Helping develop adaptability and time-management skills. Encouraging independent and critical thinking. Improving a student's overall attitude towards…

A tutor should offer an individualised teaching method that works to that student's strengths and takes into account any weaknesses. Whether that mean explaining new concepts in more engaging ways or focusing on certain aspects that a student is finding particularly difficult to grasp. A tutor should also help students feel more confident in their…

A tutor's most important role is to make learning accessible by breaking down complex topics into simple, digestible parts while adapting to the student’s learning style. Encouraging critical thinking rather than just providing answers helps students develop problem-solving skills, while building their confidence ensures they feel capable of…

Creating a supportive, encouraging environment helps students…

I think it’s not only about teaching them the assigned subjects but also guiding them and boosting their confidence when it comes to exams, presentation or any other academical activities. It shouldn’t be one way classes it should always be interactive, interesting and innovative. I would also focus on maintaining the tutor and the student…

I believe that tutors must aim to sculpt their students spark for the subject their teaching: to not only help them understand the subject and obtain a good outcome, but to make them enjoy the process of learning. I believe that a tutor has truly succeeded their responsibilities when their student anticipates their lessons and excell due to the…

Be patient. Tutors must always be patient with students as both stand on different levels in education and understanding. What may have come easily to the tutor may not come so easily for the student. Furthermore, what seems extremely easy to the tutor may be very hard for their student. Therefore, it is imperative that the tutor is patient in…

To listen to them, I find that they often know best their own struggles, and it can be incredibly valuable to listen to them so that they can feel like they're being heard and helped. This can also help avoid the kids feeling like they are pointlessly covering areas they are already confident in. I have babysat and informally tutored for many…

Personally, I believe the most important things a tutor can do is being fully aware of the student's experience so that the tutor can adapt their own teaching styles and interactions in order to best support the student. This not only contributes to the process of learning content, but also to the wellbeing of the student under tutelage as…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide a safe, and judgement-free environment for the student to asks doubts, no matter how basic.

In my opinion, the most important things a tutor can do for a student would be to build confidence and make learning approachable according to the learning style of the student.

The most important thing a tutor can do is be kind and patient with a student.

We should guide and support the students through their learning journey and ideally nurture their curiosity towards the different subjects so as to possibly develop a passion for a particular subject.

Inside FitzroyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Gus focused on measurement skills including unit conversions, perimeter, and an introduction to surface area, as well as exploring the angle sum in triangles.

In Year 9, Maryam worked on solving simultaneous equations using substitution and elimination, then applied these methods to practical problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ali reviewed operations with fractions—adding, subtracting, multiplying with different denominators—and extended this knowledge to simplifying algebraic fractional expressions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 6 student in Fitzroy showed difficulty setting out work neatly and consistently dating pages, making it harder to track progress—especially when tackling worded measurement problems.

As one tutor observed, "she struggles to walk through questions speaking out loud," which made it tough to clarify her thinking on fraction conversions and unit changes.

In Year 10 English, a student forgot to submit an essay by the deadline, delaying feedback and causing extra stress before class.

A senior maths student arrived unprepared for sessions without essential materials like a pen or laptop; this slowed the start and limited practice time.

Recent Achievements

One Fitzroy tutor noticed a Year 11 student, Celeste, who used to hesitate with trigonometry word problems now confidently solves bearings and graphing tasks on her own—she even tackles complex questions without prompting.

In another session, Maryam (Year 10) moved from confusion about box plots to clearly explaining five-figure summaries and solving simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods.

Meanwhile, in Year 6 maths, Ella showed a shift from struggling with measurement topics to independently working through area and volume questions, finishing her test section on these without needing hints.

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 Fitzroy Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sacred Heart School.
