I think one of the most important things is for the tutor to be understanding and listen to the student's problems to be able to grasp what they are struggling with and aid them effectively. It is also useful for the tutor to build a good relationship with the student to help increase their strengths in learning and incorporate their interests I…

The first and foremost thing a physics tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done…

Be patient, sometime students are having a hard time to understand some new confusing concepts in math or physics. It is important to explain the concept to students in a different way. During such a time, finding a new way to explain things in an easier way such students can learn is very important or students might give up on this point. In the…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen. Their curiosity is ignited, and they are more likely to ask questions in class and read additional texts about things that interest them.…

In my opinion, the most important thing a physics tutor can do for students is making sure that the student completely understands the concept and does not try to rote learn it. I believe that a tutor is a person who can change the point of view of a student through which they can grasp the concept well and improves their understanding ability. I…

I think a physics tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a…

Our modern world is built around education and every student can expect to experience a lot of it in the future. Therefore, it is most important that a physics tutor should model genuine interest in learning (both the subject matter and how to learn well), so that the student him/herself enjoys the process and is encouraged to become a lifelong…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial.

Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

Inside Cumberland ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ella revised advanced algebra questions and explored real-life applications of ratios in preparation for a test.

For Year 10, Andrea worked through exponential equations and factorials, solidifying her understanding with targeted practice on these challenging concepts.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student focused on polynomials—identifying key features for an assignment—and began tackling trigonometry questions to reinforce graphing skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student showed reluctance to attempt graph sketching without guidance; "she did not do enough graph sketching," leading to gaps when tackling domain and range problems independently.

In Year 8 algebra, one student avoided writing out working, especially when unsure about substituting values—this led to confusion about what the question required and inconsistent analyses.

For a Year 6 learner, over-reliance on calculators meant basic multiplication facts weren't recalled automatically during quick-fire exercises.

A Year 4 student struggled with following written lines in number work, making errors harder to spot or correct mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cumberland Park noticed that one Year 11 student, who used to avoid difficult questions, now independently attempts challenging problems after just a little prompting and even handed in her assignment draft with no concerns.

In Year 9, another student showed a shift from needing constant guidance to confidently suggesting her own approaches—she now requires fewer prompts to answer algebra questions and explains her reasoning clearly.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled with multiplication is recalling tables more easily and now works through worksheets, recognising and correcting mistakes on her own.

Emily has truly benefited from tutoring and I would not hesitate to recommend your service or to come back again if we felt Emily needed further help.

l'm very happy!! Bridget has learnt so much, the tutor is such a beautitful person and an amazing teacher

We are more than happy with James. He has made a strong impression on both Jack and Sam. Both boys are keen and eager to please James. He has a lovely quiet demeanor and is constantly praising the boys and clearing explaining the steps as they are learning.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Westbourne Park Primary School.
