The most important thing i learned was gaining trust from the students. Unless the student doesn’t believe in you to help them they will never believe in themselves. I think i can explain really well and explain in a way where students really feel comfortable with their…
It's the capacity to come up with new approaches to assist your kids in learning. Students learn in different ways and at varying speeds.
As a student, I expect my teachers to explain things in a way that I can grasp. Unlike my university instructors, who simply read the slides and call it a class. NO! I don't teach that manner, and I don't…
I believe the most important things a tutor can do are create a safe, non-judgmental space for learning, tailor lessons to suit the student’s unique learning style and build the student’s confidence over time. I believe a good tutor doesn’t just deliver content; they actively listen, identify gaps in understanding, and provide consistent,…
I think the most important thing for a tutor is to put the student first, making sure they understand the concept and are comfortable with the tutor. Having gone to tutoring myself I always found it difficult to ask questions if the tutor was judgmental or dismissed my questions. Since I'm still a student myself I believe I understand the…
I believe that creating a healthy channel of communication between tutors and students is crucial, as it encourages students to feel comfortable asking questions, seeking clarification, and requesting general academic advice. The most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating an open and supportive learning environment,…
For every tutor, I believe that instilling confidence within the student is essential for the student to do well over time.

In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
