Tutor Burnley, VIC
Listen to what the student actually wants help with and find out the root cause of why they are stuck or confused. The teacher needs to work together with the student, not against them. I am training to become a teacher and so I have a good understanding of how learning can occur, especially for students. I have been able to help students in the…

A tutor can be like a friend to a student. He should have patience, understand the challenges the student is facing and be able to motivate the student. He should be empathetic and build a good rapport with the student. I think it would be very important to give a regular update to the parents about the progress of the student. I have a strong…

A tutor is different from a teacher/instructor at school. A tutor should know the strengths and weaknesses of a student in order to assist them accordingly. A tutor must be able to identify gaps in understanding in concepts and make sure to clarify the same in a patient manner. I believe I have the patience to teach and make sure the students have…

I believe the most important thing that a tutor can do is guide and support a student in their knowledge. For me, I found it the most helpful when a tutor was able to provide formulas or structures for solving problems, which allowed me to tackle whatever questions I was tasked me. As a student, I have a love of learning and an innate sense of…

I have always had a knack for providing a new and creative approach to a challenging problem. I believe that even if a child is positive they do not understand a topic, that I will be able to find a way their brain can understand it. One of my revision methods throughout year 12 was to teach my friends and family my coursework to solidify my…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide a tailor-fit learning environment for them. A tutor must be considerate of every student in any way, shape, or form. This way, the student would feel more comfortable with the tutor and soon enough, they will see these subjects are enjoyable in their own way. I believe that I have…

Be supportive and patient understanding everyone learns at a different pace and ways. Also, acknowledging that some content is more difficult than others to some people and that is fine.

I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a tutor's action, as it is the…

A tutor should be able to teach their students in an interesting manner, and be more personal.

Most importantly a tutor…

Inside RichmondTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sam worked on reviewing questions missed in Maths Space, with a focus on statistics and interpreting data sets.

For Year 8, Mia covered the foundations of algebra including expanding brackets and factoring, then practiced graphing parabolas using turning point form.

In Year 10, Liam reviewed motion concepts such as velocity and displacement through problem-solving exercises, and tackled chemistry mole calculations to strengthen quantitative analysis skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 exam preparation, one student's revision focused mainly on familiar question types, avoiding harder Units 1 and 2 calculation problems. "She got these wrong on the exam, so this will be our next focus."

In a Year 8 algebra session, work was often messy and steps were skipped—making it hard to spot where mistakes happened.

A primary student hesitated to show working in fraction problems out of fear of being wrong; as a tutor noted, "he needs more confidence to go with his gut instinct."

These patterns led to repeated errors and slowed progress in mastering new material.

Recent Achievements

One Richmond tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through questions now takes time to read each one carefully, catching details she previously missed.

In a senior session, another student who had struggled with algebra last term is now confidently recognising like terms and solving equations without prompting—last week, he finished all assigned problems independently for the first time.

A younger student also surprised her tutor by starting to ask clarifying questions during lessons rather than guessing quietly; this shift meant she solved several tricky fraction problems correctly on her own.

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 Richmond Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bindjiroo Yaluk Community School-Richmond Campus.
