Tutor Fitzroy, VIC
In my personal opinion, the most important thing any kind of teacher can do for their student, is help them discover an expression of self in the subject. One may think this is quite impossible in the more technically oriented subjects, but I find that every branch of learning holds the potential for an expression of self. I am patient while…

Positive reinforcement is very important. As mentioned, tutoring the students through the small digestible bits and giving them reaffirmation along the journey is very important in establishing confidence on which we can build on.

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.

Give them confidence that they can succeed. I believe with that with the right mindset almost anyone can succeed. Often students just lack confidence in their abilities which results in less effort in the unit and thus worse results. I am passionate about what I do. I care about my job and the students I tutor. I want them to do well and I think…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make a student feel genuinely safe and unembarrassed about not knowing something. Once that pressure is gone, they’re actually able to think, ask questions, and learn. A good tutor also pays attention to how a student thinks - not just what they get wrong - and adjusts the explanation to fit…

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…

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.
