As a student who got tutored, I was always embarrassed of receiving extra help with my subjects as I thought it meant I wasn't as smart as others.

Therefore, besides teaching them facts about a specific topics, tutors should go above and beyond, providing…

Inside Dandenong SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aryan focused on recognising number patterns and writing numbers as words, alongside practicing addition with 4-digit numbers using hands-on worksheets.

In Year 9, Aidan worked through applications of trigonometric ratios in worded problems and reviewed the area of a triangle by tackling reasoning questions with formula breakdowns.

For Year 10, Maddy practiced graphing parabolas including translations along both axes and found x- and y-intercepts to consolidate her understanding before upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was set homework to write numbers as words up to the thousandths, but this was not completed, making it harder to reinforce number-word connections.

In Year 5 maths, finger counting persisted for addition and subtraction—"He should work on comprehending worded problems without assistance," one tutor noted—which slowed progress with multi-step questions.

A Year 9 student in algebra skipped showing working for equations, so sign errors went unnoticed until answers were checked.

During a senior exam review (Year 12), time management issues meant rushed final answers and missed marks despite understanding concepts; the lost opportunity lingered after the bell rang.

Recent Achievements

A Dandenong South tutor noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to ask questions, now works through challenging percentage increase and decrease problems independently and actively seeks clarification only when truly stuck.

In a recent session with a Year 11 student, the tutor observed her confidently applying SOHCAHTOA to trigonometry problems—something she struggled to visualise before—and moving on to more advanced cases involving unknown sides and angles.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed progress by using number lines for addition and subtraction without prompting, having initially needed step-by-step guidance for every question.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

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.

Yes, we have been very happy with how Cheyne and Juhi are getting along. Cheyne is feeling more confident about tackling her maths now and quite looks forward to her sessions with Juhi.

The tutoring is going really well. Jimmy is a great person and really good at tutoring. My son is really happy and comfortable with Jimmy. We are not taking a break over the holidays, so Jimmy is back on Wed night. Jimmy is really helping him understand his maths. Thank you for everything.

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 Dandenong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mt Hira College.
