The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. Never give up on students. Some students may be fairly poor in understanding certain difficult topics and terms, but the teacher or tutor is responsible to try every possible way to let the student understand the concept. I try to make my tutoring methods fun. I would say I…

Good tutors should be able to help students improve and not dependent on them, they should be able to help a student solve problems and not simply giving them answers. In addition, tutors also have to be patient as not all students have the same learning abilities. Lastly, I think a tutor should put in the effort to understand both the materials…

Firstly, making a kind human being out of them and increase their knowledge level is the main aim of a tutor. Along with that, watering their out of the box ideas and help them channelize their thought process is a duty of the tutor. Assisting them to come up with innovative ideas and develop strong problem-solving capabilities to apply in real…

There are 2 jobs of a tutor. To make the student understand what they are learning and also encourage them to do quality practice questions.

I also know the importance of practicing these…

In mi opinion, a tutor should take care of the students in terms of ensuring that they understand each one of the concepts and topics explained. He/she should not hesitate in repeating an explanation as many times as necessary if the student doesn't understand any topic.

A tutor can be kind and patient with the student and open to any kind of question, however basic it might be and not ridicule the child. The tutor can also repeat the same thing until the student had finally grasped the concept so that they are completely confident. Having grown up around teachers, I have learnt a lot from them. I have learnt to…

Learning is all about association. You cannot go to C without having to go through A and B. I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to focus on the basics first and only if the basics are clear should the tutor proceed with the new concepts. Individual attention to each student and identifying their individual…

I think teaching students how to be independent is something tutors must do. Prioritizing things like active learning wherein students get to question things themselves, rather than being spoon-fed answers is important. Making them learn that they can find the answers themselves if they put in the effort is important. And obviously creating all…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be proud of all the improvements the student has done. It's not about congratulating them for being a high achieving student.

Inside South WharfTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Gracie worked on reading digital and analog clocks, as well as practicing addition and subtraction with numbers in the hundreds.

Year 11 student Elias focused on detailed revision of the nervous system in psychology and tackled a mock exam by reworking challenging questions to solidify his understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ella addressed statistics and finance concepts, including analyzing real data sets and interpreting financial information relevant to her course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student working through applications of logarithms and integration showed signs of test anxiety; as one tutor noted, "if he stuck on or passed a few questions, it may influence the rest of his test," leading to skipped questions under time pressure.

In Year 9 probability, there was difficulty in identifying correct numerators and denominators when reading stem-and-leaf plots—slowing progress during revision.

A Year 4 student was noticeably distracted towards the end of class by anticipation of online gaming, which led to lost focus on multiplication practice.

These process challenges often left unfinished tasks or interrupted deeper understanding.

Recent Achievements

One South Wharf tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip tough calculus questions now attempts them independently, showing new persistence with challenging material.

Another high schooler who struggled with reading data accurately on stem-and-leaf plots began pausing to check her work and openly discussed areas she found confusing—this honesty helped target her learning and improved her probability skills in just one session.

In primary, Gracie, who would lose focus midway through lessons, responded well when the tutor introduced short movement breaks; after these, she re-engaged quickly and completed all her fraction drawings without hesitation.

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