The biggest part of tutoring is adjusting to the various communication styles of each student, when students rely on visuals to understand a topic, the tutor needs to present graphs or sketches to exemplify formulas in a more visual manner when students prefer to learn using examples the topic needs to be translated into more tangible manners.…

I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student. Being able to have open conversations and earn students trust to offer constructive feedback that extends outside the lesson - e.g dealing with mental stress and study regimes - can be far more important to…

As said earlier, a tutor is not someone with a "rat-race" kind of approach to learning with zero engaging feats. The most important thing is being keen on motivation. Since I plan teaching students from a primary to higher level each level would require motivation in a very different way. For e.g. engaging primary level students with a minor…

I believe that creating open communication is a very important part of teaching. I consider the best way to connect with students is to create a positive learning environment and encourage interaction and discussion. A tutor also needs to be a role model for students so it is essential that they act responsibly and are polite and courteous to them…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence. It’s not just about helping them understand the material, but also making them feel like they’re capable of tackling challenges on their own. A tutor should also be patient and provide a safe space where students feel comfortable asking…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to be patient, listen carefully to what the student is struggling with, and explain things in a way that makes sense to them. It's also really important to encourage them, so they feel confident and motivated to keep trying, even when the topic is difficult. Clarity of my own concepts and the…

Helping students understand the importance of learning is the main key. Students need to learn the importance of an educational journey. A classroom of 20 plus students may not always give them the individual attention that is needed. a tutor can help bridge the gap for attention and contact that a classroom may not allow and thereby help students…

I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do. Whether it is simply listening to troubles they are having with a class or with life, listening to the student is very important. As someone who has studied a wide range of topics throughout high school and college, I feel like I have a wide range of expertise.…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

Providing adequate feedback is the most important trait of a tutor. A tutor must identify key areas of weakness especially for maths. They must also show a method that can be replicated to produce the best results. I am very good at using visual aids to demonstrate new concepts to the students. I am great at boosting the student's confidence as I…

I see no student a failure, and I will take their failure as my own. The most quintessential thing any tutor can do is adapt to the student's way of thinking and guide them to success. When you help others, you grow in the process. There is no important thing a tutor can do for a student apart from working on themselves to aid the student better…

A tutor should be able to make a student understand what they are doing by providing practical examples or situations and going step by step in the process.

Inside MelbaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Anise worked on applying the chain rule for differentiating compound functions and practiced algebraic manipulation within those problems.

For Year 11, Caledon focused on using radian measure in circular geometry and revising non-right angle trigonometry with the sine law.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Amit reviewed assignment content involving logarithms, exponentials, and explored how to use the second derivative to identify bimodal data points.

Recent Challenges

A lack of a clear lesson plan in one session led to darting between topics and reduced focus; as the tutor observed, "I will create a lesson plan for the next tutoring session."

In Year 11 maths, incomplete homework was an ongoing issue: Caledon repeatedly forgot to do assigned work, which limited review of new methods and delayed progress on organization strategies.

A Year 7 student avoided showing working in algebra problems, often writing just the answer—this meant missed chances to spot errors or build confidence.

Meanwhile, a senior student hesitated to ask for help even when confused by chain rule applications, echoing classroom reluctance and leaving gaps unaddressed.

Recent Achievements

One Melba tutor noted that a Year 8 student, who once hesitated to ask questions, now regularly prepares specific problems in advance and seeks help right at the start of each session.

In Year 11 maths, Anise showed clear growth by not only mastering differentiation but also independently applying integration to real-world area problems—something she struggled with before.

Meanwhile, a primary school student recently tackled more complex questions in class after weeks of basic practice; this was the first time they completed all end-of-lesson challenges without prompting from their tutor.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Melba Copland Secondary School Copland Campus Years 10 - 12.
