Science Tutor Capel Sound, VIC
Adapting to a students learning style. Each student learns differently and to be able to teach the same content in different ways is definitely important. Also connecting with the student, ensuring they feel confident and connected to make mistakes and ask questions. My strengths are definitely the fact that I’m a teacher, I have experience,…

Science Tutor Tootgarook, VIC
I worked as a Teacher's Aide and I personally believe it is almost being a friend. You want them to trust you and believe in what you are teaching/preaching. Their growth can only come if they trust and have faith in you. Being young and easy to connect with. Very positive and always carrying a beaming smile. I have a strong mathematics background…

I'd like to say how pleased I have been to have Michelle as our tutor. Michelle is hard working and diligent, a gifted teacher and communicator who has helped Katie and Sam improve tremendously in confidence and ability over the last 3.5 years.

Inside BoneoTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Mira worked on measurement concepts and reviewed shape identification alongside basic addition and subtraction.

In Year 8, Willow focused on solving linear equations and tackling more complex fraction operations, using step-by-step breakdowns for clarity.

For Year 9, lessons with Sam included applying the index laws to simplify algebraic expressions and practising graphing linear equations by plotting points and drawing straight-line graphs.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, Riley often avoided writing out his working—preferring to talk through problems or attempt mental calculations. As a tutor noted, "he attempts to do all his working in his head," which led to lost steps and confusion when simplifying fractions or solving equations.

During graphing tasks, skipping labels and not recording axis intercepts made it harder for him to check answers or spot errors.

Meanwhile, Willow (Year 8) repeatedly submitted incomplete homework and rarely showed detailed steps in algebra practice; this habit meant mistakes went unnoticed until review time.

Gracie (Year 5) hesitated to attempt unfamiliar questions without encouragement, leading her to leave sections blank during long multiplication drills—her confidence dipped after each missed answer.

Recent Achievements

During a Boneo tutoring session, Willow began to solve complex fractions and percentage problems in her head after previously needing step-by-step guidance. She's also now taking on extra work unprompted.

Riley recently started expanding brackets and collecting like terms without hesitation, marking a shift from his earlier confusion with algebraic notation. He has grown noticeably quicker at mental calculations during lessons.

Gracie in primary school has gone from feeling overwhelmed by place value to managing complex numbers independently, and she is now welcoming the challenge of Year 8 maths ahead of schedule.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Please be advised that I would like to cease the tutoring services of your company. My boy has greatly benefited from the tutoring of Robin who has shown great patience, ability and caring. I did inform Robin last night that I was not continuing with tutoring as I feel Liam is now back on the Maths track. If I need further assistance, I'll give you a call. Thanks (especially to Robin).

Yes, Lauren is fantastic!! Jesse is actually enjoying the work and doing Lauren's set homework (and it's the holidays)! Thank you so much!

thanks for your enquiry.  Isabella is enjoying her time with Manisha and the topics they are covering are all starting to sink in.  Isabella likes they way Manisha explains things to her and feels comfortable in asking questions. Manisha seems like a very capable person and I like her professional manner in all things.  At end of each lesson, she runs through with me what has been covered and leaves Isabella with some tips and exercises to go over during the week. I am pleased with how things are progressing and will continue until Isabella feels like she is at a place where she no longer requires assistance.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Boneo Primary School.
