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.
I aim to help my students develop a lifelong love for learning and interest in the subjects as well as increased confidence in themselves and their own abilities. I am a good observer and listener of my student’s needs. I can tell when they are struggling with something and am patient and considerate while they try to understand…
Beside tutoring the knowledge, the most important thing is support. Supporting a student from not giving up in what they are doing. Life is always up and down, endure the pain and overcome the difficulties with all your might. I will motivate the student and pass on my passionate and encouragement in studying to the student I taught. I am a…
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to deepen/ignite their interest in the area which they are teaching or make a student come to love a subject they struggled with before. Furthermore, as a tutor, I feel that helping a student build a strong foundation of knowledge is important as future knowledge they learn would…
The most important things are:
Keep communicating and observing, to custom the different methods for different level students.
Be patience to answer the questions, and then guide the students to understand the questions and find the answers. I have solid background in academic study and research to share my knowledge and skills with students.…
For a student, the worst thing a tutor can do is to strike fear into them about their progress or their work. I consider a tutor's job to support the student in every way: academically, physically, and psychologically. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with realistic hopes: to stand from our perspectives and…
As a tutor I believe that the most important thing is to be able to reach out for me to assist them with their works because an immediate feedback can make a difference in the performance. Providing extra material for students are also a very essential part of tutoring as it enables student to expand their knowledge and allows them to perform…
The most important thing is to inspire students and academic results would naturally come. A sound understanding of the specific area of study that the students are trying to learning together with the tutor's personality to let them be inspired. The ultimate result is that they can explore their individuality and talent to a maximum in order to…
I think the most important role of a tutor for students is to help them find the confidence to learn, and let them study subjects in the way they like. I think my strength is that I am good at understanding the characteristics of each student and giving them the encouragement and help they need. I am also very good at making study…
The most important thing as a tutor, in my opinion, isn't to make them get good grades or to achieve high scores, but make them feel like they are improving everyday and making them feel a sense of accomplishment when they feel like they’ve truly learnt and understood something. I hope to make sure they are able to truly enjoy learning rather…
Every student is different, from personalities to their academic goals. Tutors should identify what sort of unique methods they should approach their students to give them the best tutoring experience! Most importantly, I hope students are able to have a good time learning and interacting with me. Being able to simplify and relate concepts in real…
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.
What they say about our tutoring
Thanks for your email. Our decision to discontinue the tutoring was not due to any dissatisfaction - quite the opposite. My daughter only had a few sessions with her tutor, and in that time gained a huge amount of confidence in her abilities. The tutor was able to reassure her that she wasn't as bad at maths as she believed. This new-found confidence enabled my daughter to discuss openly with her teacher the difficulties she was having, and get some extra help at school. Since then, she has performed markedly better in her assignments and tests.
Natasha is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend your company to anyone experiencing difficulty with Maths.
Thanks for the follow up and for all your help.
Douglas was great & Liam responded well with him - But the school have always had in house tutoring that Liam was uncomfortable attending - But with Douglas's input he now feels confident to go and take that path. As I pay School fees this makes more sense than another outlay on top. He is making great progress and all is well.
Just wanted to let you know that Mark seems like a good match for Nik. He really likes him and had a really successful first session.
Thanks for your support and assistance in finding him!
