I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them want to study a topic, to present a topic in a certain way that makes the student more enthusiastic to learn. Although understanding a subject is extremely important, I believe the students' willingness to learn is equally important as trying to teach a student to…

From my experience, one of the most important thing I can do is finding out the weakness of students and helping them overcome that weakness instead of letting them away from it. Tutors should be honest, too when there is the question that we do not know. Last but not least, tutors should help students build confidence and give support as much as…

A good tutor needs to understand the student's needs and areas of weakness and work on them. A tutor can engage more in helping the student understand specific concepts and make the environment of teaching interesting. The teaching environment can be made interesting by giving the students a reason to learn the concepts and showing real-world…

I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

As a tutor, it is very important that the teacher becomes an inspiration to the student.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is pose as their mentor than just a teacher. By doing this, a student will feel safe, and empowered; this in turn will make them learn better. Moreover, it is important for a tutor to build their confidence. It is essential to build on the weak areas of a student. Additionally, a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to put in time. They need to act as if it's not just a job which pays. Prepping lessons early, helping with questions outside of tutoring time, marking tests.

In addition, it allows…

To reassure them that having a tutor and needing a bit of extra help is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover than learning the tasks, helping them feel they're capable of more than they think they are.

I think the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable asking questions. A tutor should focus on understanding where the student is getting stuck and help them build confidence, not just give answers. I'm patient and I don't rush students. If something doesn't click the first time, I'm happy to explain it again in a different way.…

According to me, the most important thing as a tutor is to try and try until the student understands, although it takes a lot of patience and time. It is also important to explore the student's best way of learning, which may include audio, visual, or kinesthetic, and make efforts to teach them accordingly. As a tutor, I first make my students…

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 × 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.
