A tutor should take responsibility for a student. The most important thing for a tutor is to maximise the efficiency during lessons and encourage students to ask questions whilst ensuring students understand “logic†instead of “how to answer the question†I believe I am relatively patient and organised as a tutor. I’m very timely as…

First and foremost, the tutor needs to help the student fully understand all the core concepts. Comprehending the underlying logic and reasoning in mathematical concepts, and the skill to be able to apply these to problems, are necessary for success in mathematics. After that comes exam or test-specific advice: what working markers expect, how to…

I believe it is very important for a tutor to always show a supportive and encouraging demeanour when teaching students, as every student may have different learning capacities. By showing this behaviour, I think that it will allow students to feel more comfortable around their tutor, meaning they will not be afraid to ask for help. I believe that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. A tutor's job is not to just teach the student, but to bring out the best of the student and a tutor cannot do that unless they listen to the student. A good tutor is not a tutor that had achieved exceedingly well themselves, although that is a part of it- it's about their ability…

Inside SherbrookeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel practiced multi-digit addition and subtraction, worked on area and perimeter, and later focused on building speed with times tables using flashcards.

In Year 9, Vien prepared arguments for a practice essay and started planning for an upcoming SAC by refining how to reword sentences concisely.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Isaac tackled factorising techniques like the difference of perfect squares and grouping method, and reviewed algebraic fractions during test revision.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student's handwriting and essay structure made it difficult to communicate ideas clearly—"his handwriting is difficult to read," noted the tutor, which slowed both reading and writing tasks.

In Year 11 Maths, a lack of regular practice led to "struggling to recognise which techniques to use in different questions" under test conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student avoided harder geometry problems and preferred repeating familiar work; this meant less exposure to new concepts.

During VCE English prep, another student hesitated to revise drafts after feedback, leaving recurring grammar issues unaddressed before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Sherbrooke tutor saw a Year 8 student, Vien, shift from passively listening to actively proofreading his own paragraphs and clearly explaining what he'd changed—a big step up from earlier sessions where he hesitated to edit.

In senior English, Tasia recently started setting her own goals for VCE essay writing and is now independently linking arguments with supporting quotes, something she found overwhelming last term.

Meanwhile, Daniel in Year 5 began volunteering answers even when unsure; last week he finished a set of multi-digit multiplication problems on his own after previously needing frequent reassurance.

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