Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

A tutor has the opportunity to encourage confidence in students. Not solely confidence that they can achieve highly, but confidence that they can give anything a go and learn and improve as they do. A tutor can present things in an engaging way to encourage the student to be open-minded to things they may have discounted because they seem…

I think that the most important thing a tutor must do for a student is to make the student’s learning experience to be enjoyable and productive, where results of their hard work is clearly shown.

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns. Without this ability to change as necessary you are putting your students at a significant disadvantage. Breaking down complex concepts into simple ideas. Creating a comfortable learning environment where…

A student approaches a tutor outside school just so they can understand the subject in a better way. As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can do for my students is to make them trust in me and eventually the subject because only then they would put in efforts to overcome their difficulties. As a tutor, I am responsible enough to…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student is treating them like a friend, making them realize the importance of education to the students like them, and making them aware about the competition that is to be faced by them when they pursue their future goals.

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

The most important thing a tutor can do is focus on the specific needs of the student, identify areas of weakness, and tailor the teaching approach accordingly.

Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.

Inside GreenhillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alyssia focused on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators, then practised creative writing using commas and exclamation points.

In Year 9, James revised coordinate geometry by graphing points in different quadrants and determining if given points lie on specific lines.

For Year 11 Chemistry, Alyssia tackled titration calculations by applying molar ratios and rearranging n = m/M and C Ă— V equations to solve practical problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student's session highlighted ongoing challenges with handwriting—mid-sentence capital letters and rambling sentences made their work hard to follow, sometimes causing ideas to get lost.

In a Year 10 algebra lesson, the tutor observed: "He preferred to look at what he'd already done rather than try new questions," revealing an over-reliance on prior answers instead of attempting unfamiliar problems.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student repeatedly referenced formulas instead of applying concepts independently during multi-step calculations; this slowed progress when adapting methods to new types of exam questions. The hesitation lingered even as test deadlines approached.

Recent Achievements

One Greenhill tutor noticed that Oscar, a Year 5 student who previously hesitated with fractions, was able to work through fraction problems almost independently this week and started using commas correctly to separate ideas in his writing after reminders.

In a recent high school session, Alyssia showed real progress in chemistry: after needing step-by-step support with titration equations at first, she completed mixed-ratio questions entirely on her own by the end of the lesson.

Meanwhile, Lucy, also in high school, demonstrated new initiative by identifying her weak points in statistics and tackling practice questions with far less reliance on previous examples than before.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
