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…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be able to understand the student and recognise what topics they understand and what they need help with. There is nothing more frustrating as a student than not understanding a topic and having a tutor or teacher repeat the same explanation over and over again. This is why it is…

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. I think I am good at being able to explain challenging concepts clearly and express them in an understandable…

To make sure that the student has actually understood what the tutor is wanting to teach or what the student is wanting to know.

My goal is to help my…

One of the most important effects a tutor can have on a student is bringing out their confidence and have their student feel supported.

They lack confidence in exams and don't exercise sufficient effort for assignments, because they…

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 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…

A tutor needs to be able to imbibe in a student, a way of thinking about things, instead of just spoonfeeding the content and making everything easy for the student. It is very important to clear the basics of the student before anything else. Once the base is strong enough, the student will be able to handle any level of complexity in things. I…

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…

The most important thing is definitely being patient and kind. A lot of people sometimes forget children/teens are not fully functioning adults yet, and they’re learning. Therefore, it’s very important to push them to the best they can do. By being indulgent and firm at the same time, I believe a tutor can get children to be their very best,…

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.
