To be patient and listen attentively. To observe even the minute details which help in the better focus of the student. I am an avid listener which is the most important as a tutor. I also have extreme patience in repeating myself umpteen times in case a student isn't clear about the…

Science Tutor Monash, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the student is…

I believe that creating a supportive learning environment is the most important factor. It's not just about helping them get the right answers, but also feeling capable and motivated in studing.

I think one of the most important things is friendly behaviour with students. If the tutor gets familiar with students, then students can explain their studies problem.

Mitch has been a helpful and friendly tutor. He has been able to offer specific and structured ways to improve performance in assessments and answering questions. This has improved both understanding of concepts and the ability to approach maths as a whole.

Inside GilmoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Liam focused on solving linear equations and simultaneous equations using substitution, with extra practice on expanding binomials.

Year 10 student Ava tackled boxplots and scatter plots to interpret data visually, then worked through writing and solving inequalities from worded problems.

For a Year 7 session, Ethan practiced simplifying ratios by finding common factors and revisited the BODMAS order of operations using step-by-step written examples.

Recent Challenges

Jay hadn't done any extra revision for her exam since the last session. This led to difficulty recalling older material under pressure.

In Year 12, another student often arrived without clear goals or prepared materials, making it hard to target weak areas in advanced pattern tests.

Messy formatting and incomplete working in senior algebra were also observed—one tutor wrote, "Needs to format her questions and answers a little better," which caused errors to go unnoticed until feedback was given during lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Gilmore tutor noted a big shift in a Year 10 student who started writing out steps for solving problems on cards—something she hadn't tried before—which helped her tackle tricky exam questions with less hesitation.

In another session, a Year 11 student who'd previously stayed quiet began to ask for clarification when something didn't make sense, making it easier to address gaps right away.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student, after struggling with addition last term, surprised his tutor by finishing all ten mental addition problems without using his fingers or needing reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sarah is finding the tutoring with Shabana very helpful. Sarah has has three tutoring sessions and Shabana has been explaining concepts or questions which Sarah found confusing. I really like the way Shabana interacts with Sarah and how she keeps reminding her about the importance of practising.

I am very pleased to provide feedback. Matthew has been outstanding, polite, punctual and an excellent tutor. He is an asset to your business and please pass on our commendation.

We have had a few lessons with Deanna and She seems to be very enthusiastic and keen to teach Catherine.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gilmore Primary School.
