A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

In my opinion, being a person that students are comfortable with to reach out for help is one of the most important things. A tutor should be there to assist them, not add stress or pressure to them. I also think it is important for tutors to motivate the students to learn, instead of just giving answers, and in motivating them, tutors should be…

Being a medical student, I value how education builds an individual. Having the right mentors and teachers during one's educational journey can either make or break them. Students look up to their mentors and tutors for various reasons. Students already interact with teachers at school, so they require a friend who understands their problems and…

The most important thing is trust that both tutor and student should have on each other. An ease of asking questions and making mistakes is another very important thing. Its okay to make mistakes but if your student is afraid of you , they would never ask questions and will be afraid to make mistakes so the tutor will never be able to…

Ultimately, a successful tutor is the one who can help students out of their bottlenecks, assists them in studying, and finally equips them with the skills and mindsets for…

The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance.

I have got a lot of patience with kids and am able to convey my thoughts to them at the same time…

I think a tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a tutor is my…

Inside Toorak GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alex focused on calculating surface area and volume for a range of 3D shapes, alongside reinforcing index laws and an introduction to surds.

In Year 10, Sarah practiced applying quadratic equations to real-life problems and revised methods for solving for x in quadratics, including factorising and using the quadratic formula.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam tackled advanced trigonometric functions by graphing transformations of sine and cosine curves and began exploring applications of the unit circle using worked examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student arrived to tuition without key materials, including their calculator and textbook, which slowed progress on algebra practice.

In a senior lesson, a Year 11 student tried to solve quadratic equations in their head—"mistakes are barely detected and noticed when you go back and check"—but avoided writing out steps, making it hard to catch errors or gain partial marks.

Another student's maths book was described as disorganised during square root exercises, causing confusion when reviewing work.

Meanwhile, a primary learner appeared distracted during explanations of surface area for cylinders, missing important clarification in the moment.

Recent Achievements

One Toorak Gardens tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Ariana, move from confusion with completing the square to confidently tackling quadratic equations on her own and achieving a top band score of 70/74 in her recent test—she now explains each step logically without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with fraction questions has begun working through indices problems almost entirely independently, showing real initiative when faced with new topics.

In Year 5, one student has started identifying perimeters and simpler shapes in composites much more quickly than before, even checking their answers aloud as they work.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you. So far so good. Sarah is very approachable and friendly, quick to respond to emails etc. and has a great collaborative style. Jake, who was skeptical of tutoring at first, has found the sessions very useful.

We are delighted with Charlie as Gabrielle's tutor. He has been prompt, polite, pleasant and extremely helpful. Within 2 sessions I could see her confidence in attacking problem solving questions had improved and approach to Maths in general.

Tammy is great.  She has a friendly manner and she is enthusiastic at every session. Lucy seems to like her and she has some great methods for teaching.  She engages Lucy and makes the sessions fun and interesting bringing things along to help Lucy understand what she is trying to teach her.  She is concentrating on what Lucy's weaknesses are while thinking ahead for Lucy for year 7. From  my observations of the sessions I think she will help Lucy enormously. I am very happy with Tammy to date and hope that she is happy to continue on with Lucy

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marryatville High School.
