As for me, I believe that one of the most crucial things that a tutor should bring to a student is the passion for learning. We have to encourage and help them to find out the interesting of the subject they are studying I'm a good listener, a diligent person. I'm eager to try new methods to help students with their problems, and my attitude is…

Being Non-judgmental with a desire to help; does not make assumptions about students; treats all students as individuals who want to learn and have the ability to learn no matter what their personal background or circumstances are. Encourages independence: You do not want the student to rely on you at all times. Let them know that they must put…

It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

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…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students. This way…

I believe, more than anything else, that a tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and trusting…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is. Allow students to make mistakes, and making mistakes is not really a terrible thing. Even many mistakes are the best process for students to learn. And the student makes mistakes and reflects on them so that what he gains is what he can gain for himself. What do you think…

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

Liz

Inside RipplesideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliz focused on subtraction, explored the basics of chance, solved arithmetic problems with decimals, and began learning Roman numerals using visual aids.

For Year 9, Sarah worked through quadratic equations and practised translating real-world problems into algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam deepened his understanding of parabolic graphs by finding gradients and identifying maximum and minimum points from different graph sketches.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student in maths relied on guessing when unsure, especially with division problems—"needs to take more interest to solve problems instead of guessing the answers," noted a tutor.

In Year 9 algebra, another student skipped writing steps while rearranging equations, leading to confusion about sign changes and order of operations.

For Year 11 graphing tasks, over-reliance on calculators became apparent: "more practice with evaluating graphs" was suggested because key concepts weren't being reinforced.

One primary learner's tendency to rush spelling in English resulted in repeated corrections and frustration during reading aloud.

These habits often left students double-checking work or feeling uncertain when new challenges appeared.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rippleside noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now pauses to request help whenever she's stuck, rather than just guessing and moving on.

Another win came from a Year 11 maths session where a student who struggled with the chain rule last term was able to work through problems independently after concept revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often rushed her reading assignments has started slowing down and self-correcting punctuation mistakes without prompting—she finished her latest story by fixing three of her own sentence errors.

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 Geelong West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College (Victoria) - BVNV Geelong.
