I believe patience, resilience, and the ability to think fast to generate alternate ways to regain the student's focus, particularly if they are on the younger side. Aside from paying attention to the student's attention span, more importantly, a tutor should be prepared on going about different routes to ensure understanding of course content and…

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…

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.

Having an encouraging and friendly attitude is also extremely important to provide a supportive atmosphere where students feel comfortable. I’m a very patient individual…

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.

I feel the most common issue holding students back is a lack of confidence on their own ability to complete their work to a level they would find satisfactory. I feel then as a tutor it is most important that I help to develop a sense of proficiency within the student, at which point they will be better able to learn new content and apply it. I…

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 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…

In my opinion, the two most important skills for tutoring are patience and positivity. As the ability to remain calm and respectful, and having a positive attitude can make the difference between a motivated student and an unmotivated student.

First and foremost I think that is having patience. People do not all learn in the same way and as I mentioned before, when teaching somebody, half the job is just figuring out the best way to frame it, something which requires patience and perseverance. What is also important as a tutor is not just telling students what they need to know, but…

I think the most important things are to build confidence and make the subject relevant. This goes beyond just explaining problems. It is important that a tutor can transform a student's mindset from "I'm bad at this" to "I can figure this out." It's about being a mentor who helps them trust their own ability to solve problems. I know from my…

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

So far Adriana has only had the 2 lessons because Aathi had to cancel an appointment and we couldn't have a lesson this past Monday because of school holidays so this Monday we're having 2 lessons to try and catch up . Adriana absolutely loves Aathi which surprised me because she hates maths but he's won her over already so I have a good feeling about this. thankyou

We are very happy with Anh and her tutoring of Lana.  We are taking a break over the school holidays and public holiday but will be back into it in a couple of weeks. Anh was very generous with her time leading up to Lana's last exam and although not anticipated given the short lead up time, her results improved. It's been a great decision for us to set the foundations for Lana with senior maths.

Afra has met with Jasmine once so far as we have had the holidays. I think it went really well and Jasmine is actually looking froward to her next lesson this Saturday.

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.
