Most importantly, putting time and efforts after students till their basics are clear is the key for a tutor to use. After clearing the basics, revising and revisiting the already done work is equally important. Having had experience in tutoring, patience is my strength. I think self motivation and hard work are the key to success while mentoring…

Similar to my strengths, I think a tutor needs to be flexible and patient with any and every student that they teach. A stubborn tutor that doesn't try to adapt to each student's personal needs or preferences won't be effective in their teaching, and a similar result follows for an impatient tutor. Additionally, any tutor should have a large bank…

I think the most important is to be supportive, from experience the reason that most people struggle with learning is because they give up or don’t think they can.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the one-on-one attention that is not given to them in schools with large class sizes.

The most important thing of a tutor in my opinion is to foster genuine passion for learning for the students.

Passion to help students, I…

Give them a safe space to ask questions and learn in a way they enjoy and are progressing in. There is no point in being over qualified and intelligent, but unapproachable and closed off. To truly understand a topic, you have to be able to explain it in a way that anyone could understand. I believe the most important thing you can do as a tutor is…

Inside Hawthorn EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Jaidan reviewed all operations with fractions—including multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction—by working through exercises from his textbook.

Year 8 Isabella focused on graphing linear functions and calculating gradients, including a quick online discussion to clarify concepts while recovering from illness.

For Year 10 Ethan, the session addressed probability notation and diagrams along with set theory basics, using simple examples to build understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student often rushed through working without writing steps, particularly in algebra and negative numbers; as a tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 11 methods, another found it challenging to keep track of brackets and correct notation when sketching graphs or working with power functions—missing these details led to confusion during revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student's long division answers became muddled because steps weren't clearly set out on paper. This meant extra time was spent searching for small mistakes instead of building new understanding.

Recent Achievements

One Hawthorn East tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling with structuring extended answers in maths, now independently organises solutions and adapts quickly between topics like indices and algebraic equations.

A Year 10 student showed a real shift by reviewing errors from a recent test and then accurately applying Pythagoras' theorem during follow-up questions—something he hesitated with before.

In primary sessions, a younger learner who had difficulty telling time last month is now confidently drawing clock faces for set times and uses visual strategies to solve division problems without prompting.

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 Camberwell Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Camberwell Primary School.
