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 things a tutor can do for a student is to give them a sense of quiet confidence; assurance that their weaknesses will become strengths with quality time and practice; and equip them with the skills of a growth mindset, so students will overcome all future learning curves. My strengths as a tutor are that I am an…

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…

While it is important that the concepts that need to be taught by the curriculum are taught, what is the most important is that the students have a strong perspective of the material in a big picture sense, so that when they think back to the concepts they've learned, they dont think about the formulas they learned, but rather what those formulas…

Tutors have to be motivators for students to learn something new, by any means. They have to be a able to deliver information in the most understandable way to their student so as to inspire them to love the process of learning. They have to check on the progress of their students consistently to make sure they are on the right track to achieve…

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

Not feed students with tons of information, instead, help them on what they are struggling with and don't treat them in a way a traditional teacher does to a student.

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.
