Often times students feel ashamed to ask questions or seek out help. Therefore, creating a space for the student's emotions allows them to approach me with any question or issue that they have without fear or embarrassment is a priority for me. This opens doors to learning new things and even accelerates the education and teaching process. My…

The most important things a maths tutor can do for a student to me would be being able to provide extra 1 on 1 time with a student that they might not be able to have in a school setting. By having 1 on 1 time with a student, it is easier to teach them and make them understand the content. Also being able to be contacted by the student outside…

I believe it’s important to empathise with students rather then being sympathetic. Sympathy comes with one feeling a sense of emotion for sometime. Whereas, when in comes to tutoring, we need to empathise with students as it’ll allow us to position ourselves in their circumstances. Therefore, will give as a vision of a reality closer to what a…

I believe that ultimately, helping students to achieve better grades in school is the most important thing, because that's what tutors are hired for. That being said, I also believe that other things such as helping students to fix a poor study schedule and rectifying pessimistic/unconfident mindsets is also important towards not only their…

Tutor can guide the student effectively. Tutoring doesn’t mean delivering lecture and completing the curriculum. It is responsible for holistic development of the pupils.

The best thing is to guide a student in a direction which is best according his or her capabilities.

I think the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to get the student to understand a topic, not memorize a topic. For example, if I were to teach a student about the distance formula, I would explain how the formula was derived first. I believe showing a student a formula and not explaining how it was derived leaves a gap in…

Inside DerrimutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emma revised quadratic equations and functions, focusing on graph interpretation and problem-solving; Year 10 student Lucas tackled trigonometry by graphing sine and cosine functions, along with a review of transformations to strengthen his foundation; meanwhile, Year 3 student Zoe practiced multiplication facts and solved word problems involving money using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, one student was "a bit lax with her homework," leading to missed practice on application questions and slower progress in trigonometry graphing.

In a senior English session, skipping questions when unsure meant some tasks were left incomplete and unattempted until prompted.

A Year 5 learner's written work was described as "hard to follow," with untidy layout making it difficult to check for errors—especially in multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly avoided challenging multiplication questions, returning only to familiar material and requiring frequent reminders to persist when tasks became unfamiliar or effortful.

Recent Achievements

One Derrimut tutor noted a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess at problems but now regularly asks for help when stuck, especially during complex homework—she completed nearly all tasks this week and initiated questions on her own.

A high schooler in Year 9 has started challenging herself by choosing harder questions for practice, getting them right on recent assignments after previously sticking only to basics.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to recite times tables can now confidently recall them aloud without prompting and tackled double-digit multiplication with less support than before.

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 Brimbank Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Derrimut Primary School.
