In my opinion, a tutor is most useful when marked improvement can be seen where a student struggles, often shown through grades or confidence. As a tutor I have loved giving students the feeling of empowerment when they both truly understand and can apply content I have explained. My people-person personality makes getting along with people…

It is important for a tutor to be approachable and friendly so a student can ask questions and feel comfortable doing so. Additionally, it is important that a tutor is well educated as they are providing information and must be able to convey it correctly. Finally, discipline and understanding, a tutor must understand how to approach and aid their…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be understanding and compassionate. At times it can be a bit difficult to tutor a student who is lacking in understanding, but it is always important for a tutor to be compassionate towards a student who is struggling and should always stay calm and work through the content step by step.…

I think as much as it has to do with academics, it has a lot to do with mental health and the overall well-being of the student, too. They don't necessarily have to tell a tutor anything; they just need to know that this is someone they could potentially confide in. This also helps boost academic progress. And for a more technical aspect of…

A tutor must be willing to work with and adapt for each student. It is critical to not treat tutoring as one-size-fits-all - indeed many students may be getting a tutor because standard learning methods aren't working for them. It is also essential that tutors create a safe learning space where students are free to ask questions and give opinions.…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to motivate them. The process of learning can never be linear.

And others may struggle with the concepts even after going through the…

Brandon has given Max some helpful tips and he has been patient in his anticipation of Max understanding the concepts they have covered thus far. Max likes Brandon and can relate to him. I know it has only been a couple of weeks but have no doubt the one on one contact is helping at this stage.

Inside ChelseaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ella focused on working with fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) as well as solving equations involving a few extra steps.

Year 10 student Max tackled methods for factorising quadratics and was introduced to logarithms through guided practice problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack worked on rules for differentiating polynomials and applied these skills to find tangent and normal lines using graphs of derivatives.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working through non-routine quadratic and function problems often avoided showing full working, especially when identifying which method of factorising quadratics is required for which question—as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This led to confusion when revisiting solutions.

In Year 8 algebra sessions, messy written work made it difficult to check calculations or spot arithmetic slips.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student regularly forgot to bring key materials for subtraction practice; this meant time was lost setting up before starting any sums.

Recent Achievements

One Chelsea tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to struggle with worded problems now quickly converting scenarios into equations and even drawing diagrams without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 11 student who'd hesitated with polynomial long division was able to perform it smoothly and then independently identify key points of cubics in point of inflection form.

Meanwhile, one younger primary learner, Asha, surprised her tutor by solving addition problems in her head much faster than before—she finished her work quickly and correctly for the first time.

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 Patterson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oakwood School-Oakwood School VCAL Campus.
