Chemistry Tutor Kilsyth, VIC
Like I briefly mentioned earlier, I think it is important to look at being a mentor rather than a teacher. It is a far more personal and direct experience working with one or maybe a few students at a time rather than an entire classroom, so it is vital to establish actual relationships with your students and ensure that they can apply the work…

Chemistry Tutor Bayswater, VIC
I believe it is important for a tutor to always take time to properly understand problems that a student could be having with whatever they are trying to understand and consider the best ways to help the student to understand the question in a way that works well with the student's learning. I am patient and willing to take the time to work…

Simply put, identify the gaps in knowledge that are preventing a student from understanding and mastering a concept and thus targeting them. Instead of getting students to memories how to answer certain question, teach them the process of answering a question. Why we do this and why this gets us the answer. I believe my strengths are specifically…

Chemistry Tutor Bayswater North, VIC
I consider empowering students’ critical thinking as one of the most important things that a tutor can do. Giving them some time and a little guidance to figure out or understand certain concepts on their own is something I believe to be in the student’s best interest. Building confidence and passion for learning and expanding the knowledge…

Chemistry Tutor Bayswater North, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is instill a sense of confidence, which comes as a result of teaching them concepts they previously found challenging. Additionally, the ultimate goal is to naturally better the students in the subject they whish to excel in. I believe my strengths are explaining the processes methodically and…

Help then understand the concepts, rather than just telling them, show examples, things they can relate to and answer questions such as "why?" rather than just state a paragraph from theory i was once a student who had multiple tutors, and im confident that i'll be able to explain concepts and help students understand what they are learning,…

Inspiration and motivation. Encouraging students to like the material they study, and want to master the subject's content to achieve their academic goals. Patience and vision. I'm able to listen to others to understand their perception of a given problem to see where a lack of understanding is. Then, guide the student to understand the theory…

A tutor should build a student’s confidence, adapt to their learning style, and create a supportive environment. Encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving helps them become independent learners. One of my biggest strengths as a tutor is adaptability - I adjust my teaching style to match each student’s learning needs. I’m patient and…

Inside OlindaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on building speed and confidence with times tables using flashcards, and explored area and perimeter through practical problems.

In Year 10, Vien worked on refining practice essay arguments and re-wording sentences for clarity in preparation for an upcoming SAC.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Tanya reviewed a recent persuasive writing task by brainstorming main ideas and practiced analysing political speeches to identify persuasive techniques.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student preparing for English assessments sometimes avoids writing full essay drafts at home, instead focusing on brainstorming ideas during sessions. As one tutor noted, "the booklet is a work in progress, needs more added."

In Year 6 maths, Maya struggled to complete homework independently and often forgot to bring required materials from school, leading to gaps in practice—especially with times tables.

A Year 11 student working on language analysis tended to rush written responses without planning sentences, resulting in unclear arguments and missed marks under test conditions. This pattern left key feedback unaddressed before SAC deadlines.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Olinda recently saw a big shift in Maya's approach to maths: after weeks of hesitation, she now tackles division speed rounds without checking her notes and finished 10 questions in just 3.5 minutes—down from six minutes the week before.

In high school English, Lizzie moved beyond simply repeating ideas; last session, she analysed a complex poem independently and explained its deeper meanings with little prompting, something she'd avoided before.

Another high school student, Vien, who used to skip proofreading, has started spotting errors himself and reworking his paragraphs for clarity without being asked.

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 Olinda Primary School.
