English Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

Mick

English Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
The single most important aspect for an english tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off.…

Kyle

English Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
The most important thing in my opinion is helping the student understand the problem, simply completing the problem for them helps no-one. If a tutor can do this, then the student should be able to complete any problem. Secondly, I think that it is important to treat the student as if they are an equal. Students who require tutoring generally…

Inside BatesfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Phoebe revised indices in preparation for her exam, focusing on simplifying and evaluating index expressions.

In Year 10, Max tackled the discriminant and turning points within quadratic equations, using graphing to visualise how these features change with different parameters.

For Year 9, Emily practised solving probability problems using tree diagrams and Venn diagrams to compare outcomes of multi-step experiments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student repeatedly missed key details in measurement and conversion questions because the prompt wasn't read carefully—one session noted, "he did that today with one question concerning the conversion of units."

For a Year 9 algebra topic, another student admitted to getting distracted during lessons, especially when tired after school: "It happens, Zack did comment he was a little tired from the day's school lessons."

In both cases, not slowing down to fully process instructions or letting outside distractions creep in led to avoidable errors and some frustration during practice.

Recent Achievements

One Batesford tutor noticed a real shift with Zack, a high school student who previously hesitated to ask questions but now regularly pauses to seek clarification when something's unclear—he even back-checks his answers instead of moving on if he gets stuck.

In another session, Aiden, also in high school, has started laying out every step of his solutions neatly and talks through his reasoning aloud, showing much more initiative than before when he'd quietly muddle through mistakes.

Meanwhile, Hudson in Year 7 tackled a tricky fractions exercise by confidently explaining each step out loud and then successfully completed all set problems without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Very happy with Luke at the moment. Billie seems keen and is interested in what Luke is showing her. That's a step forward for her when it comes to Maths.

It's going very well so far and Caitlin and Isabella have bonded very well Her confidence is already increasing so I think this will be a good arrangement

Yes we are very happy with Georgia and Catrina seems to be enjoying maths again. I have also recommended Georgia to another parent at my daughters school

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 Corio Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rollins Primary School-Batesford Campus.
