Collaborating with them. The tutor-student relationship should be viewed as a partnership. Keeping this at the forefront of lessons together will also promote important qualities such as patience and good listening skills that allow your student to feel comfortable enough to ask questions, express concerns or make mistakes. This also helps tutors…

Being honest, open and friendly. If a student can trust you, teaching becomes so much easier and so much more fun. Being organized and ready to teach content are qualities that are really important for a tutor since I firmly believe that you need to have a plan before doing anything. I am incredibly patient, friendly and hard working. This makes…

I believe a tutor is there to support the student, to clarify any doubts that the student may have, but also inspire them to learn more and expand their knowledge. As a tutor I can provide the students with not only support in their school homework, but also provide other resources like worksheets or suggest websites where they can practice their…

Being understanding, confident and respectful are key aspects in a tutor- student relationship. These three qualities ensure the reliability and integrity of the tutor. I also believe that showing my students I'm not always right is a good skill to teach (mostly these mistakes are unintentional). It is the manner in which one amends one's mistakes…

Being encouraging is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student.

Encouraging a student can ameliorate the stressful feelings associated…

Tutoring shouldn't just be limited to teaching the theory and just scribbling down some sums.

I personally consider the interactive and "adaptive" aspects of being a tutor to be the most important things a tutor can do for their student. In my opinion, keeping the student engaged, such as through mini breaks or games between long sessions of work, is the most effective way of teaching them in a fun, yet informative manner. Moreover, being…

Local Reviews

William is excited as he is learning more with Bailey than with his math's teacher. Baileys methods are easy to follow and very helpful. Bailey is always on time and puts in 110%. After every session, you can see the smile on William's face and his new found confidence. We are very impressed and very lucky to have Bailey tutor William.

Inside CranbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student worked on adding three- and four-digit numbers using written strategies.

In Year 9, Grace explored essay planning for "The Women of Troy" and practised writing a body paragraph to improve her text response structure.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Akshara focused on language analysis skills by examining persuasive techniques in articles from class and developing structured responses based on those examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing for science exams was advised to spend time reviewing detailed content—like types of decay and function transformations—but "a couple mistakes when trying to substitute transformations" showed that small calculation errors crept in when steps were skipped.

Meanwhile, a VCE English student left her oral presentation work very late, resulting in over-reliance on casual arguments rather than researched evidence; she struggled to convert plans into full paragraphs under deadline pressure.

For a younger Year 7 learner, untidy written maths working sometimes made it hard to spot where sign or calculation slips had happened.

Recent Achievements

A Cranbourne tutor recently noted that a Year 12 student, Tapson, who previously hesitated with physics application questions, managed to solve a complex problem independently on heat transfer after working through analogies together.

Another high schooler, Manasvi, showed real initiative by completely revising her oral presentation's conclusion without prompting—last week she'd struggled to keep arguments concise, but this time she shaped her speech to fit strict time limits.

In primary years, Hannah used to guess at multiplication tables; now she quickly answers negative number problems and even tackles basic algebra unaided.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jaiden likes Justin as he explains how to work out the Maths in different ways and Jaiden understands this

Washim was absolutely fantastic with our daughter Josephine! He was very patient and knowledgeable. Josephine went from a C student in Semester 1 to an A student in Semester 2 last year. The only variable that changed was tutoring with Washim during that period of time.

We had our first lesson with Jacob tonight and I wanted to let you know that we were highly impressed with him. Jacob seems to be a great fit for my daughter, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I wanted to pass this feedback on and let you know that we are very happy with Jacob.

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 Cranbourne Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Agatha's School.
