I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understanding and give motivations to students especially when they are having difficulties. This is because, with empathy and encouragement, students will perform better as they are more engaged and motivated in subjects they are studying. Furthermore, a tutor should give strategies…

I believe it's crucial that students become independent and active learners. I will provide the guidance and support needed for students on the way of becoming self-sufficient learners. I aim to help students build good learning habits and a growth mindset to self-navigate through their learning journey, even in times when teachers and tutors…

For me, a tutor is not only helping the student with their homework and answering questions, it is about building trust and creating a comfortable learning environment that sparks the interest of knowledge for the students. I believe that active learning can be done if the students are intrigued by the knowledge and see how it is relevant and…

I think the most important thing you can do as a teacher is to equip your students with the means to learn. There are skills to learn anything. As a teacher, you need to teach your students knowledge as well as show them how to learn. Once students have mastered the method of learning and at the same time gained the confidence to learn, they can…

For me, the most important aspect of tutoring is being able to breakdown a concept which the student finds challenging into its key components and then explain them in a way which really resonates with a student. By doing this not only are you helping the student to understand the topic, you are enabling to student to apply the idea or concept to…

Thus I personally believe that supportive lessons are more important than simply giving questions and marking them. I would describe myself as a "people person" because I love interacting and talking to different people.…

I believe the most important thing a tutor brings is 1 to 1 guidance. A good tutor can work with the student and guide them to achieve their individual goals, and can adjust their methods and pace as necessary, unlike in a class at school where the pace of teaching is same for everyone. I have a strong grasp of the sciences and English, and I…

A tutor should be able to provide clarity in moments of doubt and confusion. Encourage practice and definitely believe in the student.

In my perspective, providing confidence is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. The majority of people would hire a tutor is because of one's unsatisfactory performance towards the subject. Confidence would increase the understanding process for most of the people. Furthermore, to excel in the subject, the student has to work…

I believe that it's crucial for a tutor to create an open and supportive relationship with their student.

Local Reviews

The tutoring with Semini is going very well.

Inside St Kilda EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Anthony practised decimals, focusing on tenths and hundredths using visual models.

Year 9 student Ollie reviewed key skills from his end-of-year maths exam, including univariate statistics (like histograms and median) and perimeter/area of composite shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Leo worked through time series analysis and revised his recent test on regression analysis and data transformation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was observed repeatedly skipping written steps in algebra, saying "I can do this in my head"—but sign errors kept creeping in and took extra time to fix.

In VCE Maths, another student relied heavily on their calculator for financial questions but struggled when context required combining calculator results with written reasoning.

One Year 2 learner avoided learning single-digit addition facts, instead counting each time; as a tutor noted, "she uses counting to avoid knowing them." This led to slower progress and made more complex problems feel overwhelming when automatic recall would have helped.

Recent Achievements

One St Kilda East tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask questions, began coming to sessions prepared with her own list—now steering discussions towards what she finds tricky in maths.

In a recent high school session, another student who previously guessed at answers started openly seeking clarification on the difference between functions and relations, leading to genuine understanding.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once struggled to focus managed to factorise numbers independently for the first time and finished all practice problems without help.

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 Yeshivah College.
