believe that being emotionally present for students is just as important as helping them academically. A student’s emotional state can significantly impact how well they learn and engage with the material. By creating a supportive and understanding environment, I help students feel more confident, less anxious, and more open to learning.…

The most important thing that I think a tutor can do for a student is to help them find the field they are really interested in. Besides academic learning, a tutor should discover the student's hobbies and support them, guiding them in the correct way. I believe education is not filling the pail but lighting the fire. The tutor has to build…

I think the most important would definitely be creating a connection with the students so that they feel comfortable around the tutor. This helps them love studying and also comfortable in asking doubts to the tutor. I think my biggest strength as a tutor is definitely my patience. I can patiently explain the same concepts to my students…

I believe it's being patient and treating every question equally. When I was in high school, I loved explaining math problems to my classmates. For math problems, I think there is no such thing as easy or difficult; the only difference is knowing how to solve it or not, so one should teach people until they understand it and can solve similar…

Build confidence, so that even when a student gets stuck with a difficult question or problem, like in an exam, they'll have a go rather than hit a wall.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is creating a safe environment during the session in which the student is not scared of asking questions, making mistakes or feels external pressures that might not let them give their best.

I think as a tutor, if i manage to teach them the subject i am trying to teach and they completely understand the thing, i would be very proud of myself. It is very important as a tutor to know that the student has completely understood the current subject. I have a lot of patience. So i do not mind children asking me the same questions again and…

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, mentally (on an academic level) and emotionally. This includes ensuring that the student actually comprehends the work - rather than just saying so. Just as importantly, a tutor must be able to emotionally support the student, making sure they are comfortable enough to voice their…

I consider being patient and maintaining a positive attitude to be the most significant as Math can be a challenging subject for many students, so being patient and understanding helps explain concepts multiple times and in different ways if necessary.

I think it is important to build confidence for students because there are some students that lack confidence because they are behind. Furthermore, creating a supportive, learning environment is equally important. Although academic improvement is a key goal, being in an approachable and supportive environment allows students to be more willing to…

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…

Being able to make a good connection so that the student feels calm and relaxed and at the same time…

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.
