As a tutor, I think it's important to be there for them. Learning loads of new concepts almost every second day can be overwhelming and with that, all students have their strengths and weaknesses. Thus as a tutor it would be a good measure to know their strengths and weaknesses and work with them through their weaknesses and add them to the list…

In my opinion, making the student feel comfortable is key to establishing a healthy and optimistic relationship with learning. The teaching space needs to be free of judgement and should feel inclusive. A one-size-fits-all method of teaching disregards every student's unique circumstances so the tutor should make an active effort to empathise with…

The most important thing would be to push them to be passionate and to be interested in what they are doing, and to help them want to improve at what they're learning. I find myself to be very relatable to students, likely due to my age, and able to convey information in a way that makes it easy to understand for a younger…

The first thing a tutor can and should do for a student is to understand their difficulties and to set up a learning plan that is personalized and helpful. Lessons should give plenty of opportunities for students to test their knowledge as well as focusing on any grey areas by explaining any difficult concepts again. The second thing and perhaps…

I wish to try my best to identify gaps in learning and provide tailored instruction to the students who are struggling.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to wear students' shoes, which means to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. Once we recognise how each student learns best, we can adapt our explanations and materials to support them more effectively. I used to struggle with some of these subjects myself, which helps me…

Critcal thinking and the method of approching to problems are what I think the most important in doing maths. Answers to the problem without critcal thinking is generally useless.

I believe that a tutor should be friendly with the student so that the student can freely discuss the problems with his/her tutor.

Again asking the student questions about the topic can help…

I think the most important thing is to understand the student's cognitive ability and be able to relate to their world. Giving them examples using whatever they're into, for example, cartoons/video games, in order to teach a concept goes a long way. There isn't a bible when it comes to teaching, it's an evolving process, which gets better over…

Local Reviews

Amir has been fantastic and Riley has really enjoyed his sessions.

Inside West MelbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised long division and worked on times tables, reinforcing strategies for multi-digit calculations.

In Year 10, Hamish focused on solving systems of linear equations using elimination and revisited the distance formula between two points, building understanding through step-by-step problem walkthroughs.

For Year 11, Mia explored function notation and transformations, including graphing piecewise-defined functions and finding inverses with attention to domain and range.

Recent Challenges

Homework was not always completed on time by a Year 10 student, with missed textbook practice slowing progress in mastering functions and quadratic equations.

In Year 7 maths, "she still has a slight habit of inconsistency in her intermediary steps," which led to confusion when working through times tables beyond 5.

A senior chemistry student became overwhelmed by the volume of new content, leading to unfinished assignments and less focus during sessions after school tests—"the amount of information is overwhelming and it is hard to know what to focus on." This left key revision tasks incomplete before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in West Melbourne noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with redox reactions is now consistently finding oxidation states correctly after targeted practice.

Another high schooler has started asking for more challenging math questions, showing real initiative—last week, she independently worked through rectangular hyperbola problems that used to cause confusion.

At the primary level, one student cut her 10-times-table timing nearly in half (from over eight minutes to just four), and now volunteers to explain her steps out loud without prompting.

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 North Melbourne Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Haileybury College - City Boys.
