I believe a most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to plant the seed of curiosity. It is very important to keep wondering, keep questioning. I have a good ability to use visual examples to teach complicated topics. In addition, patience is one of my strongest attributes. I have a habit of going in depth and understanding the reason…

I think stoking an interest in self education/exploration of a subject is more important than helping them simply pass a test (though that is important as well). When a student wants to research a topic on their own time, they not only have found a way to improve, but also might have found a future passion or career choice they never knew they…

The single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to instill in them a love of learning that helps them to understand how learning is more than simply copying facts and pasting it on paper but rather it is to help them understand their world at a deeper and wider level.

As a tutor, i believe that the attitude is very important as it can affect the student's emotions when studying the subject. With a positive attitude, they will be more happy when studying the subject therefore they will put more effort to work hard on it. Furthermore, I believe that a tutor should be good at explaining and observant because each…

For me, the most important thing is to show them and teach them to understand the process of the subject itself. This mean that they need to understand and see why and how the method works the way it is and why we teach the lesson this way. Another important factor is the student itself enjoying the lesson and learning process. This, for me can be…

Fostering an environment of growth is key: tutors need to encourage the student to ask questions, set realistic standards and recognise failure as the opportunity to learn. Seeing these mindsets shift within students is extremely rewarding as a teacher. In my experience of tutoring, it is less about showing the student what you know and…

I think tutors need to be able to diagnose the cause of why a student does not understand something, so good communication skills are essential. However, having a good enough understanding of the content to be able to explain it in multiple ways is also a critical skill, whether that be graphically, numerically, with an analogy, or in several…

Alec is really enjoying his sessions with Matt. He finds Matt funny and easy to get along with. Alec tells me he has already started learning things he didn't know. We are very happy so far with Matt.

Inside St KildaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Matthew focused on complex numbers—proving properties using geometric arguments—and also tackled advanced trial paper questions involving polynomials and mathematical induction.

Year 11 student Amisha worked through the quantum mechanical nature of atoms, applying the Rydberg equation to electron transitions, and practised solving problems on electromagnetic induction.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Will developed essay writing skills by planning comparative responses for Tracks and Into the Wild, with particular attention to analysing language use and connecting key themes such as individualism and materialism.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student often skipped showing full working in interest and credit card problems, which made it hard to catch repeated calculation errors; as noted, "small details were missed due to the habit of skimming over the question and jumping straight to the formula."

In senior English, incomplete homework and weak communication about missing work became an issue—one week, no prior notice was given that set tasks hadn't been attempted.

Exam responses also suffered from minimal essay planning, leading to answers drifting off-topic.

In Extension Maths, forgetting previous feedback meant similar mistakes kept resurfacing during timed proof questions.

Recent Achievements

One St Kilda tutor noticed that Will, a Year 12 English student, has begun to independently spot and explain his own writing errors—something he previously struggled with—and now takes initiative to backcheck his essays before submitting.

In another recent high school session, Amisha made a breakthrough in physics by correctly solving a projectile motion problem using methods she'd found confusing just weeks ago, and her improved test score reflected the shift.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed new engagement by describing themes for class novels out loud after previously being hesitant to share ideas during lessons.

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 St Kilda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yesodei HaTorah College.
