Tutor Ferny Creek, VIC
Improving the confidence of the student is key. The student should evolve to have more trust in themselves and their abilities and be able to apply this. The most important thing I could do for the student is to help them achieve their own personal best and be motivated to achieve. I am a good listener. I apply this to pinpointing the key areas…

As a tutor, the most integral thing for a student to succeed is their interest in studying. Unless a student does not want to learn and succeed, they cannot achieve this, so it is important for tutors to inspire and encourage students during sessions. Explaining concepts to students, listening to students, and making classes fun through enthusiasm…

(1) Honesty helps to establish rapport and trust, the two most critical elements to a successful tutoring relationship, and (2) flexibility: willing to adjust techniques and approaches to meet the learning styles of the student. I have good listening skills, and I believe I have the ability to rather quickly understand the emotions and problems…

Learning is a key to understanding and appreciating the complex beauty of life - enriching the life of the individual. It is one of the key foundations a tutor can establish for their students. A child who has failed to 'keep up' with learning, to understand a concept or course of study, will tend to drop further behind, and attempt to mask…

Without a doubt, I believe it is essential for a tutor to nurture and grow self-belief within their students beyond anything else. Self-belief is perhaps the most pivotal factor in deciding academic success as well as personal success, and thus I see it as an important quality for a tutor to develop . Whilst a tutor should also be avaliable,…

A tutor should take responsibility for a student.

First and foremost, the tutor needs to help the student fully understand all the core concepts. Comprehending the underlying logic and reasoning in mathematical concepts, and the skill to be able to apply these to problems, are necessary for success in mathematics. After that comes exam or test-specific advice: what working markers expect, how to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. A tutor's job is not to just teach the student, but to bring out the best of the student and a tutor cannot do that unless they listen to the student.

I do think it's very important a student never feels judged or stressed from the pressure of learning, as that can taint their experience for a long time before they are comfortable again to engage actively.

I think the most important part of tutoring is making sure students feel heard and supported, especially when it comes to the areas they find challenging. In a classroom with one teacher and many students, it can be hard to get one-on-one help. A tutor can fill that gap by providing personalised support and creating a safe space where students…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to find the best ways to help students learn.

Inside MonbulkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on adding and subtracting fractions as well as practicing 24-hour time to support current classwork.

In Year 10, Vien focused on developing main arguments for a practice essay and refined sentence structure for greater clarity.

For Year 11, Tanya revised algebraic factorisation methods such as the difference of perfect squares and practiced grouping techniques using recent worksheets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes avoided harder maths tasks, choosing to revise only familiar material—"he'd pick known topics and leave the rest," one tutor observed—leading to patchy confidence when new problems arose.

In Year 6, another student repeatedly forgot to bring in school homework and relied on verbal explanations rather than writing out her working, especially in big-number calculations.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 English learner's strong ideas were often lost due to "wordy language" and uncertainty about how best to communicate them during essay planning. This hesitance left some arguments underdeveloped during practice SACs.

Recent Achievements

A Monbulk tutor noticed a real shift in Vien's approach to essay writing—after struggling with unclear paragraphs, he was able to spot what made his second attempt much clearer and even proofread for errors himself.

In Year 9 maths, Maya went from needing her notes for every division question to finishing a timed speed round in just two minutes without any prompts—a huge leap from previous weeks where she hesitated and double-checked each step.

Lizzie, a senior student, began actively challenging ideas during text analysis sessions; instead of just accepting feedback, she introduced her own interpretations while embedding quotes confidently.

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 Monbulk Reading Room—or at your child's school (with permission), like Monbulk Primary School.
