I believe that creating a supportive learning environment is the most important factor. It's not just about helping them get the right answers, but also feeling capable and motivated in studing. A good tutor should provide consistent and patient guidance so that learning becomes less stressful. I'm patient and have the ability to explain concepts…

I believe that a good tutor will be patient and do their best to explain concepts in a way that the individual student will understand and also do their best to answer any questions. I also think a really important thing a tutor can do for a student is emphasise the importance of persisting and learning from failure. I also believe it is important…

Patience and an emphatic approach to teaching are essential for a tutor. Students may lack confidence, be overwhelmed with material, and be stressed. Therefore, it's important to be considerate and patient. This approach can also help understand students' misconceptions and errors by being patient, and listening to students can reveal what areas…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student interested in whatever subject they are learning. The best way to learn anything is to show genuine interest in that topic. Tutors should not only assist students in specific areas, they should also engage with the student in a manner that makes the student interested in…

Inside HigginsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Olivia explored linear inequalities and straight line graphing, then practised finding midpoints and distances between points on the Cartesian plane.

For Year 11, Ethan focused on differentiation of exponential functions and revisited natural logarithms through worksheet questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Anise strengthened her skills with chain rule applications for differentiating compound functions, including tackling extension problems involving more complex algebraic manipulation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often hesitated to ask for help, both in tutoring and class—this quiet avoidance left gaps in understanding during geometry tasks. "He rarely voiced confusion about triangle orientation," a tutor noted, so errors lingered.

In Year 11, incomplete homework was an issue: one week, missed assignments meant less time for review of formula application, stalling progress with complex problems.

Another senior student showed reluctance to write out working in algebra, preferring mental calculation; this hid mistakes and made it hard to catch sign errors.

Confidence dips after setbacks sometimes led to avoidance rather than targeted revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Higgins noticed a real shift for Jensen, a high schooler who used to hesitate but now arrives with his own questions and openly asks for help—something he never did at first.

In another recent session, Callan moved beyond just following steps; he started writing his own test cheat sheet and applying index laws independently after struggling to remember them last term.

Meanwhile, Molly (Year 5) quietly surprised her tutor by finishing all her maths homework on her own during the lesson, instead of needing reminders or step-by-step prompts as 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 Kippax Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kingsford Smith School.
