I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, tailor their approach to meet individual needs, and provide consistent encouragement. Helping students feel confident in their abilities creates a strong foundation for learning, as they are more likely to engage actively and tackle challenges head-on.…

The most important thing is to make an individual understand the concept of the problem rather than individual problems so that they don't feel nervous when they a similar problem is presented in front of them. The whole point is that the child should feel comfortable around you and not hesitate to ask even the silliest questions, because no…

I believe a teacher can either make or break a student and I've seen both scenarios happen around me. I believe as a tutor the most important thing I can do is boost their confidence or build it from scratch if they have no confidence at all.

Most importantly, putting time and efforts after students till their basics are clear is the key for a tutor to use. After clearing the basics, revising and revisiting the already done work is equally important. Having had experience in tutoring, patience is my strength. I think self motivation and hard work are the key to success while mentoring…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand and support them. A student excelling in their studies is not simply a routine of worksheets and practice essays, but learning simple yet effective methods for studying such as flash cards, mind maps and games. It also goes beyond studying and into routines students can…

Tutor should guide the student to think independently and creatively. This enables the student to form their own ideas and understand a concept in from different point of views instead of just following steps and rules. These skills are crucial for a student especially in the latter part of their school life. When I teach, I will put myself in the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can be to a student is patient and kind. This is because there could be a particular concept the student is struggling with, so the tutor needs to be able to help them learn and improve on that topic. Being patient and kind in explaining it to the student is, therefore, an important part of doing so.…

1. The tutor should be open minded and let the student show any problems in their homework or tests etc. 2. I can be assertive, but not authoritative.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make learning simple by building from a very strong foundation. The reason many students struggle with complex concepts is because their foundation is either weak or vague. My approach has always been to start with the basics, explain them in simple terms, and then gradually build…

Local Reviews

All good very happy with Dorcus!
Christine, Mont Albert North

Inside Mont Albert NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Daniel focused on geometry, specifically learning to identify similar triangles by comparing side ratios and angles, as well as distinguishing congruent triangles using side lengths and angle properties.

In Year 5, Anna practised reading comprehension with texts like "Healthy Muscles Matter," answering questions and summarising key ideas.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Oliver strengthened his grammar skills by exploring contractions and common nouns through sentence exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, missing recent classes meant one student faced a test without having covered all required concepts. As a tutor noted, "it's easy to feel overwhelmed with limited prep time," and gaps in content made targeted revision challenging before the assessment.

In Year 5 writing tasks, skipping instructions led to avoidable errors—he would "jump into the exercises prior to reading", which cost time correcting simple mistakes instead of practicing new skills.

For a Year 3 student, incomplete homework built up; when trying to catch up, he struggled to keep pace and became frustrated during review sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Mont Albert North tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student's approach to geometry: after previously needing step-by-step guidance, she now independently spots hidden shapes and applies ratios to similar triangles with just brief prompts.

In a recent Year 8 session, a student who used to second-guess himself on grammar tasks has begun finishing punctuation exercises without hesitation, double-checking his work only once before moving on.

Meanwhile, a primary student surprised his tutor by expanding dot points into sentences during the lesson planning stage—something he'd resisted doing on his own until this week.

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 Balwyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Box Hill Senior Secondary College.
