The most important thing according to me is to get my point across crystal clear, whether it takes days or even if it takes to apologize for a mistake previously made. I would always own my actions and make an effort. Every child is important and so it is very important to understand that each one of them works at a different pace and one has to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is understand the student’s point of view and teach in a fun, engaging way that makes it easier for them to learn. Tutors should have a genuine interest in helping their students learn. My strengths are that I have experience as a tutor, I’m friendly and patient, and because I was recently a high…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Many students who need tutoring feel frustrated, embarrassed, or discouraged, and it’s crucial for a tutor to help rebuild their confidence. A tutor should also be flexible, recognizing that every student learns differently and…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are build trust, encourage genuine confidence, and teach students how to learn independently. It's not just about helping them get through one subject or assignment, it's about giving them the skills and self-belief they can carry with them into everything else they do. I think my main strengths…

Be understanding and empower them. IF they are struggling, the ability to stop them from being frustrated or minimize it is the most important skill other than being good at explaining concepts. And empowering a student to make them believe they can accomplish what they want is the goal of tutoring. I'm very calm so when they seem to be struggling…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is believe in them and their abilities. For many students it is often their lack of belief in themselves that holds them back from fully trying to understand the topic. Building this and building their confidence is key.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and create a safe space for the student. When tutors don't listen it'll be a waste of time for both parties.

I believe personalisation is the most important thing a tutor can do.

Yet you must also be able to alter this plan throughout the lesson in order to focus on where the student is…

Make sure that the student is following along and that they understand that the teaching process is entirely at their pace. As well as have the confidence to be able to comment on things that they don't understand.

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make that student interested in what they are learning. Although students may not enjoy every aspect of what they're learning, if they can find even one thing that they enjoy, this could be enough. I am patient, determined, and kind to those that I tutor. So, I think that…

The most important thing a tutor can do is be encouraging and have faith in the student.

Encourage them to pursue their dreams. Teach them to be lifelong learners. I believe you have completely understood the concept when you can simplify it entirely.

Inside MalabarTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lucas worked through multiplication and division of fractions as well as applying their understanding to perimeter and area in geometry using visual examples.

In Year 8, Sophie focused on solving inequalities and graphing them on number lines, then expanded her skills by practicing shortcuts for multiplying fractions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student James tackled trigonometry concepts alongside bivariate data analysis, with targeted exam prep questions to reinforce application and interpretation of results.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student's written work was flagged as needing clearer setting out—"Setting out still needs work"—making it harder to catch errors in multi-step maths.

For a Year 10 English task, last-minute communication meant the tutor only learned about an assessment deadline on the day it was due; as noted, "Student has unfortunately relayed information that their assessment was due that very day."

In senior maths (Year 12), anxiety and lack of confidence led to hesitancy in tackling new topics, which left the student feeling overwhelmed rather than progressing steadily through compound interest questions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Malabar noted that a Year 9 student, who previously hesitated to ask for clarification, is now openly seeking help when confused and has started correcting mistakes independently after feedback.

In a recent high school session, one student showed new independence by recalling formulas from memory and successfully applying them to solve equations without prompts—last term, this same student struggled with remembering steps.

Meanwhile, a primary schooler who once rushed through mental maths tasks now takes time to set out work logically and checks each answer before moving on.

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 Malabar Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Matraville Sports High School.
