Helping the student understand the concept clearly.Once a concept is taught and examples are explained,I firmly believe that it is duty of the tutor to make sure that the students solves/writes the problem/writing on their own.And proper follow ups of the mistakes made by the student is also another important one.Other than that, how to embrace…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is offer an environment where they can comfortably learn and raise any concerns or questions they might have. This comes from building a good relationship with the student, which often not many tutors do, making the student's learning ineffective. Offering an organised and well thought…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen, and to be a pillar of support they can lean on not only in their academics, but also in their personal lives. High school can be a really stressful period for students, not only in the immense pressure that students are under but also with the dramatic shifts their minds…

A tutor should focus more on the foundation of the student and focus more on the basics of the subject. Also, corelating the subject with real-life examples could make learning easier and more interesting. I believe I have the right amount of patience required to tutor students.

I find it important for students to know and feel that their individual needs are heard, understood and attended to. It would be most important to follow through all plans, tailored to their needs, with actions that allow the students to realise their progress. By also validating their strengths and identifying their self-limiting beliefs, I…

I think the most important thing a tutor should do is understand the learning pattern and style of the student. Every student learns differently, simply using one method is not enough.

To improve a student’s level of knowledge. To help him when there is a misconception, or failure to conceptualize. To teach him methodologies and skills of study.

Thank you, Harold! I appreciate your expertise, professionalism and kindness in helping me think through some problems to help my son in his math class.

Inside The BasinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Daniel worked on building confidence with times tables and understanding fractions, using visual aids for tricky concepts.

In Year 10, Sarah practised solving simultaneous equations and strengthened her grasp of linear graphing through real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack focused on applying calculus to rates of change and integration problems, followed by revision of exponential and logarithmic equations in preparation for exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, skipping working steps in calculus ("he sometimes makes small mistakes due to skipping working steps which results in errors") led to incorrect answers that could have been caught with clearer layout.

For a Year 8 student, forgetting area and volume rules made it hard to tackle multi-step geometry problems; laying out problems more systematically was flagged as essential for future study.

In VCE revision, one student hesitated to revisit tough questions after setbacks—confidence wavered instead of retrying with fresh eyes.

During Year 12 exam prep, unclear use of formulas meant time was lost re-reading questions rather than solving them.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in The Basin noticed some real shifts recently. In Year 12, Jazz had previously struggled with advanced differentiation problems, but this week she managed to solve nearly all book questions on her own, only needing help for one particularly complex example.

For a Year 9 student, Jess had trouble reading and drawing graphs just two weeks ago; now she can confidently graph and interpret data without support.

Meanwhile, Hayden in primary school used to avoid practicing his times tables between lessons—now he completes them independently and even explains fraction concepts using models like pizza slices.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kicking myself for not starting tutor earlier! It would have helped tremendously with Jayden's studies and being able to work independently!

We had the first session with Nick today and he was fantastic! He focused on the right areas and really engaged with Yvette....I think we are on the right track.

Tabinder has made Leon come a long way in the last 2 weeks and he is quite proud of his achievements.

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 Boronia Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School.
