My strengths as a tutor are that I am an…

The most important thing as tutor can do is never leave the student specially in the needy times. If everything is difficult, the teacher should make a way to lighten the situation. Setting goals are very important as to assess the student's performance. I don't make the learning situation too heavy. The ability to learn is not restricted by how…

I think the most important things are to build confidence and make the subject relevant. This goes beyond just explaining problems.

I know from my…

I believe that a tutor plays an incredible different role to the classroom teacher. Being a role that has one-on-one interaction with a student, a tutor's most important thing is to focus their practice and method to the individual characteristics of the student. An example of this could be having activities with high intensity and movement for…

Inside Highgate HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Tahlia focused on integrating trigonometric functions and evaluating sine and cosine at various angles, then practiced applying general rules for integration and explored 'integration by recognition' using past exam-style questions.

For Year 10, Olivia worked through index laws, simultaneous equations, and Pythagoras' theorem via targeted problem sets from a practice exam sheet.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Henry tackled surface area calculations for prisms and applied the Pythagorean theorem to measurement problems directly linked to his homework tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student tended to "rush getting through problems," leading to incomplete understanding of methods and less clarity in answers—this became apparent during algebra practice.

For a Year 12 physics assignment, another student struggled to translate graphical information into written analysis; not all details were clearly explained in the report.

In multiple senior math sessions, back checking work for small errors was missed—one tutor noted, "she almost solved the question perfectly but simply made small algebraic errors." Without this habit, time was spent fixing avoidable mistakes rather than tackling more advanced problems or exam strategies.

Recent Achievements

A Highgate Hill tutor recently noticed Tahlia, a senior student, taking charge of her physics experimental report—she not only analysed her results thoroughly but also explained the experiment's limitations independently, something she previously struggled to articulate.

In another session, Lauren in Year 11 tackled advanced trigonometric graphing: after guided practice, she could identify all key parameters from a graph and sketch transformations herself rather than waiting for step-by-step help.

Meanwhile, Ella, who'd changed schools mid-term, asked directly for a refresher on missed maths content instead of passively sitting through confusion; by lesson's end she was confidently solving problems again.

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 West End Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Laurence's College.
