Engineering Studies Tutor Golden Gully, VIC
Aside from teaching academics, it is important that the tutor understands the student and gives advice on how to be a better student such as being motivated, confident, and of course to see the benefits of the education that they have access to. My strengths as a tutor would be my patience and motivation. I am happy when my students enjoy what…

My daughter felt comfortable with Joseph from the first lesson. Joseph is polite and fits into the household routine. My daughter feels more confident with maths after only a few sessions. I would recommend Joseph for any young person.

Inside Big HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ethan worked through Pythagoras' theorem and linear equations in maths, then learned to summarise research in his own words for English.

Year 8 student Olivia practised writing an essay on the novel "Wonder" and solved introductory trigonometry problems, using diagrams for bearings.

For Year 9, Daniel focused on expanding and factorising algebraic expressions in maths while developing arguments and refining paragraphs for an ongoing English essay.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student had trouble maintaining a regular homework routine, leading to missed opportunities for reinforcing new maths concepts; "Important ALL homework is attempted," noted one tutor.

In Year 11, a student's confidence dropped after setbacks in algebraic graphing—when asked about previous tests, materials couldn't be located, stalling targeted revision.

For a Year 7 learner, messy working and unclear number alignment during addition tasks meant avoidable calculation errors crept in and time was spent double-checking rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, an upper-primary student rushed through spelling assignments due to fatigue at term's end, resulting in incomplete practice and weaker recall the following week.

Recent Achievements

One Big Hill tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now actively flags when he's stuck, making real progress with tricky worded maths problems.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, the tutor saw her push past earlier nerves to deliver a well-structured oral presentation—she even asked for feedback on how to improve further.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 5, who often struggled to finish homework, brought in an organised folder and proudly completed all assigned tasks on time for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

Morgan has responded very well already with Hazel.  She said her explanations of problems has made her maths much more easier. We are very happy with Hazel.

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 Kangaroo Flat Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Big Hill Primary School.
