The most important thing that a tutor can do is to understand their students and modify their teaching according to their learning capacity. A tutor doesn't need to use fancy language - what matters is that they are able to educate their students - the basic concepts in the most simple way, so that they are able to connect it with their life and…

I think having a good personality is the most important thing as a tutor. This is because an educator is supposed to be patient, calm and helpful in front of his/her students. If he/she can't do that, he/she will always be in arguments with the students and thus mutual trusts between them will be lost. I think I have a good academic backgrounds…

This question need to be discussed into two solutions. First, for the lower grade student, it is essential for them to build up their interest towards maths, which will help them to be better off in the future. On the other hand, for the student who are preparing for their VCE, the tutor should focus more how to improve their grade in order to get…

In my opinion, the most important quality of a tutor is flexibility. While the concepts are the same, our teaching methods, the way we deliver it to each students differs. We need to cater for each student's need and ability. The ultimate goal is to inspire the students and initiate them to challenge themselves. Since I've once struggled with…

My son can't wait to have his maths lessons with his tutor every week! She is helping him learn through wonderful and fun ways!

Inside Heidelberg WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Olivia focused on factorising algebraic expressions and substitution in more complex equations to build confidence with foundational algebra skills.

In Year 9, Jacob practised graphing parabolas as well as substituting values into quadratic functions, using worked examples for clarity.

For Year 10, Sam concentrated on solving linear equations and revisited core trigonometric ratios—sine, cosine, and tangent to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often forgot to bring her maths textbook, which meant gaps in reviewing problem areas and "she needed to bring her maths books so I could see what she had struggled with this week."

In a senior class, one student ran out of time during an exam; as the tutor put it, "he missed some simple errors" because he didn't check answers before submitting.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's algebra work was messy and hard to follow—incorrect values crept in when calculations weren't clearly laid out.

Distraction in English led another student to guess answers without reading passages closely.

Recent Achievements

One Heidelberg West tutor noticed Kiera now tackles more complex maths problems without hesitation—just weeks ago she'd often wait for reassurance before starting.

In Year 8, Ollie moved from making frequent mistakes in timed tests to using a standard formula they developed together for negative indices, helping him answer these questions independently and with fewer errors.

Meanwhile, Felix in primary school has shifted from being distracted during class to focusing well enough to score 8/8 on his fractions test after struggling with this topic earlier; he completed all the questions accurately on his own.

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 Ivanhoe Library & Cultural Hub—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Pius X School.
