In my opinion, it is important to teach children in simple ways so that they can understand even the complex and difficult concepts. It is also important to understand questions asked by students and give appropriate answers to their questions. Students need to be acknowledged and respected. As a tutor, I am a patient person and a good listener. I…

I truely believe that the most important thing as a tutor is being there for your students. You not only have to give your best to help them you should also be a person of trust for them.

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to accompany and motivate them while facilitating their learning. However, it's ultimately the student who holds the power to improve. I believe tutoring is a form of coaching, and I also think that, at times, the student has much to teach the tutor. It's a collaborative…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Mina is a very helpful teacher who has allowed me to regain confidence. There are times when I do get stuck on some topics, but Mina will know when I need help and she will focus on that topic a bit more. She gives me a wide range of different questions which prepare me for my tests. Her work ethic is an extra bonus which allows me to feel more motivated about maths and makes me feel more confident in harder areas. I recommend Mina to anyone who is looking for a kind and positive teacher who builds up confidence and knowledge. Mina is a hard worker and doesn't put her students down and encourages them even when they aren't understanding the topic.

At this point, we are happy with the way things are progressing. Ryan seems a bright and capable young man and Kirsten does feel the sessions are assisting her.

We have been very happy with Matthew and importantly, Xavier has worked well with Matthew and has found the tutoring beneficial.

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.
