I think the most important thing is to personalised and modified lessons for students as needed. Some students learn quicker with explanation, others like visual explanation. It is also important to gauge if student truly understand the concepts. This can be achieved through asking students questions or giving them practice questions after…

A good tutor aims to develop a student who no longer needs aid, so they inculcate executive study abilities that will benefit the student both academically and in life. Being a great student requires skills such as organisation, task initiation, attention, and time management. To develop confident, self-sufficient learners, tutors should focus on…

A tutor should be dedicated to his job, which is to facilitate his student to learn things in a easy and practical manner. Learning should not be boring, instead should be fun. Besides that tutor should be friendly to the student and have patience to make them understand the things that he delivers. I am a person who can teach any type of students…

They will be willing to ask questions and participate during the lesson. I am an approachable person. I feel like my passion…

I think it is important for tutors to make sure students learn the content instead of just memorizing things. This will set them up for future success in their studies. For a tutor to do this, they will need to be attentive to the students strengths and weaknesses, and then uniquely tailor sessions for them. Since I grew up in Australia, I am…

The most important things for a tutor to do for a student is making sure students are understanding concepts and tracking their progress.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, not to just explain a certain problem but to help them understand the concept behind it, explain to them why they are doing it.

1. Assist them in developing a learning style that is most suited to them. Everyone learns differently, everyone gets motivated differently. Finding the right strategy to learning increases the outcome-effort ratio and the adopted learning strategy allows them to become independent learners for life. 2.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to believe in them.

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

Jennifer has been amazing. Lily will miss her weekly sessions - she has learned a lot because of Jennifers quietly persistent style.

The tutoring is going great. Bryce is great and has made a great connection with Ethan. Ethan looks forward to his session and he is already feeling more confident with his maths. Bryce was the perfect choice for Ethan.

aura is doing very well with Sasha and I am very happy with the way she is teaching Sasha.

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.
