I think a tutor must be extremely understanding of a students concerns and queries regarding their work. Also, not only must a tutor be well versed in the content, they must also develop ways to explain these concepts to students who have a lack of understanding or no understanding at all, tailored to the needs of that particular individual. I am…

I feel like if a tutor is able to make studying fun so much so that a child brings questions and inquiries about topics they have explored independently- is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student As a student, I was only able to retain information if I enjoyed. I feel like my strength as a tutor is understand how the child looks as…

Most importantly inspire the student, pass on my knowledge and passion. Having the student to love what she/he is studying achieves much more than teaching could solely achieve. I always teach a student 'how to think' instead of 'what to think'. I am very patient and flexible. Being a student at university, I understand both the tutor's and the…

A tutor must be able to communicate effectively with a student in order for the student to grasp complex mathematical concepts. Since I was also a student sitting the HSC, I am able to put myself in the student's shoes and thus effectively tackle anything limiting their understanding. In addition, a tutor must be able to identify the…

The tutor has to look at problems/concepts from the students point of view which requires a good relationship between tutor and student. There also needs to be a strong element of trust such that the student feels comfortable to let the tutor know if they don’t understand a concept or would like an explanation to be repeated. The tutors main…

Encourage them. I can give throw as much information at them as I want but without encouraging them and reassuring them they've got this, the information's worthless.

A tutor must be understanding and patient. These students are still learning and can feel embarassed about their slow progress. It is the death of a students learning if they feel too scared to ask questions or go over the same content. A great tutor must understand this and make the student feel comfortable and at ease so they are willing to…

Help them grow a passion for the subject so that they’re not just learning it for the sake of doing it but they may actually find a future long term love for the subject.

The most important thing is to engage with the student. It is more beneficial for the student and tutor to work together and be open to new ideas or methods to tackle questions.

Inside North MelbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Oliver worked through multiplying and dividing fractions as well as solving simple algebraic equations using step-by-step examples.

In Year 8, Mia practised converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages, and simplified expressions by applying rules for order of operations.

For Year 10, Liam explored linear graphs—focusing on expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions before interpreting inequalities on number lines.

Recent Challenges

Messy layout caused issues for a Year 7 student when aligning digits in multi-step multiplication—"she sometimes wrote the ones in the tens column," leading to confusion and extra zeros.

In Year 10, incomplete working out during linear equation problems hid errors with negative signs, as noted: "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

For a senior student tackling data analysis, relying on calculator outputs without manually checking units (km/h vs m/s) resulted in inconsistent answers across practice questions.

Unclear written working left mistakes undetected until review, slowing progress and adding frustration during revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in North Melbourne noticed a Year 10 student who had struggled with expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions—especially with negative numbers—was able to work through order of operations confidently by the end of the session, showing real independence compared to last week's hesitation.

In another high school lesson, a student who'd previously mixed up how to use formulas for speed, distance, and time began choosing the right equations on their own for real-life scenarios.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student moved from confusion about subtracting larger digits to solving these problems accurately without prompting, even explaining her steps out loud.

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