English Tutor Keilor Park, VIC
I believe tutors play a vital role in helping students develop confidence in their own learning abilities and the motivation to keep working hard through encouraging them and providing them with assistance on particular topics that they may be struggling with. Tutors can also provide students with study tips and skills that will help them to study…

At a foundational level, it's most important to ensure the student feels confident with the material they're learning. As a first step, it's important for a tutor to assist in honing in and helping the student practice so that their skill level matches the basic requirements of the subject. Then the next most important thing a tutor can do for a…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student include helping them find confidence in themselves and discovering the ways in which they learn best.

To recognise that no two students are the same and that a process like learning needs to be personalised so that the best results are achieved.

Empathy: Understand how the student is feeling or understood a particular concept based on their behavioural and body language cues. This is because most students do not give explicit feedback.

I consider one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence. Once this is established and the student has faith in their own abilities, the tutor is able to guide and facilitate their learning as a pose to simply instruct. The role of the tutor is to recognise what the student is capable of doing on their own…

A tutor's role gets more prominent when s/he tries to enable the learner to understand the language and use the language in the real world. Put it simply, the learner should be enabled to understand English, analyse it, speak it and more importantly use the English functions in the right place. For instance, in sessions with learners, I will…

One of the most vital things a tutor should do is ensure that he is understood teaching-wise and that he understands his pupils perfectly.

It is significantly…

The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

Inside Essendon FieldsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Tyler worked on converting between percentages, fractions, and decimals using tables, then applied this understanding to worded problems.

In Year 7, Hayden explored persuasive writing techniques—like expert opinions and emotional appeals—and analysed how these are used in sample texts.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Damon focused on identifying and drawing different types of angles (right, acute, obtuse) and practiced finding area and perimeter for various 2D shapes using diagrams.

Recent Challenges

Sami needs to work on showing his working out for numeracy, rather than just the answer itself; this led to errors in calculation going unnoticed until late.

In Year 6 maths, Tyler's homework was incomplete due to illness but previously had been left unattempted—missing out on essential practice between sessions.

A Year 5 student tried sneaking a calculator into maths tasks; once it was removed, she showed better focus but struggled with signs when rushing.

The missed steps and incomplete revision have left gaps that resurface in later problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Essendon Fields tutor noticed Sami, a high school student, tackling a heavier workload than usual—he managed to complete 90% of his assigned work and showed initiative by asking to play a literacy game as a reward for finishing on time.

Meanwhile, Hayden (also in high school) demonstrated a real shift: after previously hesitating with unfamiliar vocabulary, he now reads new words aloud and creates strong real-life examples for writing strategies.

In primary, Charlotte began her session not knowing multiplication but finished confidently drawing out groups to solve questions like 5x5 and 3x7.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Regardless of his university workload he is still able to find the time to teach me topics which I, personally, was unable to comprehend. Although he may be young, his abilities have allowed me to develop a greater understanding of mathematics along with helping me uncover my pure passion for the world that is maths.

Tutoring with Amir is going much better. He is very knowledgeable on the subject and I feel Jaime will definitely improve and benefit from ongoing tutoring

Deepti has been tutoring my son in Year 7. Deepti has developed an amazing rapport with my son and has inspired him emensely. His maths results for algebra have improved out of sight since having Deepti tutor him. Deepti is able to engage him and explain the rules and concepts and reinforce them through practice. Having been a teacher myself, I am very impressed with Deepti's skills and this has been reflected in my son's results. In addition his keenness in maths since having Deepti as his tutor is very impressive.

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 Moonee Valley Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Strathmore North Primary School.
