowed progress with fractions and statistics, leaving him uncertain about next steps when working alone.

Recent Achievements

One Clifton Hill tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking for help—now, he actively requests clarification when stuck, even asking for instructions to be repeated until he's sure, instead of waiting passively.

In senior English, another high schooler brought a list of specific questions she'd struggled with and worked through each one independently, showing far more ownership over her learning than before.

Meanwhile, a younger student who was initially reluctant about long division ended up finishing challenging multiplication problems with 7s, 8s, and 9s quickly and accurately by the end of the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Both of the tutors that you have sent have been fantastic - very knowledgeable, great with Ollie, could not be happier

I am very pleased with Gabrielle and so is Thomas, so a great start. Just having a  mentor has boasted Thomas's confidence enormously and I listen to how Gabrielle communicates with Thomas and I am amazed. Thomas is very happy.

I had one tutoring session with Tom and he was fantastic. Very easy to talk to and had clearly prepared before coming to see me. The exam that I needed his help to prepare for is this Thursday so I no longer need his services. I have told Tom I will let him know how I went after the exam on Thursday.

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 North Fitzroy Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Clifton Hill Primary School.
