I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to allow the student to feel free to ask questions and to query explanations. This way, it allows for me to answer their initial query as well as giving me the opportunity to proactively infer other areas that they may not completely understand. My strengths are centred…

I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

In my opinion, the most importing things that a tutor can do is to make the students feel engaged and welcomed. In particular, learning should be a joyful experience for students instead of a burden. This means the student not only perform the tasks which the tutor instruct them to, but to be more open and curious to ask any questions outside the…

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.
