The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them understand their work, to the point where, with the tutor, the student would is better off, than without the tutor. I strive to make the student as confident as possible in the subject even if it is not their favourite. My strengths as a tutor would include being able to engage…

Being patient - Different students have different learning abilities. It is vital to have a tutor that is extremely patient, and trials different ways of explaining a concept to their students. Being resilient - Not giving up a student if he/she is not making progress, understanding that learning is a long journey. Different students will make…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student would probably be helping the student to exceed their academic potential by guiding them through topics and further supplying them with non-routine questions that will push their limits in knowledge and excel in the future. Furthermore, I believe another important thing a tutor can do for a…

The most important thing that tutors can do is providing them the knowledge beyond schools can give, exposing them to hands-on classes, making sure that they see studying as enjoyable, not a burden. Also, I think developing a teacher-student relationship is also important as we can have little understanding to their wellbeing and care for them.…

From my experience I noticed that there are students who still hold their voices at school when they have a doubt due to several factors. Once they are comfortable with a tutor, they are more open to questions in their mind and try solving them one on one with the tutor. On this note, I find being a tutor amusing as I always find solving their…

I think the most important thing for a tutor to do is understand the student's level and accommodate them. If the student is struggling with basic level tasks then it is better to start from the fundamentals and build on top of them and give them more encouragement if they start to feel nervous. Whereas, if the student was already very confident…

As a tutor, you can\'t approach each student as if they are the same person learning the same subject. Each individual has different weaknesses and strengths. For a tutor to recognise this fact is detrimental to ensuring the tutor can target each student\'s weaknesses effectively instead of wasting time. Having been a student myself, I know time…

Be patient and go through the questions very clearly and slowly until they understand the concept in depth. I also think teaching the students content ahead of the class will ensure they can have a better understanding when they get taught it in school and already know the foundation I'm patient with students and will go through questions slowly…

Local Reviews

Bridgette was thrilled with her session with Ahmed this afternoon.
Elizabeth

Inside KnoxfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Paige worked on building speed and accuracy with double-digit addition and subtraction, as well as practising mental maths strategies for complementary numbers to ten.

Year 11 student Lily focused on balancing thermochemical equations in Chemistry and explored the production process and environmental impact of various fuels.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel tackled problems involving definite integrals—such as estimating area under curves—and reviewed differentiation techniques using chain rule applications in preparation for VCE exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working ahead in VCE Maths Methods left some school assignment problems incomplete, which meant that gaps lingered and couldn't be addressed until the next session.

In senior Chemistry, one student often delayed sending lab reports to the tutor before class—"If Sarah can send me the report a day earlier, we'll save time for feedback"—resulting in less time to tackle misconceptions or extend her analysis.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's tendency to rely on hands or number lines during subtraction led to hesitation when faced with numbers above 20; this slowed mental calculation and caused uncertainty when new combinations appeared.

Recent Achievements

One Knoxfield tutor noticed a big shift with Sarah in Year 12 Chemistry—she's now coming to sessions ready with her own questions and even prepares materials ahead of time, showing far more initiative than before.

Another high school student recently started pinpointing and correcting her own homework mistakes during lessons, something she hadn't done independently until now.

In a primary session, a younger learner who previously hesitated with vertical addition is now breezing through problems quickly and rarely makes errors.

Last week, Sarah finished her practical report without needing any extra support from the tutor.

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 Rowville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Carrington Primary School.
