I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide encouragement and support, and to teach skills for problem solving, learning, and managing workloads. Subject-specific knowledge and skills are of course extremely important, but developing the confidence to try (and learn from mistakes) and the transferable skills…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is reassure them that it is perfectly normal to not understand a topic straight away. Tutors must make sure that students are not ashamed of needing help, and do not feel 'stupid' or 'dumb' for not understanding. I am a very patient person who is good at listening. When I am in a tutoring role…

The first and foremost thing a tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done by…

- A tutor can change their way of thinking towards some subjects. For instance, during their school class, they might think the subject is boring. But if tutor, teach them in a way to make it more fun and interesting then they like and start to grasp the knowledge quickly. - So the tutor can change their perception and eventually guide them to…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen. Their curiosity is ignited, and they are more likely to ask questions in class and read additional texts about things that interest them.…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is prepare them for the unexpected.

This can only be achieved if the student is…

Build interest. For younger student, most of them are still trying to find their interest in a certain field. The best thing I can do is to build interest with my humorous skill.

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics. Also translate the mathematics to a way a student can understand - perhaps look at it more graphically, or by using a real world example - and by breaking down a complex problem into simple, easy to understand parts.

Inside Somerton ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student James worked through NAPLAN Numeracy practice questions, focusing on relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages, and understanding key terminology and equivalence.

Year 10 student Finn tackled probability concepts such as events and outcomes before moving on to rates, ratios, and proportions for an upcoming assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex studied the production and transmission of electromagnetic waves in Physics and practiced numerical problem-solving alongside revision of integration techniques in Mathematics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student in Physics mixed up formulas for derivatives and antiderivatives, leading to confusion during problem-solving—"he sometimes mixes up the stuff," noted a tutor.

In Year 11 Maths, forgetting key constants slowed down progress with numericals, while another senior struggled to recall standard deviation and variance formulas in Statistics.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student had trouble correctly labelling headings on the place value board, which made it harder to organise answers.

During reading tasks in Year 3, reluctance to participate meant missed opportunities for practice; one session required repeated prompting just to get started.

Recent Achievements

One Somerton Park tutor noticed James is now solving most maths problems in class after previously needing extra support and even started asking for more challenging questions.

Chloe, also in high school, has moved from hesitating on worded problems to working through them independently during sessions—she recently tackled several ratio questions by herself without prompting.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, Jye used to be quiet and reserved but has begun involving himself fully in lessons and now brings home books to share his spelling lists and writing pieces with real pride.

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 Glenelg Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sacred Heart College - Marcellin Campus.
