1. Understand the strong areas a student is in, let's say it's hard to teach the student mathematics/science when his/her passion is towards art. Understanding the key competencies of a student makes a good tutor, who can then channel them in the right direction to progressive and efficient results. 2. Practical learning, it's easier to teach…

Tutor can guide the student effectively. Tutoring doesn’t mean delivering lecture and completing the curriculum. It is responsible for holistic development of the pupils. Most important a teacher can do is to check the students individual growth and planning for the same. I have more than 4 years of teaching experience. I have taught formally as…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student to me would be being able to provide extra 1 on 1 time with a student that they might not be able to have in a school setting. By having 1 on 1 time with a student, it is easier to teach them and make them understand the content. Also being able to be contacted by the student outside school…

Often times students feel ashamed to ask questions or seek out help. Therefore, creating a space for the student's emotions allows them to approach me with any question or issue that they have without fear or embarrassment is a priority for me. This opens doors to learning new things and even accelerates the education and teaching process. My…

I think a tutor should help build on students’ current thought processes and methods through asking them how they’d first approach a challenging question and their next steps using the given information. This is because when people are stressed they resort to what they know best. As such, in test conditions students will be less likely to…

1. A tutor’s first job is to help students believe in themselves. When students feel capable and supported, they’re unstoppable. It’s about saying, "Yes, you can," and meaning it. 2.Every student is unique, and a great tutor listens, observes, and tailors their approach to fit what works best for them. Learning isn’t…

A tutor has the ability to lend a comforting ear to the student away from the classroom. A tutor can lift a students morale by providing a safe space outside the classroom where they can voice their academic concerns. In essence an effective tutor means undivided attention to cater for a students well being. I am result oriented. I am an active…

Nicole

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.

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.
