I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is leaving them with a range of tools for study that they can use on their own at school or if I’m not around.
The student being able to use study techniques that I have taught them on their own accord is what I would aim to achieve. My strengths as a tutor would have to be my…
Personally, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them a certain concept but rather equip them with the tools to be able to learn the concept and future concepts themselves. Whether that may be going through study strategies or instilling motivation, the main crux of the job should be so that the student can…

Give them confidence! Students often require a tutor not only because they cannot cope with content, but because they have a lack of confidence in the subject.

I think being able to communicate effectively is very important for a tutor.He/she should be able to put himself in the student's shoes. And accordingly elucidate concepts. Every student has his own strengths and weakness in a subject. The tutor should be able to identify these. Apart from this,

In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
The tuition is going very well - we love Sigrid and Sian has improved in her confidence and ability beyond our expectations.
Liam and Georgie liked Stephanie and found her explanations and teachings simple and easy to understand. They seem to be very happy with her which is great after only 1 session each!
Thank you for the email. Alex is here now tutoring Sarah. He is absolutely fantastic and has really helped her improve. We would like to stop the tutoring for now and see how Sarah goes in Term IV. If she finds anything difficult and requires another tutor I will contact you to arrange.
