I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to be patient and understanding while the child is trying their best to understand the subject. I also believe it is very important to be adaptable to each individual students needs, otherwise they will never be able to learn. I have always had a passion for teaching and have…

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,…

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. I strongly believe a good tutor must be able to explain complicated concepts in a way that 'makes sense'…

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…

Show the student how manageable getting good grades in a subject really is and how capable they are of doing so. Often students may think that a subject is really hard to do well in or they are not good enough, but it’s just a matter of learning things the correct way and putting in the hours and then they will see it’s not actually as hard as…

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

Being patient is definitely important as many students won't understand concepts the first time around and also making sure you are attentive to each student's own strengths and weaknesses to be able to guide them in the best way possible.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them improve, not only academically but also as an individual.

My goal is to help my…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is bring him to enjoy the subject he is learning.

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 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 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.

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.
