If the tutor possesses these qualities, then the student will stay motivated and positive too, and will want to continue learning. As a high academic achiever, I strive to teach new students and help them to achieve their academic goals. I am motivated to…

Its not only good that an english tutor should have a good command of his core area of specialty, he/she must also be able to pass the knowledge across in a way the students will comprehend.

I believe the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to not only allow the student to prosper in the subject I'd be tutoring them in, but to also vision the student to find love and passion in the subject they are learning, as ultimately I believe passion in that subject is needed to prosper in it.

I think the most important thing is to instil them with confidence, as I have found that this is one of the biggest problems that slow down the understanding of something. Something new can look very daunting, especially when it comes to maths. Because of my experience a a recent student, I can more easily understand the road blocks that cause…

A tutor is someone who can help to support and strengthen students' self-efficacy one-on-one. This is extremely important as classroom teachers have to manage multiple students in a classroom and cannot provide the same undivided attention as an english tutor can. Tutors instil confidence in their students, assist them in unpacking and…

The most important thing that I, as an english tutor, can do for a student is support. To support them through whatever it is they do. To know that you have someone who is waiting to consolidate what they learned at school and help them in their understanding. Someone who reminds them that they can do anything they put their minds to and to…

Two things: One: Listening and observing. Sometimes in tutoring you focus so much on the schoolwork and learning and bypass the learning experience. Being keen and observing the student\'s behaviour, mode of communication, body language etc, you can meet them at their level and once they feel understood, not looked down on and safe, then they are…

Confidence is a key element that tutors can either instil or take away from a student. All children are born with a capacity to learn and it is our job to help them realise their great potential. In saying that, tutors must always be kind, encouraging and supportive of a child so that they can be confident enough to venture into the unknown and…

I feel that a necessary skill of a tutor is to be both a great listener and team player. Because in the end, for a student to succeed and thrive there has to be a positive and motivating relationship between the student and the teacher; so that they can only go up. Having had experience teaching aquatic skills to children and adults, I've found…

Inside WhittleseaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Vikram focused on assessing strengths and weaknesses in English, including reading comprehension and grammar.

In Year 8, Jessica worked through fractions and decimals, tackling mixed-number calculations and basic operations using practical examples.

For Year 10, Olivia revised factorising equations—both with common factors and the difference of two squares—and also practiced solving quadratic equations by different methods to prepare for her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, forgetting to bring key class materials meant a student could not attempt set homework or reference worked examples—"she didn't have her workbook, so we couldn't check last week's problems."

For a Year 11 Methods student, skipping written working and relying on mental calculations led to hidden arithmetic errors; as one tutor observed, "he tried solving equations in his head but missed obvious mistakes."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner often avoided feedback on creative writing drafts, making it hard to improve narrative flow and descriptive detail. Without addressing these habits, frustration grew each session.

Recent Achievements

One Whittlesea tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to speak up now clearly explains when she's stuck and even shared her own method for tackling maths problems.

A high schooler in Year 11, after struggling with factorisation, could by the end of their session accurately spot patterns and use the correct methods without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who often needed lots of reminders stayed focused through an entire lesson on improper fractions and finished all her assigned questions independently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Very happy with the way it is going thanks Gene. Benedict is a good tutor and Saf and I are both happy with her progress.

All going well. Aisling has connected well with Anthony and he feels that the tutoring is helping.

Karla's tutoring is going very well. Hilario has a lovely manner and approach and Karla seems to be getting on very well with him. They have talked about getting the basics right and he's teaching her tips to remember key things as Karla becomes very stressed in exams and cannot concentrate. So hopefully this approach will help.

Local Spots for Tutoring
