I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a space where the student feels supported, understood, and genuinely confident in their ability to learn. Good tutoring isn’t just about explaining content, it’s about helping the student feel comfortable enough to ask questions, make mistakes, and work through challenges without…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to being able to support them as much as they can with their learning. When i was younger in school I always found myself to be more motivated when my teachers encouraged me in the classroom and comforted me when I was struggling. I believe that fostering a safe learning space where…

A tutor should be able to answer any questions the student throws at them and should not limit the student's imagination in any way, and should correct the student in a way the student doesn't get hurt and doesn't repeat the mistake. I think that the methods I use will help students understand the subject easily without confusing them and I…

A student looks up to a tutor for support and guidance. Hence, it is important for a tutor to be encouraging. A tutor must also be able to identify areas or misconception that requires remediation. At the same time, a tutor should not be spoon-feeding but provide sufficient guidance to allow the student to derive at the answer by himself. I am…

Since this is a 1-on-1 tutorial, the tutor must give full attention to the student. Also to find ways to make sessions enjoyable but not to the point of sacrificing the time for teaching.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to learn instead of teaching them the content just straight from the textbook.

Inside DovetonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Biology with Priya involved exploring biomacromolecules, particularly nucleic acids, and beginning work on gene expression by reviewing transcription and translation.

For Year 8 Maths, Zara tackled computation with integers in preparation for her test and then moved into geometry, focusing on angles, lines, and the concept of pi as an irrational number using a variety of worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ayaan worked through introductory algebra topics including adding like terms and expanding brackets, practising distributive law problems to strengthen his understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 Chemistry student hesitated to elaborate on the reactions behind polymer formation, as a tutor noted, "more detail was needed to understand the processes." This slowed lesson pacing and meant key concepts weren't fully explored.

In Year 11 Biology, missing or unclear note-taking made it harder for one student to distinguish gene expression terms—notes were provided, but confusion lingered.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 General Maths student lacked confidence in tackling worded problems and often paused mid-solution; her uncertainty led to unfinished answers.

When time management slipped in senior science lessons, essential content like enzyme denaturation remained uncovered until the next session.

Recent Achievements

A Doveton tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from feeling overwhelmed by algebra to independently solving complex expressions using the distributive law—a big step, as they'd previously hesitated to try without guidance.

In Year 11 biology, another student who struggled with gene expression began taking detailed notes and confidently answered questions about transcription, showing a real leap in understanding.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to guess on times tables now recalls them easily and works through order of operations problems solo; by lesson's end, they completed all set questions without needing help.

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 Doveton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Family School.
