Shirish

English Tutor Mount Helen, VIC
Give them the time and knowledge that a regular school teacher cannot as they're taking responsibility of a larger class, unlike a private tutor who teaches one on one in a more friendly home environment. My strength is my strong math and engineering background and my many years of experience as a private math tutor as well as university teacher…

James

English Tutor Bakery Hill, VIC
The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to be honest, collaborate in their learning journey, and give them learning strategies. Students benefit from having a tutor they trust who is honest with them on their current strengths and weaknesses and who also inspires confidence that the weaknesses can be overcome.…

Inside Cambrian HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Greta focused on negative numbers and algebraic expansion, as well as reviewing like terms using brackets and constants.

Year 10 student Henry worked through trigonometry concepts including labelling sides of right-angled triangles, applying SOH CAH TOA, and using calculators to find unknown values.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Charlotte practised graphing quadratic equations, finding roots and focal points, along with revisiting the completion of the square method for solving quadratics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student "tends not to double-check answers," leading to small mistakes that dent confidence—especially when visual aids become less practical with harder fraction or equation problems.

For a Year 11 student tackling induction and surds, skipping steps in rationalising quotients or misunderstanding negated statements made complex proofs more error-prone; as noted, "there is a serious level of misunderstanding of how induction and negated statements work."

In primary maths, a student struggled with keeping written work clear and organised during subtraction tasks, which muddied where the real difficulty lay for both tutor and learner.

Recent Achievements

One Cambrian Hill tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially struggling to form equations independently, now confidently applies the quadratic formula with minimal help and can set up most problems on his own.

A senior student made a clear leap in probability: she can now determine the intersection of events accurately—previously a sticking point—and works through complex tables without prompts.

In a primary session, one student who used to make consistent errors identifying fractions within arrays started grouping dots correctly by the third exercise and recognised equivalent fractions by counting rather than guessing.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have been very pleased with the approach Darrell has used with our daughter. He has been very personable and works at developing a relationship with our daughter while teaching her. She has responded well and feels more confident with her maths skills. She received positive feedback from her teacher after only two sessions with Darrell and she is confidently waiting for the results of her test. Darrell has always been polite, on time and communicates well with us. We appreciate his support.

Joseph is a legend.  The feedback from Max has been great, and what he is doing is excellent.   I am really impressed with his work and the effect it seems to be having. Thanks!

Oscar is finding the tutoring very helpful in realizing he is able to "do maths". He is feeling a lot more positive in general at this time and we hope that the gradual improvement he makes will continue to provide a source of self belief and positive thinking. He is very comfortable working with Kirsty and is keen to continue with her.

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