The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to adapt to their learning style and to be supportive. Not every student can be taught using the same plan, and it is necessary to change when needed so that a student can be successful. If a student needs a range of scenarios so that they can clearly understand the topic, it should be…

Help them feel accomplished, proud of themselves and overcome their difficulties by finally learning/understanding a concept or skill. Help them feel better about themselves and hopefully convince them that a bad grade does not define them.

A tutor's responsibility I believe is to not only help out the students with their homework, assignments and exams preparation but also be a mentor for them helping them overcome the difficulties faced by them in school, help them to not only make use of their strengths but also accept their weaknesses and make a positive outcome of it. A tutor…

If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

Be creative and flexible with learning styles Every student has a unique learning style and a unique personality. To be effective, savvy tutors determine the best way to reach each student via their learning style (more visual, more verbal, more written down, etc.). Tutors can next make inroads by finding things that interest their students…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide understanding and gentle encouragement. It has been my experience that, if a student feels like the work is overwhelming and the teacher isn't listening, then the student will simply cease to care or give up. Listening to a student and helping them to work through what…

Patience and communication are the two of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. However, the most important thing is to make an environment that allows the student to feel comfortable with making mistakes. I am extremely patient when it comes to problem solving and helping kids.

The most important thing a tutor can give to his/her student is confidence. The confidence to know that whatever the problem is. There is no point trying to avoid it when if you work hard enough and practice enough with the right help, you will be able to solve problems on your own. Eventually the student does not need the tutor as a crutch if the…

Inside Ellen GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sofia focused on solidifying multiplication skills with the column method and tackled basic division, also practising quick mental maths.

In Year 9, Lucas worked through expanding and factorising binomials using the FOIL method and reviewed solving equations for x by rearranging algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Genevieve revised factorising quadratic equations and applied the null factor law in preparation for her upcoming maths test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student frequently guessed answers in algebra without first unpacking the question, as a tutor observed, "lots of guessing." This led to confusion and repeated errors.

In Year 10, another learner's written work was difficult to follow; untidy layout made it challenging to trace mistakes during trigonometry tasks.

For a senior student working on compound interest problems in Maths Methods, there was heavy reliance on calculators—missing "x" in calculations—and inconsistent attention to unit conversions.

A Year 5 student avoided setting out division steps clearly, so small errors went unnoticed until review. The lack of clear working delayed real progress each lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Ellen Grove tutor noted a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess now regularly talks through her thinking out loud and asks for help as soon as she's unsure, making her approach problems more actively.

A high schooler who'd often skip checking his work is now pausing to fix errors before submitting, showing he's taking ownership of his learning rather than rushing ahead.

In primary, a Year 4 student who previously needed guidance for multiplication has started working out x4 problems by herself and quickly distinguishes positive from negative numbers just by glancing at the question.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Isabelle is lovely and she and Sara hit it off in their first session. We would definitely like to continue with Isabelle, thank you.

Kaitlyn and Jet have had a wonderful start to the term. Judging by the two lessons his had she has managed to make a world of difference already. Kaitlyn has a wonderful personality and has so much patience. I have nothing but praise for her.

Yes I have spoken with Chirag this afternoon. He seems really lovely, confident, competent and friendly and I think someone like this is going to be ideal for our Pops.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forest Lake State School.
