First thing is trust, the tutor should be responsible, good listener, and patient; as a result, the student will trust on him and feel more comfortable to learn. Second, the tutor should understand and analyze the student difficulties to create an individual approach for his learning. Therefore, teaching will be an easy way for the tutor and the…

The single most important aspect for a tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off. I believe…

One of the foremost things a tutor can do for a student is to develop their interest in something which they have disliked or taken for granted. Another thing a tutor can do is to help them not only with their grades, but also with guiding them towards their goals and be a mentor that would inspire them to be the best of themselves. I can be…

A tutor needs to analyse and understand the way a specific student learns, and cater for that. While a tutors ability to explain a problem is important, I believe the ability to explain a problem in a variety of different ways, while also showing a student that needing help with school is completely normal, is of upmost importance. I understand…

To listen, and understand why a student isn't understanding a topic.

A tutor's traditional role is to deliver a concept to a student. However I believe that they also work behind the scenes to raise a student's confidence and enjoyment in a subject. Sometimes it's the tutor that makes or breaks a student's interest and motivation to learn. I have recently just finished schooling so I am very knowledgeable of the…

Personally for me, the teachers at school never went into what you really need to succeed in the HSC, and being one student in a class of 30 meant most times your questions were left unanswered. Having being tutored, having someone available to ask questions that I did not understand was very helpful throughout my schooling career, and I hope to…

A tutor needs to be able to inspire a student to strive and succeed in their chosen field, while still maintaining a personal, friendly relationship with them.

Local Reviews

I was very impressed with Adele for her knowledge, ability to teach and relate to my son, I was surprised how organised and aware of what level and subject matter my son would be working on at school. After only 2 lessons with her she managed to prepare him for an end of year test where he managed a B+. This is a large improvement to the D he received prior to her help! We will be seeing Addle again for sure.

Inside NorlaneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Phoebe worked on indices revision for her upcoming exam, focusing on applying index laws and simplifying expressions.

For Year 10, Jaden practised solving quadratic equations by factorising and reviewed the Pythagoras Theorem alongside introductory trigonometry using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Arjun explored differentiation techniques including the chain rule and tackled problems involving derivatives of power functions to prepare for calculus assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student often left assigned homework incomplete, especially on factorising quadratics; as one tutor noted, "just finishing off the rest of the assigned questions" was still pending at lesson's end.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 number work, skipping written steps and guessing answers crept in during division drills—leading to "needs to focus and take more interest instead of guessing."

A Year 11 student struggled with surface area worded problems due to over-reliance on memorised rules rather than careful reading. This led to missed marks when interpreting exam-style questions under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Norlane tutor noticed that Phoebe, a high school student who once felt unsure about indices and surds, now confidently completes these problems on her own and agreed she no longer needs help in this area.

Another recent win involved clarifying tricky compound interest questions—after extra practice on exponential growth and decay, Phoebe began solving similar tasks with ease and much less hesitation than before.

In a Year 3 session, one student who previously rushed through addition exercises took more care and managed to get most two-digit sums correct without prompting, showing clear improvement in accuracy and focus during their last set of practice questions.

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 Corio Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas Aquinas School.
