Help and guide them in reaching their goals. Understanding the subject instead of scoring marks by byhearting. Support them not only in the subject knowledge but also in their social life. Actually a teacher should be like a second parent and a friend to the students. I am good at accessing the strengths and weakness of students and adjust the…

Help him or her to find their own ways to study most efficiently. Give them the tools, which would allow them to be more confident and comfortable in their learning not only at school, but also beyond. Good knowledge of my subjects and belief that math and science need the same systematic training to become easy, as sports. And that as only some…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student feel confident in their own abilities. Learning can be tough, and sometimes all a student needs is someone to break things down in a way that makes sense to them and encourage them along the way. It’s also important to create a space where they feel comfortable asking questions…

Not assumer everyone is the same. Everybody's brains work differently so there is no point in trying to teach everyone in the same way. It is so important to establish how you can be most helpful to each student individually, by listening to what they are saying and working with them in a more personalised way. I feel that I can quite quickly…

Being patient with students who may be really struggling to understand a concept or question, as a tutor it can be frustrating when a student isn’t getting something that you think is quite simple. However you have to remember back when you where first learning the concept and how complex it seemed back then, so it’s most important to view the…

Firstly, patience is essential for a tutor to enable the student to ask as many questions as necessary and ask for guidance when they are unsure. Furthermore, as a tutor, I believe that I should not always give the answer straight away if the student is unsure but rather explain the concepts in a different way to allow the student to come to the…

The tutor should always guide the student to do their lessons with minimum errors and time. So without remembering everything in the mind, they should have to focus the subject with the practical knowledge. Good communication and mentoring skills what I have earned in my last job.

I think that one of the most important things is to really work with the student. A big reason that people come to tutors outside of school is because of the fact that they need more individually catered style of teaching as the one their teacher isn’t working. Due to this, targeting your teaching approach to the individual students needs is…

I consider confidence building to be a priority for a tutor. If a student is not confident in their own abilities, they will not be able to grow as a learner and eventually take on the more challenging problems themselves. A pivotal element in building confidence in students is creating a friendly and welcoming environment in which they can reach…

Establishing their fundamentals of concepts before moving on to content that is derived from said concepts. Additionally, also exposing them to questions that really make the subject interesting.

Inside HawthornTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily worked on fraction operations and consolidating her multiplication tables, using hands-on practice for both.

In Year 10, Matt focused on embedding quotes effectively in English essays about 'The Golden Age' and practiced planning analytical responses to prompts using graphic organisers.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam tackled quadratic equations by completing the square and applied the elimination method to solve simultaneous equations, also revisiting basic trigonometry concepts like SOH CAH TOA.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student showed inconsistent completion of assigned homework for English SAC revision, which limited the depth of written feedback and skill consolidation; as a tutor noted, "Matt needs to improve completing his assigned homework tasks."

In VCE English, reliance on brief plans rather than detailed mindmaps or highlighting led to weaker essay introductions and difficulty embedding evidence.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 maths student struggled with structuring working in fraction questions—"more practice is needed on fractions," the notes recorded—which slowed progress and sometimes hid small calculation errors.

Missed homework meant extra class time spent reviewing old ground instead of advancing skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hawthorn noticed that Matt, a Year 11 English student, now completes all assigned homework ahead of lessons and brings thoughtful ideas to each session. He's even started using planning tables and flash cards on his own, which wasn't the case before.

In senior maths, Will has become much more independent with graphing linear relations; he used to need step-by-step support but recently translated equations into graphs without prompting.

Meanwhile, Ziggy (Year 8) showed a big shift by reading scenes from a play aloud with expression and then volunteering his interpretation of the characters' motives.

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 City of Boroondara Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hawthorn West Primary School.
