The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make him/her confident in their own abilities.

Since this is a 1-on-1 tutorial, the tutor must give full attention to the student. Also to find ways to make sessions enjoyable but not to the point of sacrificing the time for teaching. And again to be patient so that the student can fully understand the topics being discussed. My best quality as a tutor would be my patience. I know a lot of…

However, as a tutor I can provide them the support they need outside of their school to ensure they properly understand every topic. I haven't really tutored anyone before, but from helping my peers…

The ultimate intention of tutoring, I believe, is to guide students to the point at which they can become independent learners and like tutors, teach other students. Therefore, the most important things a tutor can do to help the student reach this goal is personalise the learning and teach to the student's strengths, meanwhile minimising their…

Personally, the most important thing I think a tutor can do to help students is to reduce their study burden. Most of the time when a tutor is called in, it is primarily because the children struggle with this particular subject and needed help. Therefore, it is only fair if the burden be lifted off of them and not asserting more. Some mistake the…

Inside Clyde NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Caim worked through Cambridge Chapters 2A and 2B, focusing on bivariate data introduction and investigating associations between categorical variables using practical examples.

Year 7 Ashraf completed spelling tests targeting commonly misspelled words and suffixes, then practiced TEEL paragraph structure in responses to reading comprehension texts.

For primary support, a Year 3 student took an English assessment covering reading skills and tackled worksheets on irregular verbs and helping verbs for grammar reinforcement.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion has been inconsistent, especially in recent sessions—English homework was not submitted for both Year 7 and Year 9 tasks.

"Needs to do homework; is neglecting it," one tutor noted after a missed assignment.

Written work frequently lacked structure and clarity, with paragraphing issues seen in a Year 8 narrative piece, and wordy sentences affecting Year 10 essay responses.

Distraction during lessons remains common: a Year 7 student repeatedly lost focus while reading comprehension tasks, requiring several prompts to return to task.

Frustration after errors sometimes led to reluctance when attempting more challenging questions in senior English.

Recent Achievements

One Clyde North tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now confidently questions until he fully understands tricky English concepts, leading to more accurate and thoughtful worksheet responses.

In a recent high school session, another student took real initiative by editing her own writing for errors before the tutor checked it—a shift from waiting passively in earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner showed newfound independence by correcting his spelling mistakes on his own after reading aloud, then chose harder words for extra practice without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi, Ruhail has been great and his flexibility has helped enormously. He spent 3.5 hours with Casey last weekend as she had a test she was very concerned about. Casey did much better in her test than she would have done and we are already over the moon. Please pass on our thanks.

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as '˜no good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy so far.

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 Cranbourne Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Clyde Creek Primary School - Specialist Campus.
