Tess

English Tutor Deepdene, VIC
I believe the role of the tutor is to build the basic skills of english comprehension/essay writing to that the student is prepared to tackle any assignment or examination. I do not believe in rote learning but instead on delving deeply into specific issues a student may have with writing and to address them methodically. It is not about the…

English Tutor Preston, VIC
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to develop the student's critical thinking skills so that when they continue to study or whatever they want to achieve in life, they have the skills to keep learning and teaching themselves. A tutor must not only give a student the confidence and encouragement needed to learn properly, but…

English Tutor Mont Albert North, VIC
The goal of tutoring, in some sense, should be to equip students with the skills to no longer need tutoring. I believe this is best achieved by allowing the student to choose study-related goals, and help them take achievable steps in order to get there. As their competence increases in proximity to the larger goal, so too does their confidence as…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient and flexible. If a student does not understand a concept, perhaps a different style of explanation is necessary. My strengths as a tutor are my patience, conversation skills, and flexibility with my…

I think the most important thing a 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…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them the space to make mistakes and learn on their own. Every student is different, and it is incredibly important for tutors to recognise how a student likes to learn - (visual vs written, memory, attention span, challenged vs small steps, etc.), but however that is,…

Being an inspirational character. A tutor has to encourage his/her students always. During a semester/course, there will be certain times when students will lose interests for a poor mark (may be), or a personal problem. A tutor can't force a student to complete a session because it has to! A friendly approach can be helpful sometimes as well.…

Build their confidence. Every student is different. One cannot treat them on the same plain. Some are aware of their shortcomings and are just confused. Some are hardworking while others can be smart-workers or differently remarked. A tutor must recognise that talent in them and help them use it in growing. Explaining instances metaphorically…

The Tutor should have a lot of patience while teaching children, as each child is different from one other. Tutor should understand each student's ability and talent and motivate them to do further in their own field. It should be the tutor's job to go to each student individually and ask if they are good with study materials and understanding…

A tutor is a magician to the students. He can't do magic but he can do wonders if the chemistry between the tutor. The most important thing is the tutor will be a friend to the student without actually being a friend. The magic lies here. The mentality that I never give up. I was not a very gifted student so I had to work hard to understand…

Helping them feel to comfortable to make mistakes, and then to learn from said mistakes.

Giving them a vivid imagination can be a…

Inside EaglemontTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mitch focused on converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and representing fractions on a number line, working through practical examples for clarity.

Year 10 student Olivia reviewed scatterplots and Pearson's correlation coefficient in preparation for an upcoming general maths assessment, including hands-on calculator skills practice.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah explored chemical bonding by distinguishing between covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds and determining polarity using real compound examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 maths, Elena often tried to solve division and multiplication questions in her head or all at once, avoiding written steps. As a tutor observed, "she submitted homework without showing working out," which made it difficult to track where errors crept in.

For Year 10 English, Mitch missed the short story deadline over the break; this meant lesson time was spent catching up rather than exploring new writing strategies.

During senior chemistry revision, one student forgot to bring prepared flashcards for different bond types, so class time shifted from review to last-minute note-making instead of deeper comparison work.

Recent Achievements

One Eaglemont tutor noticed a real shift with Mitch, a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when asked about literary techniques—last week, he quickly spotted metaphors and alliteration in a poem and even linked them to the mood of the text without prompting.

In chemistry, another high schooler managed to distinguish between polar and nonpolar molecules independently after previously mixing up the concepts, now able to explain each stage in her own words.

Meanwhile, Felix in Year 5 showed new initiative by tackling division problems he'd struggled with before, solving several tough examples on his own during class.

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 Ivanhoe Library & Cultural Hub—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Mercy College.
