Tutors in Holmesglen include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
I believe a tutor should first understand the importance and value of their role in student's life. I promise on coming to tutorials with preparation, listening to students queries and being ready to provide them all the extra help they need to reach the goal. A great tutor can be a role model to a student, so I will always cherish that and play…
It is one thing to help someone get the correct answer, but it is another thing to change student’s outlook. A positive and confident outlook will increase engagement, which means that the student is more likely to start having success even when the tutor is not present. This is my most important task as a tutor, because it builds independence…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them realise the small learning mistakes commonly made that in my opinion are not useful further in life. Namely, learning my heart or just memorising to blurt out a concept without understanding its core only to score good grades. A Tutor should be able to make the student understand…
The most important thing is to keep calm and listen to them. As a tutor you can never lose your calm irrespective of how many times your student makes the same mistake. You might have to repeat yourself hundreds of times, but that shouldn't be a problem. It is important to understand their questions and respond to them accordingly. It is also…
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is tailor their teaching to the individual. Outside of a large class of students it becomes easier to change a lesson to suit a particular student, spending more time on a point when a student is struggling with it and ensuring that a topic is perfectly understood before moving on. I think…
In my personal opinion and experience, having an informal connection with the student alongside being their tutor is extremely beneficial as they are able to clearly and more freely express their opinions related to studies and also helps the tutor in gaining insight into their learning styles. As a tutor, I utilize my leadership and communication…
Each student has a unique way of thinking, understanding and implementing. The most important thing a tutor can do is to understand how their students minds work, adapt to their way of thinking and understanding, and conceptualize theory for beneficial implementation. I once was a student and understand the importance of understanding a subject…
By far the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make sure they have a strong base knowledge of the subject by explaining and approaching ideas in ways that they understand and can use practically. My knowledge of the subject matter (maths and physics) is excellent and I\'ve seen and used a number of different teaching methods in my…
I feel the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them patient, let them know that it is okay to make mistakes and encourage them to continue to learn and practice in order to master a skill. A can-do attitude is the most important thing a tutor can teach. I myself used to learn concepts in a way that were not theoretical but…
A tutor can show the beauty of the subject and make the student love the subject. Once that happens, the student can excel not only in that subject, but can also approach everything in life with confidence and aptitude. I love teaching - That would be my greatest strength. I am really good at it & experienced.
I have always had a good bonding…
Making sure they actually understand the questions and concepts, rather than knowing how to get the right answer without any knowledge of the process. I can explain the concepts and ways to tackle questions in the simplest terms for a student to fully…
A tutor can develop a passion of learning in a student so that a student can learn and grow even when the teacher is with the student or not. Its similar to teach a person how to fish instead giving them fish to eat. If student learn how to learn on their own, how to solve problems, and what should be the approach to a problem then it is more than…
1. Helping the students to regain their faith and passion

I am an effective communicator and get on well with…
To inspire them to think, wonder and understand. At the end of the day, all the work in the learning process is done by the student, my main goal as a tutor is to get them started in such process, to catalyse the natural drive we all have to understand the world around us. I always aim to be enthusiastic, patient and empathetic, trying to…
A tutor must be able to understand the student first, and according to the student, he should be able to change and adapt to the current situation and respond according to the needs of the students, rather than having a constant set of rules or agenda to the way of teaching. I am good at demonstrating concepts in my own way, rather than going in a…
In my opinion, a tutor should create personalized learning plan tailored to the student's unique needs, fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. They should provide consistent feedback, helping students identify their strengths and areas for improvement. A tutor should also teach essential study skills and learning strategies for…
Most important thing would be empathy. A tutor has to put himself/herself in the shoes of the student. Knowing the material in great detail is half the battle won. You also need to have patience and cannot expect all students to have the same speed in learning things. It takes time to build concepts. Brick by brick. You cannot build a wall in one…
The best thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand the student's academic needs and address them in a very professional way. Most of the times, teachers and tutors don't listen to the problems of the individuals in their class and hence those problems often remain unsolved.
In my point of view, every student has potential and a…
I believe leadership is an extremely necessary quality in a role as a tutor and academic mentor. Especially important is leading by example, and demonstrating an enthusiasm to perform well and try your best in academia. Academically my strengths lie in maths and science, but most importantly I am an avid student and enthusiastic learner, and I…
A tutor should be patient and engaging with the student to maintain a good learning atmosphere where the student can question even the slightest of misunderstandings in any concept or question of a certain subject. Moreover, being flexible with timings can also be very important for a student as they will be focusing on other subjects as well.…
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.

Thank you for your follow up email. I think Daniel has done a great job connecting with Anthony. Hopefully Anthony will gain some confidence with his maths.
Thanks for your follow up. All seems to be going well so far . Anthony seems quite comfortable with Max and I think a little more confident . Of course it's still early days so we will assess his progress again soon.
Cassie is great!
Ashley is already showing improvement in class and is happy with Cassie as she is easy to understand and can relate to her well.
