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 believe that a tutor should not only pass information to the student but to their best ability help the student understand the concepts and where possible how to apply the knowledge gained. During my teaching experiences what I believe to have been a helpful technique is using relatable scenarios to help build understanding especially when it…

Tutors should establish a friendly student-teacher bond which makes students comfortable and they feel safe to approach you for doubts. Failure to do so can make students feel intimidated and this can impact the teaching negatively. Tutors should also make sure that all the students in the class are following the things taught, because every…

The most important things a tutor can do are diagnose where a student is stuck, rebuild the concept from first principles, and scaffold practice until they can solve it independently. That means creating a safe, encouraging space where questions are welcomed; breaking ideas into clear, step-by-step explanations; using targeted examples and checks…

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…

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…

A tutor is basically a role model for the student. If a tutor can quickly solve anonymous problem then student can definitely be motivated and solve there sums. Additionally, Tutor should also connect with the student so that student can discuss the issues faced by them before the exam. Tutors should conduct regular test and provide quick…

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…

My focus is always on life-long learning, not just in a particular subject or area, but rather on skills and mindsets that allow the students to grow, not just in academics, but in their lives. Hence, the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to encourage and build these mindsets and approaches to learning. Definitely being patient with the…

As I said sticking with them the knowledge has been properly imparted is probably the most important thing. The other thing would be to make sure that the student is comfortable with the teaching methods and is having fun. The greatest strength that a tutor need is patience and I have had it tested a lot by my younger brother and it's fair to say…

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.
