A tutor must have a deep understanding in what you are teaching because after all, a tutor ultimate's job is to build student knowledges, skills and confidence levels high enough that they become…

Pretty much answered this in the first question, but essentially, to help the student to develop the skills, methods and confidence to go to the next level in their academic journey. As I am very familiar and comfortable with the subject matter, I am able to quickly break it down and explain it in simple terms to the student. Moreover, most times,…

A tutor will have to quickly work out how he/she can approach the young students, beforehand. He/she may need to understand the weakness of students and then the need to improve their study. Mixing well with the students in order to build up their confidence will help your next steps. He/she will always give positive feedback and encouragement…

Tutor not only teaches you one certain subject they have the ability to teach a different lifestyle. This for me is the most important thing. My motto is, “Train up a child in the way he/she should go; and when he/she is old, he/she will not depart from it" Being patient has always been my best friend. As a tutor you need to be patient as well…

Listen to the students and understand what the actual issue is. More often than not it's not the concept itself but how the student is processing the concept, and if you don't see that you'll only be able to help them understand through repetition.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is actually listen to what they want. Although it may seem obvious, many tutors I've had in the past have not been beneficial as they only teach what they desire. By actually addressing the specific needs of students, I believe a tutor can make it most beneficial for students I feel that,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is buiding their confidence and enjoyment of a subject that they perhaps once struggled with.

To recognise that no two students are the same and that a process like learning needs to be personalised so that the best results are achieved.

Local Reviews

Tutoring seems to be going well. I think both Matthew and Abbey are starting to settle into a routine. Abbey has started to apply some of the methods Matthew has shown her to school work. She has come home from school a couple of times now, saying she was asked a question during maths time and got it right. Which, of course, she was very happy about! Within the next few weeks, I will receive Abbey’s report for semester 1. I will show Matt, so he has even more understanding of her needs. I’m looking forward to seeing what they achieve in the coming months.

Inside SeaholmeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Madison worked on consolidating skills in Pythagoras' theorem and solving worded problems involving side lengths, as well as applying trigonometric ratios to find unknown sides in triangles.

For Year 8, Rohan focused on expanding and factorising binomial expressions using distribution methods, along with factorising by grouping.

In Year 5, Emily practised rounding decimals and rounding numbers to significant figures for improved accuracy in calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often relied on a calculator to identify gradients and intercepts, which limited her grasp of linear equations—"she could solve for x when y=0 but needed the calculator for reassurance."

In Year 12, one learner hesitated to show algebraic working, sometimes erasing steps rather than leaving mistakes visible; this made it harder to catch sign errors in factorisation.

For a Year 5 student, untidy written work during division tasks led to misaligned digits and confusion.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 struggled to keep track of materials and occasionally forgot completed homework, causing last-minute stress before lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Seaholme tutor noted that Aida, a Year 11 student, moved from feeling uncertain with linear graphs to confidently recognising and plotting them using the y=mx+c rule; she also started developing her own plan for tackling upcoming assessments.

In another session, Madison (Year 10) showed new independence by asking targeted questions about trigonometry, then applied trig ratios herself to find unknown angles—something she previously hesitated to attempt without guidance.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once guessed at times tables now talks through problems aloud and works out new multiplication facts by building from ones she already knows.

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