A tutor needs to be able to guide students not only through the subject but their educational career as a whole. Tutors should be able to provide general feedback on learning as a whole to their students and should always be ready to support students particularly in harder periods such as the exam period. I have heaps of practice SACs and exams…

A tutor should be patient and identify the best way for a student to learn. Each student has a unique way of learning and understanding things, and it is up to the tutor to guide the student and motivate him/her. I excel in finding ways and techniques to solve problems and answer questions that are easy to comprehend and get used to. This enabled…

Being a constant source of confidence for the student is one of the most important aspects of a tutor. Providing the students the reassurance that they can excel is absolutely vital for when they undertake their studies in school. Often times school is the only source of maths teaching and there are not many people to consult especially if the…

A tutor should not just solve a question for a student, rather they need to supply the foundations and processes that allow a question to be broken down and solved easily. A tutor should also be able to connect to students, rather than having a purely academic relationship, the students need to feel comfortable they can ask questions and also…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to promote confidence in their learning abilities. I have found that most students have no problems in actually learning the material itself, but rather have low self-esteem in themselves which negatively impacts their learning. Once you show them that they can do the work, it…

From my past experience as a tutor I have seen many students cry over their results they've gotten from their previous test. As their tutor/mentor I consider it to be very important to let them know that it is not the end of the world and it is much more important to evaluate on their mistakes or errors that they have made on the test to achieve…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to clear the concepts. If a student knows the concept well then he/she can apply it to any problem pertaining to a particular topic. A tutor can do this by giving real world examples and discussing about the topic in general. Math is one of the most fun subjects to learn if one understands…

Help them with their growth as an overall human being, not just a student.

The most important thing I can do for a student is to permanently change the outlook a student has on a subject.

I am good at making personal connections and introducing novel ways to approach…

The most important thing a tutor can do is be there for the student. Unlike a teacher, the tutor has the luxury of being able to pace shift, and cater to the individual. Thus, taking absolute advantage of this 'power' is of the utmost importance, making sure that you, as a tutor, are meeting the needs of your student. I believe my strengths are…

The most important thing for me would be patience - to ensure that you allow your student/s time to try and follow what is being taught, and to be understanding of different strengths/levels the student is at.

The most important thing is to make an individual understand the concept of the problem rather than individual problems so that they don't feel nervous when they a similar problem is presented in front of them.

As a tutor, you can\'t approach each student as if they are the same person learning the same subject. Each individual has different weaknesses and strengths. For a tutor to recognise this fact is detrimental to ensuring the tutor can target each student\'s weaknesses effectively instead of wasting time. Having been a student myself, I know time…

In my opinion, the relationship beyond subject tutoring is the most important aspect of a tutor. A great tutor must have the ability to connect deeply with the students to give them personalised teaching methods and materials, which ultimately increase both efficiency and effectiveness in teaching. In order of doing so, a tutor must have a great…

Local Reviews

Thanh has increased my daughter's confidence in her maths ability. She has a no nonsense but fun approach that keeps a teenager positive about continuing tutoring. My daughter likes that Thanh has different methods of teaching concepts that make more sense to her. And best of all she is positive about my daughters progress.

Inside Glen WaverleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Kye worked on long multiplication with two- and three-digit numbers (including zeroes) and was introduced to division using visual strategies.

Year 7 student Elle focused on probability concepts, tackling practice questions involving multiple events and converting fractions to decimals as part of test preparation.

For Year 8, revision for Kye included rearranging algebraic equations and reviewing fundamental skills in bracket multiplication, helping consolidate methods for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to bring past tests for review, which meant missed chances to clarify recurring mistakes—"he couldn't check which algebra steps were lost in the test."

In Year 8 maths, forgetting to attempt set homework limited practice with foundational topics like BEDMAS and basic equations.

One Year 6 student often tried questions in their head without showing working; this hid errors when tackling area problems.

Across both junior and senior years, not recording confusing questions during school videos led to gaps that lingered into lessons.

Without these process tweaks, confusion quietly accumulates between sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Glen Waverley tutor noticed some great changes lately. Kye, a high school student, recently brought home his data test with 93%—a big leap after earlier trouble remembering statistics concepts, and he now checks his notes to solve new problems without prompting.

Elle, also in high school, picked up algebraic angle questions much faster than before; she's started explaining her working out aloud rather than guessing quietly.

Meanwhile, Trishelle (primary) has begun completing all her homework each week on her own initiative and points out exactly which maths areas still worry her before starting new tasks.

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 Glen Waverley Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glen Waverley Secondary College.
