Tutors in Surrey Hills include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
Apart from delivering a sound understanding of the concepts to the student, I aim to reinforce my tutoring with study strategies so they can advance their independent learning and boost their way to success. Being a tutor, I want to see my student gain confidence in their subjects and learn not just the knowledge from me, but the leaning…

Encouragement and patience. Through personal experience, even if the student improve their score by 1% from their last test, this is enough of an encouragement for them to push harder and let them know you will be their for them anytime when they are stuck or needing help. I can sympathise very well with the students since most of the time I know…
Some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is ensuring that the student knows the content that has been taught. Also make sure that you are listening to the student and try to minimise their weaknesses and maximise their strengths. As a tutor, my strengths are being confident and only speaking what I know of. I will only teach…
I believe a tutor should be a role model for the students and encourage him/her on their academic journey. I have found that many times students don't have proper guidance in regards to academics, hence they develop this stigma that they are not smart enough. As a tutor my role is to encourage the students to not only do better in school but also…
Be prepared for a lesson, be interested, explain things properly and clearly, make sure they actually understand and aren't just saying 'yes', allowing them to work through some tasks themselves. I think I am good at explaining and communicating. I am also quite down to earth, so I think that it is easy to ask me any questions.…
Coming down to the level of the student and understanding their point of view, modifying the curriculum in a way that is easily understood and personalised for a student are some ways which i consider to be important things a tutor can do for students.

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student first. I acknowledge the capability and learning pattern of the student and adapt according to their needs. I build a great rapport with them and try to motivate them throughout the learning process. I believe that anyone can sit and speak facts but, it is a good tutor who makes…
A tutor can help shape the future of a child by helping them in studies and boosting their confidence. They not only help them in their homework but also help them in expanding their knowledge in the subject which might give them an extra edge towards others. In a longer run a right tutor can ignite new ideas for the future and help carve a path…
Instill the resilience and capacity for students to dedicate and apply themselves to their learning rather than being dependent on a tutor to give them all the answers. I tailored my teaching style and session structure to suit the needs of my students rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I pride myself in making learning enjoyable…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create a safe and supportive learning space. With this environment, the student does not shy away from asking questions and communicating certain areas they would like further help, all the while increasing their confidence. From my experience, students struggle in subjects due to low…
Academically, I want to be able to build a student's confidence in their mastery of the subject, and familiarize the students with questions that may come up in an exam. This is done as I'll get to know the student and create a positive, engaging study atmosphere during the session. Non-academically, I want to help students make studying and their…
Knowing a student and modelling his learning plan accordingly addressing his concerns. Give positive messages.

Coordinated effort amongst parents and tutors is completely vital to a student’s prosperity.…

Similar to my strengths, I think a tutor needs to be flexible and patient with any and every student that they teach. A stubborn tutor that doesn't try to adapt to each student's personal needs or preferences won't be effective in their teaching, and a similar result follows for an impatient tutor. Additionally, any tutor should have a large bank…
I believe having a tutor who presents work in a manageable and stepwise manner is key. many students are embarrassed to admit when they don't understand concepts they may think are simple, or are intimidated by the seeming difficulty of some of the work. Presenting the problems as manageable and breaking them down helps the student gain your trust…

A tutor is someone who has been in the students' shoes and outgrown them. Throughout the tutor's journey through school, they gain knowledge and strategies which assist them through assessments. Although simply passing on the knowledge of the syllabus is important and an essential part of tutoring, it is the strategies regarding techniques of…
I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop a strong sense of confidence in their abilities. One strength, I feel, is that I have had experience in studying a very broad range of subjects - from classical music theory to forensic science - so I have been exposed to a great variety of teaching styles,…
I believe one of the most important things for a tutor is to give unlimited support to their students, answering their questions properly and patiently both in and out of class. what's more, a tutor should design their class for students and always get well-prepared. Except from these, a good tutor is also expect to be easily approachable and…
For me the most important aspect of being a tutor is that I must be able to maintain my students motivation. Somewhat like a personal trainer. Most clients hire a personal trainer not solely for their instruction but for their motivation and I belive this also applies in tutoring. Secondly a tutor must be able to explain concepts and ideas on the…
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
