The most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to allow their minds to create their own version of knowledge rather than just gaining a pre-existing idea.It's only when we challenge the students to think out of the box that they actually start realising the importance of what was in the box. Giving them a vivid imagination can be a…

Tutoring can help strengthen subject comprehension, boost confidence, and build important learning skills. Tutoring gives students individualized attention that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence to be an independent learner. I want students to gradually build their skills and knowledge to not feel like they need assistance all of the time or that they just can't do it. I see tutoring as also being a coaching or mentoring role as well as your not just…

In my opinion, the relationship beyond subject tutoring is the most important aspect of a tutor. A great tutor must have the ability to connect deeply with the students to give them personalised teaching methods and materials, which ultimately increase both efficiency and effectiveness in teaching. In order of doing so, a tutor must have a great…

Understanding what they understand and don't. If you don't adapt accordingly, not only will it take longer, but even if you can help them understand, you won't foster a sense of confidence in the student for further studies. Adaptability and a deeper understanding of the subject matter I'm teaching, which lets me approach problems from different…

I find it important for students to know and feel that their individual needs are heard, understood and attended to. It would be most important to follow through all plans, tailored to their needs, with actions that allow the students to realise their progress. By also validating their strengths and identifying their self-limiting beliefs, I…

Allowing students to become independent thinkers and restorning their self confidence is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student.

I think that the tutor acts as a mentor for the student. In this role, the tutor should encourage the students to think critically in order to find answers to their questions. By providing the means to discover the answers for themselves, the tutor ensures that the student does not merely address the 'what' of the question but is also able to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient with them.

Because not every student learns the same way or comes from the same background of experience and understanding it is vital that a tutor establishes their student’s position before commencing with any tutoring.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is allowing that student to gain an appreciation for the subject area they are studying.

Inside HeathmontTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Mia focused on mastering multiplication facts with a times tables grid and worked through several practice questions on long division, including problems with decimals.

Year 7 student Jack revised percentages by calculating discounts and converting between fractions and percentages, then practiced financial maths skills such as finding profit and understanding rates of pay.

For Year 8, Ella concentrated on algebraic techniques for solving linear equations and revisited BIDMAS (order of operations) using step-by-step examples to prepare for an upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student often avoided writing full working, especially when solving for x—this led to confusion with negative signs and extra time spent fixing errors rather than progressing ("needs to improve writing down working out").

In Year 11 English, notes showed that missed classes weren't always followed up; "definitely write those notes up for the missed class on quadrilaterals so we can follow up and make up the missed work."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to show division steps out of concern for mistakes. As a result, accuracy wavered during multi-step problems and confidence dipped mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Heathmont tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who had always hesitated to ask for help; during recent sessions, she started checking her logic out loud and clarifying steps, instead of quietly guessing.

In Year 8 maths, another student finally broke through on algebra: after weeks of confusion with expanding and simplifying expressions, he solved several equations independently and even explained his process back.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who used to rush worded problems began underlining key information before working—leading her to solve all division questions correctly 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 Realm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Great Ryrie Primary School.
