The most important role for a maths tutor is to get the best out of the students. This can take many forms but ultimately requires the tutor to be flexible in their teaching approach, understand the areas the student is struggling with and provide support in a way that is best received by the student. I'm highly organised which enables me to be…

I believe the most important part of tutoring is establishing a basis for further understanding rather than promoting memory based learning. Instead, I believe a good tutor should seek to develop a students intuition, allowing for a more rounded and stress-free learning experience. I believe I have good patience and a sense of empathy to help me…

It is paramount to develop an equitable learner/teacher coalition in which a sense of discovery is at the fore.

A tutor should listen to their students and figure out what exactly it is they are struggling with. It can be quite frustrating for students when their teachers or tutors start prematurely answering a question they did not ask. It is tempting to expect teachers to just give an answer, however, there is a lot of value in knowing how to tackle a…

I think the most important thing to do as a maths tutor is to amend the teaching style for different students. Motivation was one of the things that I and many of my peers struggled with, and so, the last thing I want is for my student to not be engaged in the content. One way to do this to include connections to the student's interests. In…

Developing a relationship with students. From experience, if there is no relationship with a student, the less likely they are going to want to learn and engage in my tutoring sessions.

The requisite ability of a maths tutor is to teach, but the far more difficult and far more important task is to give context on what a student is learning. In other words, to explain why you would want to study, what you can do with a good ATAR and to show them the potential that is so easy to overlook whilst you're in school. It becomes so…

The most important thing a maths tutor can do is listen to the student and try to understand what it is they actually need to learn. Sometimes a tutor is teaching something but they are not actually listening to what the student is asking, which is false. It is also important to personalise how a tutor teaches to how a student learns. Although…

Inside SomervilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions, then worked through dividing fractions and ratios using visual models.

For Year 8, Daniel practised identifying triangles and calculating angles before moving on to review quadrilaterals and their properties.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah tackled surds and indices, then revised exponential functions ahead of her upcoming test to build confidence with these advanced algebraic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student entered the session unsure how to start factorising questions and hesitated when faced with algebra, often "mixing up what formula to use" if steps weren't clearly mapped out.

In Year 10, exam time management issues surfaced: working slowly through long-form questions meant several were left unfinished.

For a Year 4 learner, division concepts only clicked after repeated prompting; homework was rarely attempted independently, as one tutor observed, "needs more initiative to do work."

In chemistry for Year 11, over-reliance on the data book led to missed method errors—extra practice is still needed outside sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Somerville tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions is now regularly seeking clarification on tricky algebra steps, especially with simultaneous equations—a big shift from staying silent last term.

In Year 8, another student made a leap in geometry by correctly identifying angles and types of lines without prompting after weeks of confusion, even applying the number line for negative numbers independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled to complete homework now attempts times tables tasks at home unprompted and recently finished six pages of maths work almost entirely error-free.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the assistance Thanh has provided. It has certainly improved her confidence.

We have had two tutor sessions with Rhys and thus far we have been very happy with everything and more importantly Stewart is quite comfortable with Rhys and is finding the sessions helpful.

The tutoring is going well. Liana is settling in well and she finds Jacques explains things in a way she can understand.

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