Beyond just improving grades, the most important thing a tutor can do is build confidence. Many students fail maths not because they aren't smart, but because they have 'maths anxiety' and believe they can't do it. A great tutor changes that mindset by creating a safe space to make mistakes. Secondly, a tutor must teach independent study…

I believe a tutor should have a better understanding of student's perspectives.

The tutor should ask questions and should bring up real-life examples so…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is just be patient with them. As students are brought up in a competitive environment in school, most times they feel inferior to their peers as not everyone learns at the same pace. Some learn faster and some learn slower and most often students feel lost and pressured. As a tutor, being there for…

I think a tutor can give a student a lot but the most important thing is boosting the morale of the student. A teacher has the power to build up or tear down a students's self-esteem and make a student's day or ruin it in an instant. So, a teacher must fill the role of someone who has the best interests of every child at heart. The main focus…

Help them look at things from a different view. That is what most students struggle with and once they understand the basics it is much easier to build on that, to lead into the more advanced topics.

Inside SomertonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sohaila revisited the split strategy for three-digit by two-digit multiplication, followed by targeted division problems to reinforce prior learning.

Year 10 student Keshan focused on rearranging equations in coordinate geometry, solving for gradient and y-intercept, and practiced expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions using step-by-step examples.

For Year 6, Zoyi worked through an English assessment that included comprehension, spelling, grammar, and paragraph writing skills to address areas of difficulty.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, a student often struggled to connect evidence to broader themes in text responses; as one tutor observed, "she tended to describe events rather than analyse their impact." This limited the depth of her essays.

In Year 7 mathematics, another student needed reminders to complete assigned homework and showed difficulty managing time during multi-step algebra tasks—unfinished questions meant missed feedback opportunities.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's written work was hard to follow due to inconsistent punctuation and paragraphing, making it challenging for her to proofread effectively. By lesson's end, fatigue sometimes led to skipped steps or incomplete practice.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Somerton noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to seek clarification, now independently identifies her weak spots in English essays and actively asks for targeted feedback—something she never did before.

In Year 7 maths, a student who once guessed at multiplication strategies is now confidently applying the split strategy to tackle both two-digit by two-digit and three-digit by two-digit problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner recently began solving worded maths questions on her own after initially struggling to decode what each question was really asking, finishing an entire worksheet with just one prompt.

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 Craigieburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Roxburgh Park Primary School.
