The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be able to understand the student and recognise what topics they understand and what they need help with. There is nothing more frustrating as a student than not understanding a topic and having a tutor or teacher repeat the same explanation over and over again. This is why it is…

Personally, I feel the most important thing for a tutor is patience to teach as well as learn from students. Not everyone has the skill to be patient enough to make sure that a concept is clear , nor the effort to make it clear by teaching until the student understands I do not have much experiences in teaching, however I enjoy and love teaching…

I think most importantly a tutor should teach the student how to learn. Other than having a passion and knowledge of the material; I think it's also important to be a good listener and be able to pick up whether the student really understands, tailoring your approach to the student. My main weaknesses are my limited experience in tutoring and…

I think it is extremely important for a tutor to be patient with the student at all times. It's also important to reassure the student at times that what they are learning is difficult to pick up and they won't learn it right away. It's also important for the tutor to give the student a plan of action on how they can get better and achieve their…

To make learning fun and stress free. The student is coming to you for help. they don't want to be pressured too much and you have to show that what you are tutoring is interesting.

In my opinion, the tutor must be able to make ideas more basic for the student, which is the most effective way to teach someone. You can’t teach someone rocket science if they can’t do linear equations, so first teach them linear equations. Also often a student has an easier way of understanding than a teacher has given them, and so it helps…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to be someone that can focus on just them (1-on-1), where a teacher cannot, and to find a specific way to teach them based on the students needs (i.e. How the student learns best?). A teacher is unable to do this as much as they have many students to focus on. But tutors can…

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…

An effective tutor should help the student learn concepts through understanding, rather than ROTE learning. A tutor should help their students develop a solid foundational understanding and how they relate to one another, in order to effectively apply information.

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.
