I believe a tutor should always provide a safe learning environment for the students. They should always impart knowledge, skills and also good values for their students. Tutors should always create lesson plans to ensure they address a diversity of students through their teaching as the learning capacities of students can be diverse due to a…

Providing as much detail in feedback and marking somewhat harsher than what is needed so that students are benefiting from as much feedback so that they can improve. With this feedback, providing very specific examples of how to improve instead of saying generalised criticisms. Create links with stuff that's already been learnt so that students…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student, is to show the easiest method to learn the content of the subject. A tutor can teach the way to decode the subject matter. Once, the tutor teach the method to learn and the student understand that method, a student should become independent to learn similar topics. I think a tutor…

Tutor, for me, is not only a teaching career where you come in, provide the lesson and knowledge. Tutoring is a great process where tutor and students can interact and learn from each other. Furthermore, I believe that tutoring also means supporting students' learning. Supporting, in this case, is not only about aiding students with their learning…

Inside TottenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel practised NAPLAN numeracy skills by interpreting dot plots and tackling worded questions involving operations with fractions.

Year 8 student Chelsea focused on using the laws of indices to simplify expressions and applied her understanding of surds through practice quizzes and textbook review.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava worked on solving quadratic equations by completing the square and sketched quadratic graphs using turning point form for visual reinforcement.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often avoided writing out working in algebra and long division, saying "I can do it in my head," which led to forgotten steps and confusion when checking answers.

In Year 11, a student relied heavily on her calculator for expanding and factorising exercises, making it difficult during non-calculator tests.

Another senior student's workbook layout was inconsistent—dates missing, mixed notes and questions—which made revision stressful before exams.

A Year 5 learner sometimes left homework incomplete due to a busy week; this limited opportunities for targeted feedback on tricky topics like fractions and multiplication.

Recent Achievements

A Tottenham tutor recently noticed a big shift with one high school student, Chelsea, who used to get stuck on worded problems—she now works through them independently and even organises her solutions clearly without prompting.

In another session, Sasha, also in high school, began tackling every test question instead of skipping the ones she found confusing; she's started asking clarifying questions instead of giving up.

Meanwhile, Camilla in Year 5 managed to create her first dot plot and confidently answered related questions—a leap from needing step-by-step guidance just a few weeks ago.

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 Footscray West—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dinjerra Primary School.
