A tutor should be able to empathise with students and see the source of their struggles, and be able to find personalised ways to help them solve their problems. I can understand frustrating topics that I found difficult when I was in their shoes and can offer methods I used to deal with such…

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…

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…

Chemistry Tutor Ferntree Gully, VIC
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,…

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.

I consider empowering students’ critical thinking as one of the most important things that a tutor can do.

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…

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…

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.

Thank you, Harold! I appreciate your expertise, professionalism and kindness in helping me think through some problems to help my son in his math class.

Inside The BasinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Daniel worked on building confidence with times tables and understanding fractions, using visual aids for tricky concepts.

In Year 10, Sarah practised solving simultaneous equations and strengthened her grasp of linear graphing through real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack focused on applying calculus to rates of change and integration problems, followed by revision of exponential and logarithmic equations in preparation for exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, skipping working steps in calculus ("he sometimes makes small mistakes due to skipping working steps which results in errors") led to incorrect answers that could have been caught with clearer layout.

For a Year 8 student, forgetting area and volume rules made it hard to tackle multi-step geometry problems; laying out problems more systematically was flagged as essential for future study.

In VCE revision, one student hesitated to revisit tough questions after setbacks—confidence wavered instead of retrying with fresh eyes.

During Year 12 exam prep, unclear use of formulas meant time was lost re-reading questions rather than solving them.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in The Basin noticed some real shifts recently. In Year 12, Jazz had previously struggled with advanced differentiation problems, but this week she managed to solve nearly all book questions on her own, only needing help for one particularly complex example.

For a Year 9 student, Jess had trouble reading and drawing graphs just two weeks ago; now she can confidently graph and interpret data without support.

Meanwhile, Hayden in primary school used to avoid practicing his times tables between lessons—now he completes them independently and even explains fraction concepts using models like pizza slices.

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 Boronia Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School.
