The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer all the help that they can give. The struggles that the tutors' have faced during their school years, should not be repeated in the lives of future students. Hence, the tutors are meant to provide all the information, all the key tricks to make it simple for the students in the…

A tutor can provide student a comfortable environment in which he/she can ask any doubt with confidence and without any hesitancy. As a tutor one can encourage student to explore his/her ideas before getting a standard solution. I am teaching mathematics since 2003. I am able to convert difficult problems into simpler ones using my own techniques.…

Responsibility is the first word that comes to my mind. I come from Vietnam, and I have seen very few Australian students who require a tutor, comparing to Vietnamese students. If they hire a tutor, they must have a need to improve their academic performance. Hence, a tutor needs to be responsible for them to achieve a better result. I cannot…

Listen to the students need and understand them as a learner what the goals they strive for. Everyone learns differently and no one is looking for the same experience or results from a class.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

Create an environment where the student enjoys learning and finds the challenge fun. If a child doesn't enjoy what they learn then they don't study as hard, the most important thing is to teach the student to use their brain in the most effective way possible.

I think that the most important thing that a tutor can do is relentlessly believe that the student is capable of learning and has the capacity to achieve. When the student sees this demonstrated week after week, they begin to also believe in their own capacity to achieve. This means that a tutor can impact students far beyond the current concepts…

Provide the student with a safe learning space and supporting the student in their learning.

The student needs to see progress and feel like they are…

My son has struggled for a while with Maths methods. Shamit has done wonders for my sons confidence and problem solving ability. Already we have seen C grades move to B+ grades.
Warren, Osborne

Inside OsborneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Maddison discussed challenges in maths and focused on division, fractions, and algebra basics to build confidence for the year ahead.

For Year 11, Sienna worked through application of integration questions and revised key practice problems in preparation for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia tackled derivative and integration techniques with a focus on finding equations of tangents to curves and solving kinematics questions using calculus methods.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students struggled with organizing their work and keeping up with assignments. For example, one Year 12 student couldn't locate completed homework, so valuable lesson time was spent redoing it together ("student couldn't find where she answered her homework").

In Year 11 Methods, another student rushed through assigned problems without using a provided cheat sheet, leading to incomplete understanding before an upcoming quiz.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student missed practice opportunities by not attempting set homework or revisiting key trigonometry steps from previous lessons. These habits often meant confusion lingered just before assessments, causing unnecessary last-minute stress.

In primary years, a student repeatedly forgot both word lists and library books; in spelling activities, over-erasing mistakes slowed progress and increased frustration when fitting longer words into worksheets.

Recent Achievements

One Osborne tutor saw a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after often rushing and making errors in differentiation, now pauses to check her working and no longer repeats old mistakes when rules don't apply—she's showing more care with tricky calculus questions.

Another high schooler recently took the initiative to get a quiz returned from their teacher so they could go through each mistake; previously, this student avoided feedback altogether.

Meanwhile, Esther in Year 3 moved up four levels in reading and finished a much longer book aloud than she managed last term.

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 Semaphore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ocean View P-12 College.
