Being open and enthusiastic, I believe are very important traits in a tutor. You want to help your student tackle tasks confidently and motivate them that they can do the work. I am very friendly and approachable and I believe that learning should be fun and engaging. Every student is different and learns in different ways and I am committed to…

A tutor shouldn't be the individual who would only be associated with studies and stuff. A tutor should be someone to whom a student can approach with any sorts of problem with the expectation that their tutor can find a solution to it. Moreover, a tutor should be a guiding light to the student. - Communication - Experience -…

Help them gain confidence, and for them to do the best they can. Students that require tutoring are often ones that lack confidence in a subject area. Tutors are there to strengthen and encourage them. Breaking down difficult concepts and passing on my knowledge to students. Also, finding where a student has difficulty and working with them to…

I believe that the main role for a tutor in terms of helping a student is being able to cover certain topics or answer certain questions that the student may not have fully understood at school, and to also summarize any new topics learned during the day. Though I have not begun tutoring yet, I would like to say that my strengths would be my…

I believe that the capacity to build strong, personal relationships with their students can inspire them to work to the best of their ability and succeed. Moreover, this also allows the tutor to more easily recognise the student's strengths and weaknesses and adapt to whatever they may need best. I am a very adaptable person that can shift my…

A tutor helps a student understand a topic, learn a skill, complete tasks, get better grades, and achieve high standards in general. A tutor can also help a student find their strengths and shortcomings, find opportunities and experiences, and become proactive and a better human being. I give effort. I give quality time to my students to learn and…

I would say understanding student's problem is the most important to help a student. Student's problem can be in the subject matter itself, or way the subject is delivered. Some may prefer more theory in the beginning, and some may prefer tutorial way of learning. So, tutoring should be tailor-made to a student for best learning experience. As a…

Inside HillsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Stefan focused on ordering decimals from largest to smallest and explored decimal place value using hands-on number line activities.

In Year 9, Alice tackled Pythagoras' theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions involving indices, reinforcing concepts with worked examples.

For Year 12, Chatwell discussed plans for her final year and received support on General Mathematics content, including a few targeted questions and guidance on upcoming Business Management materials.

Recent Challenges

Several secondary students showed difficulty organizing their written work in mathematics, particularly with algebra and calculus.

For example, one Year 11 student omitted intermediate steps when simplifying fractions, leading to arithmetic errors—"as a tutor noted, he didn't separate the numerator's terms before dividing by h."

In VCE exam practice, another student's performance dropped under time pressure; missing final answers or not boxing them made solutions unclear to assessors.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student frequently confused (x,y) for (y,x) in coordinate geometry tasks, causing repeated mix-ups during reflections. These habits resulted in avoidable mistakes and extra time spent clarifying working.

Recent Achievements

One Hillside tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate asking for help now clearly identifies when she's stuck and actively seeks guidance, especially with paragraph structure in English.

In Year 12 maths, another student began tackling calculus problems independently—last week, he solved a tricky differentiation question on his own after only needing a reminder about the product rule.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has started correcting her own mistakes during multiplication exercises without prompting, showing much more persistence than before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Liam is now achieving an A for Maths - (previously getting a D!!!) Calvin is a delightful member of your team and he related really well with Liam.

Both my sons, were tutored by Adam. We were very happy with his work. John has now finished school and is in his second year at University where he doing very well. We stopped seeing Adam when Paul started to get A+ marks in Maths and did not require extra support. Paul will finish Year 12 this year and we are told by his school that he should receive excellent marks. We were impressed with the communication between ourselves and your team.

Patrick is a wonderful asset to your company.  It pleases me so much that Patrick has a wonderful understanding of my Son capabilities with in only 5 lessons. Thank you for sending Patrick to us.

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 Sydenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sydenham - Hillside Primary School-Hillside Campus.
