Listen to the students and understand what the actual issue is. More often than not it's not the concept itself but how the student is processing the concept, and if you don't see that you'll only be able to help them understand through repetition. My ability to tailor lessons to a students needs and study styles. I enjoy working with both…

In addition to professional knowledge and skills, tutors need to be patient when dealing with students. In addition, tutors have to be careful to express their opinions and fully understand the students' ideas when teaching the course. My strengths lie in my adaptability and willingness to actively solve problems. But at the same time, because I…

Instil them with confidence! Breaking down those confidence barriers a student might have could result in them tackling a question they would have never attempted otherwise. This also means persevering when they get answers wrong - they know they'll get there eventually. Another really important part of being a tutor is providing the student…

The key for a good teaching skill is patience, which I am really confident to have. I am ready to explain the same concept to someone multiple times until the latter can step out of the room with the confidence that he/she has learnt something. Even that I am a student from the Science side my eagerness to learn more has triggered me in learning…

As a student myself, the important things a tutor can do for a student can provide a clear and simple explanation and help them how to break down a given problem and apply the learned concept in real-life scenarios. And, another important point to note is that every student is unique, so as a tutor, I should be able to adapt to the teaching style…

Instil in a student a love of learning; teach them how to learn and how to manage their own education. It is relatively easy to study enough to get good marks in an exam, but having a positive attitude and active approach towards learning leads to much better information retention and better outcomes in the future, when the student is on their…

First and foremost, a tutor must have faith in his/her student. Having faith means having the trust that her students have the capability to excel not just academically but, in character development as well. As a tutor, I am not only an assistant in my student’s academic work. I am also a role model whom my student will look up to. Therefore, I…

I think tutors have to have the appropriate amount of empathy to understand, not only the way they learn, but also their reason for learning. Best thing tutor can do is align his values with his student's. I think this is a way to frustrate and alienate him. I can approach a problem the way student does. This gives me an insight into where they…

A tutor should always allow a student to figure out problem entirely by themselves. The worst thing to do is to solve everything for the student. A student should feel he/she is a smart logical human being, he/she just need a bit of guidance and assistance, however, no one undermines his/her abilities. I am patient and enthusiastic at the same…

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.
