I believe the most important being a tutor was the ability to express clearly so that students are able to understand the contents being taught clearly while not being felt that they are isolated because they are behind others who could understand from the get go. It is also important to show passion and commitment by checking on each student’s…

From personal experience, I found myself second-guessing a lot of answers and solutions which not only was time-consuming and inefficient, but it also affected my thought process for future questions. Thus, I think creating an environment where the student is confident in making their own decisions and following their own train of thought is the…

Engage with the student at their level - understand that concepts and content does not always come easily, and be willing to understand the 'why' behind the students' mistakes rather than approaching their learning focusing purely on correcting them. I'm willing to approach problems with students' learning from different angles to find out how to…

I consider the most thing a tutor can do for a student is personalisation and to instill belief in the students' capability to continue improving and bettering themselves.

A tutor should, first and foremost, listen to how their student learns. In my experience, most kids who are struggling with homework, or paying attention in class, are still very capable of learning, and getting high marks, if you adapt the coursework for them. Particularly with English - and Shakespeare is the worst offender - students can…

I think it’s the empathy. I believe that no one could know everything at the beginning, even myself. So an empathetic tutor, who knows what their students are experiencing and struggling with, definitely is more inspiring and more able to help students overcome the difficulties. I can work with children with enough patience. My delivery methods…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make the student feel safe to learn. That means creating a space where they can ask questions, make mistakes, and not feel judged. A tutor should listen, be patient, and explain things in a way that makes sense to the student, not just repeat the same thing. It’s also important to build their…

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.
