A tutor should provide clear explanations, encourage critical thinking, and build a student’s confidence in their abilities. It's also essential to foster a growth mindset, helping students understand that challenges are opportunities for learning rather than obstacles. Moreover, a chemistry tutor should be a mentor, guiding students toward…

I believe patience is key. Its important for a chemistry tutor to recognize that every student learns differently, and our role is to explain concepts in multiple ways with positivity and encouragement. I also believe that providing more than just academic support is crucial and helping students build confidence and develop effective learning…

Chemistry Tutor Frankston, VIC
I believe the most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student are to build confidence, provide clarity, and encourage curiosity. Building confidence is essential because students often struggle more with self-doubt than with the material itself. By being encouraging and celebrating progress, a tutor can help students trust their…

I think to provide a larger framework or paradigm for what they are learning. When something fits into a context for "why" they are learning a concept. Mainly being able to listen to the student. I think I'm enthusiastic about getting to know them and what they care about, which helps me teach. Rather than just trying to do a…

The most important things a chemistry tutor can do is to be able to break down complex concepts more digestible parts, making learning process less intimidating. Fostering a sense of confidence in the student, by creating a safe space for them to learn and grow accelerates this technique. It’s also crucial to adapt to the student’s needs,…

Just wanted to let you know that we had our first lesson with Dillon last Wednesday and first impressions of him are fabulous. What a lovely guy, very confident and friendly with a lovely approach and a great, firm handshake! She enjoyed meeting Dillon so on wards and upwards from here.

Inside BaxterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Vai worked through an Essential Assessment from school, carefully reviewing why certain maths answers were incorrect.

In Year 9, Jesse tackled probability questions focusing on set notation and completed chapter exercises from 8A while also learning strategies for organising homework and notes effectively.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia revised the rectangular hyperbola and truncus, breaking down graphing steps and discussing how to approach worded quadratic problems in detail.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, a student was "still quite far behind in the questions," needing external motivation to catch up and build trust in their own answers.

A Year 10 learner repeatedly tried to solve equations mentally instead of writing out steps, which led to confusion and falling further behind—especially when tackling algebra.

For VCE (Year 12) Maths Methods, another student's over-reliance on formulas without grasping core concepts left them stuck during worded problems; as one tutor noted, "He instinctively looks for a formula rather than understanding what is happening." In these moments, confidence wavered and progress slowed.

Recent Achievements

One Baxter tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student's independence—she started speaking her thought process out loud during algebra questions, which helped her solve them much faster than before when she'd stay quiet and get stuck.

In another session, a senior student who used to need frequent hints with calculus problems began connecting the right concepts to tricky worded questions on his own and required much less prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student made a breakthrough by finally grasping how to share objects equally for division after struggling with the idea last term, even finishing all ten practice problems without help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Alec is really enjoying his sessions with Matt. He finds Matt funny and easy to get along with. Alec tells me he has already started learning things he didn't know. We are very happy so far with Matt.

James has started very promisingly with Daniel which is great and I think even in the short space of time they have been together James is beginning to feel more confident with Daniel and his Maths in general.

Miranda is a wonderful, professional and patient tutor. The first day Marcus met her he opened up to her and feels really comfortable. He is so happy and enjoys tutoring.I think Miranda is a great fit for Marcus .

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 Somerville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodleigh School.
