Firstly, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to what the student believes they need to work on and aid them with that. The student needs are the highest priority and it is important they feel heard and listened to. Additionally, I believe that it’s important that we as tutors take the time to acquire extra…

A tutor should be a mentor for a student, and no student should leave a classroom without having learned more from when they entered. Progress is progress, and should be encouraged and applauded when seen in students. I hold a strong passion for the subjects I teach, and am able to take complicated information and disseminate it into bite sized,…

Be a calming presence. Learning something is difficult, and there is enough pressure and competition at school already.

I believe a tutor should be able to foster a passion for the subject in the student and make it engaging and interesting.

I believe I’m receptive and patient. As…

To actually be committed to helping the student and genuinely wanting to help the student is most important in my opinion.

I met a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is teach a student how to teach themselves and be self sufficient.

When tutoring I believe my experience…

Of course, as a tutor it is important to help your students learn as many concepts as possible and to teach them new things. But I believe that showing them new ways to learn and absorb information is just as crucial, as this benefits students by not just helping them achieve higher grades, but also giving them skills that they can take with them…

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.
