In my opinion, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is believing in the students and their ability to succeed, thus, of course not only me but my students will never give up on themselves but be more motivated to become better and better everyday. As a tutor, my major strength is my experience. I have been teaching for a long…

The most important things a tutor can do is to guide students to be able to learn and figure out problems themselves. A good tutor will personalize the learning experience teaching to the students strengths so they can more easily undersand difficult concepts.

I consider encouragement, feedback and trust to be an important part of tutoring. The teacher should support the learner to become more confident in their own academic capabilities, giving them timely and accurate feedback. Also, it is just as important to build positive relationships with your students so they can come to you with their problems…

Education can be extremely enjoyable but, understandably, if students cannot grasp concepts and ideas, they quickly lose interest. I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to show their students that learning can actually be fun by teaching them about new ways of thinking. This, in turn, would help them engage in the content of a…

I would say understanding student's problem is the most important to help a student. Student's problem can be in the subject matter itself, or way the subject is delivered. Some may prefer more theory in the beginning, and some may prefer tutorial way of learning. So, tutoring should be tailor-made to a student for best learning experience. As a…

I believe the most integral part of tutoring is to find the best ways your particular student can learn and understand. Once this is achieved, all the other aspects like explaining the content and going through exercises will fall into place more easily. When you know how your student learns best, they will be able to apply those methods…

Being willing to help, but also acknowledge the rare instances where a tutor may be unable to help to a confident level. I believe it is better to acknowledge if you do not know something rather than pretend you do and risk teaching something that is incorrect. When this problem is encountered, however, it is up to the tutor to rectify this by…

First important thing is the encouragement. Tutor should appreciate the student for his work, at the same time, he should encourage the student to improve more.

Spending time and resources on improving myself so that the I as a tutor can make the student understand better. Being honest, patient and a good listener adds up to it.

Inside DerrimutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emma revised quadratic equations and functions, focusing on graph interpretation and problem-solving; Year 10 student Lucas tackled trigonometry by graphing sine and cosine functions, along with a review of transformations to strengthen his foundation; meanwhile, Year 3 student Zoe practiced multiplication facts and solved word problems involving money using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, one student was "a bit lax with her homework," leading to missed practice on application questions and slower progress in trigonometry graphing.

In a senior English session, skipping questions when unsure meant some tasks were left incomplete and unattempted until prompted.

A Year 5 learner's written work was described as "hard to follow," with untidy layout making it difficult to check for errors—especially in multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly avoided challenging multiplication questions, returning only to familiar material and requiring frequent reminders to persist when tasks became unfamiliar or effortful.

Recent Achievements

One Derrimut tutor noted a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess at problems but now regularly asks for help when stuck, especially during complex homework—she completed nearly all tasks this week and initiated questions on her own.

A high schooler in Year 9 has started challenging herself by choosing harder questions for practice, getting them right on recent assignments after previously sticking only to basics.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to recite times tables can now confidently recall them aloud without prompting and tackled double-digit multiplication with less support than before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My son Joshua had Tu as a tutor and he had great results. He responded well to Tu as a teacher, his marks improved and he gained confidence through the tutoring.

We were very happy with your company and my daughter's tutor, Daniel. There was an obvious improvement in my daughter's performance and attitude towards maths as reflected in her end of year report.

Meagan has started off with a good start to her Maths with the help from Ma. She is a brilliant Tutor and lovely girl we are extremely happy and would recommend her to anyone. We are really pleased to-date.

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 Brimbank Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Derrimut Primary School.
