Definitely support the student, always be there if they need help with questions and a crucial quality that a good tutor must have is patience in my opinion. As some students are not fast learners and thats okay, I am patient and would find alternative ways to make sure they understand at the end of the day. I believe coming into lessons with a…

Psychology Tutor Seabrook, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is make sure that the students understand the concepts thoroughly. It is so important for students to understand the concepts rather than just solving questions in a particular order and hoping for the best. A tutor should be able to provide students with a safe space so they feel…

Psychology Tutor Point Cook, VIC
I think one of the most important aspects is to be patient with the student. Its important to understand that each student is different, and create an environment that is comfortable for them to ask questions without feeling belittled or shunned. It takes great patience to achieve this; its important to go over aspects multiple times if needed,…

Psychology Tutor Wyndham Vale, VIC
I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen, as well as be patient. It is essential that a tutor takes the time to listen to a students needs, and how they are feeling about certain topics. Patience is also very important, because all individuals learn at different levels, and it is essential to remember that. I…

Psychology Tutor Burnside, VIC
I believe that a tutor is not there to chastise and 'drill' concepts into a student's mind. The best thing that a tutor can do for their student is to create a positive, uplifting and supportive learning environment. This ensures that students feel comfortable to learn and improve so that they can approach their mistakes not with self-doubt and a…

The process to get started was super easy and I was matched with a tutor who was at the right age and level for my child. Very happy with the process so far

Inside TarneitTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam focused on structuring narrative essays and practiced spelling, along with exploring ways to improve descriptive writing using picture prompts.

For Year 8, Priya worked through maths questions involving decimal multiplication and division as well as revising her homework essay for clearer arguments.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan reviewed probability concepts—calculating mean in probability problems—and refined his English homework essay with targeted feedback.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, a student repeatedly finished essays without proofreading, leaving small grammar and punctuation errors; as one tutor noted, "proofreading was skipped, so capital letters after full stops were missed."

Meanwhile, in Year 11 Maths, another student often mixed up positive and negative signs when solving algebraic equations—misplacing answers despite understanding the method.

In Year 5, a student jumped into descriptive writing before brainstorming ideas and struggled to develop enough content for their paragraphs.

These process habits meant that clarity and accuracy suffered even when students had strong foundational knowledge.

Recent Achievements

One Tarneit tutor noticed a Year 8 student who previously rushed through essays now taking the time to brainstorm ideas and write longer, more detailed paragraphs, with fewer missing details than before.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who struggled with decimal problems managed to solve all their homework independently for the first time.

A primary student also showed a real shift by openly asking for help when stuck on spelling during writing tasks, instead of quietly guessing as they had in earlier weeks.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Freya and Lidia get on really well, Lidia is gentle, firm and positive all at the same time which works well for Freya. Freya's confidence is growing already and she did better in her last weekly maths test than she usually does which was a boost for her confidence.

Ranul has been fantastic. Ava seems to have really taken a liking to him which helps!

Matthew has become much happier to talk & often inform us about math problems & the confidence he has gained even at this early stage of being tutored is huge. Andrew has been a tremendous help so far.

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 Julia Gillard Library Tarneit—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Teresa of Kolkata Catholic Primary School.
