I believe that a tutor should be able to build relationships with a student where the students are provided with an environment where they are heard and observed. I think this allows tutors to strategize methods in helping students progress, learn and succeed. This must be done with patience, constant assessment of student's progress, and…

I believe that listening to the student is among the most important things a tutor can do. It is imperative that the student feels comfortable to share concepts that they feel unfamiliar with, therefore building a relationship with them is crucial. Having a good understanding of the student's optimal way of learning is also beneficial to the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is focus on the specific needs of the student, identify areas of weakness, and tailor the teaching approach accordingly. Students may have gaps in their understanding due to missed classes, inadequate explanations, or other reasons. A tutor can identify these gaps and help bridge them by revisiting…

Vanessa was excellent with our daughter. Our daughter said she was very knowledgeable and explained things very well and she was easy to follow and understand.
Mirella Stone, Erindale

Inside ErindaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack worked through multiplication strategies and early decimal concepts using visual aids to strengthen understanding.

In Year 11, Maya focused on solving quadratic equations and interpreting their graphs, building skills for upcoming assessment tasks.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex practiced exam-style questions involving complex numbers and began revising composition of functions in preparation for next term's topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student often avoided showing working for subtraction and multiplication, especially with times tables above 5x. "He hesitated to attempt harder multiplications," a tutor observed, which meant money problems and fractions felt overwhelming in the moment.

At the senior level, a Year 11 student missed a lesson entirely, causing gaps when starting new algebra content; test preparation was rushed as a result.

In another case, a Year 10 student tended to forget to write full answers ("Forgetting to add +c" in calculus), which led to marks lost despite understanding the method.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Erindale recently noticed some real progress with a few students. One high school student who used to struggle with integration felt much stronger during their latest session and even reported that their most recent integration test was probably their best yet.

Another secondary student, previously hesitant to ask for clarification, has started to openly discuss mistakes on practice questions, making it easier to address gaps together.

In the primary years, Aryo—who often got distracted—has begun working through his homework more independently and even remembered to bring it along without reminders.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
