As a tutor, you can\'t approach each student as if they are the same person learning the same subject. Each individual has different weaknesses and strengths. For a tutor to recognise this fact is detrimental to ensuring the tutor can target each student\'s weaknesses effectively instead of wasting time. Having been a student myself, I know time…

In my opinion, a tutor is able to change the perspective of a student towards a particular subject completely. It is true that in the end, it's the student's effort that makes them perform well but on the other hand, a tutor can make the student put in the effort, and make the student enjoy what he is studying. I know that I can get through to…

I think developing a friendly relationship is one of the most important things a tutor can do. By doing this, students feel more confident and happy to truly engage with their tutor, ask any questions they possibly could have, which I think ultimately leads to better learning. I have a real passion for STEM subjects (especially Math methods and…

I believe one of the most vital things that tutors can do is alter their teaching type based on different students' abilities and progression over time. I think this helps differentiate tutoring from normal schooling as normal schooling is generalised for all students and doesn't cater for individual students' strengths and weaknesses. I believe…

A tutor should be a role model for a student and that's not just in the area of maths but also in terms of attitude and behaviour. A tutor may also act as a friend or a mentor, dealing with some issues that are outside of maths e.g. school work. Ultimately a tutor is paid to help the student improve/get good grades in maths. My strengths lie in…

1. The tutor should be open minded and let the student show any problems in their homework or tests etc. 2. I can be assertive, but not authoritative.

Naturally, a tutor's main priority is to provide profound and thorough knowledge through clear communication.

Build their self confidence and the ability to be self sufficient. Mindset and attitude plays the most vital role to success in life.

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.
