Abeerah
Tutor Attwood, VIC

- A new perspective on content teachers would not shine light on.
- Additional information to facilitate understanding
- Clarification on uncertain topics

Senthil Benish Shylas
Tutor Coburg, VIC
As a student myself, the important things a tutor can do for a student can provide a clear and simple explanation and help them how to break down a given problem and apply the learned concept in real-life scenarios. And, another important point to note is that every student is unique, so as a tutor, I should be able to adapt to the teaching style…

Tutor Taylors Lakes, VIC
It is never easy with studying - and different students will have their own speed of absorbing the lesson they are trying to learn. Several factors may come into play in those challenges whether it's their cognition ability, skills of their instructor, or the status of the environment where they are trying to learn. I belive a tutor can help in…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to use personalised strategies that suit the student's learning style so that they can benefit from their one-on-one lessons in a way that they don't have the opportunity to in the classroom. I also believe it is important for a tutor to understand both the strengths and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student love a subject because if this happens, the improvement will follow mechanically. A tutor should be able to make the student challenge himself and want to improve for his own sake. The tutor must also make sure that the morale of the student remains high as he should…

Be available and help them develop transferable skills.

Local Reviews
Inside GowanbraeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 7 student Adam worked through identifying prime and composite numbers, and converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions.
In Year 8, Priya focused on algebra skills including factorization and solving linear equations, as well as graphing simple linear relationships.
Meanwhile, Year 5 student Aiden practised long division with remainders and tackled adding mixed number fractions using visual aids for clarity.
Recent Challenges
Homework completion and organization presented issues across both primary and secondary levels. For example, a Year 7 student left several algebra and linear equation exercises unfinished, with notes showing "make a habit of doing homework (grade 5 and grade 7 yearly exam are given)."
In Year 8 maths, messy written work—especially in fractions and factorisation—made it hard to check steps or spot errors. As one tutor observed, "review the textbook questions that have been solved—cover up the workings and attempt again," but avoidance of reworking mistakes meant gaps persisted into new topics.
The impact was most noticeable during test preparation: confusion over missed steps slowed revision momentum.
Recent Achievements
One Gowanbrae tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 8 student's approach: after previously needing reminders to stay focused, she now independently completes her algebra and exponent exercises before the session ends.
In high school art, Louis moved from hesitating over digital tools to confidently experimenting with Photoshop for his Warhol-inspired project, even trying out new effects without prompting—he's now ahead of class milestones.
Meanwhile, Bella in Year 4, who used to rely heavily on step-by-step guidance for subtraction with borrowing, now works through problems on her own and checks her answers without being asked.
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 Glenroy Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenroy West Primary School.
