Psychology Tutor Cairnlea, VIC
Help them gain confidence, and for them to do the best they can. Students that require tutoring are often ones that lack confidence in a subject area. Tutors are there to strengthen and encourage them. Breaking down difficult concepts and passing on my knowledge to students. Also, finding where a student has difficulty and working with them to…

Psychology Tutor Burnside, VIC
I believe that a tutor is not there to chastise and 'drill' concepts into a student's mind. The best thing that a tutor can do for their student is to create a positive, uplifting and supportive learning environment. This ensures that students feel comfortable to learn and improve so that they can approach their mistakes not with self-doubt and a…

Being willing to help, but also acknowledge the rare instances where a tutor may be unable to help to a confident level. I believe it is better to acknowledge if you do not know something rather than pretend you do and risk teaching something that is incorrect. When this problem is encountered, however, it is up to the tutor to rectify this by…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is equipping the student with the resources and tips they need to be able to be good and excel at a subject. Especially in english, it is important for the student to have the knowledge and analytical way of thinking to really excel and i think once they have been taught how to think this way they…

Psychology Tutor Braybrook, VIC
Tutors are someone students can rely on for academic assistance. I recognise that the role of tutors is to aid students in their educational pathways and help students in realising their true academic capabilities, constantly providing constructive feedback for areas of improvement. It is also important to have understanding as the VCE process is…

Establishing a rapport where the teacher can impart knowledge to the students in a way that the latter look up to the former. Understanding where the students come from, empathising with them but being assertive just the same are key factors to assist students learn in an easier yet effective manner. As a tutor I try to maintain assertiveness…

Psychology Tutor Keilor Downs, VIC
One of the most important things a teacher can do for their student is to listen. Not to listen to think of the next response but to listen to understand. I believe as a teacher listening specifically to WHAT the student is asking not HOW they are asking it is one of the most valuable and important skills I've learned to develop. When a student is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is make sure that the students understand the concepts thoroughly. It is so important for students to understand the concepts rather than just solving questions in a particular order and hoping for the best. A tutor should be able to provide students with a safe space so they feel…

Psychology Tutor Delahey, VIC
Not everyone thinks in the same way or is at the same level as you are. So, you need to have a variety of techniques or skills on hand in order to help a child understand what they are learning. I am patient and can think from others' point of view. I can tell when a child may be struggling and am able to sense when what I'm doing doesn't make…

Definitely support the student, always be there if they need help with questions and a crucial quality that a good tutor must have is patience in my opinion. As some students are not fast learners and thats okay, I am patient and would find alternative ways to make sure they understand at the end of the day. I believe coming into lessons with a…

Tracking their learning. I believe that it is crucial to know where the student is on their learning ladder as well as their strengths and weaknesses. When their lessons are tailored while considering these aspects, it makes it easy for them to grasp new concepts quickly as they are challenging but not too hard, not too easy and just the right…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be a good mentor and teacher.

Inside DerrimutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emma revised quadratic equations and functions, focusing on graph interpretation and problem-solving; Year 10 student Lucas tackled trigonometry by graphing sine and cosine functions, along with a review of transformations to strengthen his foundation; meanwhile, Year 3 student Zoe practiced multiplication facts and solved word problems involving money using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, one student was "a bit lax with her homework," leading to missed practice on application questions and slower progress in trigonometry graphing.

In a senior English session, skipping questions when unsure meant some tasks were left incomplete and unattempted until prompted.

A Year 5 learner's written work was described as "hard to follow," with untidy layout making it difficult to check for errors—especially in multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly avoided challenging multiplication questions, returning only to familiar material and requiring frequent reminders to persist when tasks became unfamiliar or effortful.

Recent Achievements

One Derrimut tutor noted a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess at problems but now regularly asks for help when stuck, especially during complex homework—she completed nearly all tasks this week and initiated questions on her own.

A high schooler in Year 9 has started challenging herself by choosing harder questions for practice, getting them right on recent assignments after previously sticking only to basics.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to recite times tables can now confidently recall them aloud without prompting and tackled double-digit multiplication with less support than before.

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 Brimbank Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Derrimut Primary School.
