I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping the student believe in themselves and letting them know they can do well. This is because most of the time students self doubts leads to them struggling with content not a lack of ability. I create strategies to help my students remember content easier and I make sure that I…

Inside ElthamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ethan focused on mastering long multiplication and division, along with strategies for working with fractions.

Year 10 Callum spent sessions revising factorising non-monic quadratics and applying algebra skills to simultaneous equations, often using worked examples from past tests.

For Year 11 student Ruby, recent lessons targeted exponentials and their graphs as well as challenging exam-style questions involving exponents and logarithms to strengthen her Methods understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often relied on mental calculations and skipped writing out steps—"he tries to do too much work in his head," a tutor noted—leading to muddled errors that slowed progress.

In senior years, a lack of consistent revision was clear: missed homework and incomplete summary notes meant key methods for trigonometry and probability weren't embedded, especially when tests approached quickly.

A drop in motivation after falling behind left another student unsure where to restart; the result was gaps in understanding that made even familiar material feel unfamiliar under exam pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Eltham tutor noticed a big shift with Eric (Year 10), who used to leave maths homework unfinished but now tackles it early, using his parents and a friend as resources—he even made only minor mistakes this week.

In Year 11 chemistry, Callum has started engaging much more actively; he now jumps into tutor-led questions about wave interference instead of waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, Anna (Year 6) has begun fixing her own mistakes right after spotting them—last session she quickly self-corrected errors on literal equations without any prompting and finished the set independently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Wanted to take this opportunity to say how great Jeremy is! My daughter was incredibly nervous about having a male tutor but after the first session and moving forward, she feels completely comfortable, at ease and really enjoys her tutoring sessions with Jeremy. He has a very positive attitude and is very kind and encouraging towards Maycee's learning journey and for that we thank you all.... especially Jeremy!

Jay-T really liked Kerry and in the one session, saw real value in getting his help

We're very pleased with Rhowdry so far. Madeline is building a great rapport with her and they seem to work well together. I know it will take some time but so far so good.

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 Eltham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady Help of Christians School.
