A tutor can make a student stress free by making learning so easy and interesting , that a student enjoy learning rather than running away from it. And obviously achieve good grades. I can make a boring subject interesting to any student as I make use of properties and imagination to teach the topics and make learning a 'fun learning'. I…

Role of tutor is not to make a student learn single subject, but understand students' learning rhythm and motivations. If you can't challenge student in learning path, it will benefit him in short run, but in long run he will fail miserably. Learning is the experience of fun and enjoyment. Hardworking and Preparation. Whenever I deliver speech or…

I think that structure and predictability is the most important thing a tutor can do, as it is easier for students to know what to expect in class, and future lessons. Having organised lesson plans not only ensures that all key topics are covered, but also allows students to focus more on the material itself rather than wondering what will come…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is just be patient with them. As students are brought up in a competitive environment in school, most times they feel inferior to their peers as not everyone learns at the same pace. Some learn faster and some learn slower and most often students feel lost and pressured. As a tutor, being there for…

After the first session I gave Matt some feedback about Mia (via Text). Matt was open to my feedback about Mia’s learning style, and I feel he listened and implemented during the second session. Mia walked away feeling more confident/ comfortable after the second session.

Inside FawknerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Harry concentrated on algebra skills, working through expressions and equations to build confidence.

For Year 10, recent sessions addressed data distributions by finding the five number summary (including IQR, median, Q1, and Q3), constructing box plots, and applying the 68–95–99.7% rule for normal distributions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student practised multiplication using area models and explored equivalent fractions through hands-on activities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 General Maths, one student struggled to locate formulas in a disorganised bound reference book, leading to wasted time during practice SACs—"he spent several minutes flipping pages for the right formula."

In a Year 10 statistics lesson, another student relied heavily on calculators and spreadsheets rather than practicing manual quartile calculations, risking gaps in understanding under exam conditions.

A primary student frequently left homework incomplete and needed prompting to edit written work; when asked to revise spelling errors, "he understood what was wrong but didn't correct it without help," resulting in repeated mistakes on similar tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Fawkner tutor recently noticed Charlize, a Year 12 student, move from confusion to confidently identifying outliers and calculating interquartile ranges using box plots—something she struggled with at the start.

In Year 8 maths, Emmanuel now works through new concepts after just one example and has begun tackling similar questions independently instead of waiting for prompts.

Meanwhile, Alex in primary school is showing real initiative: he self-corrects punctuation errors during writing tasks and is starting to choose more complex sentence structures on his own. Last session, he finished his letter draft without needing reminders about capital letters or full stops.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Austin is a positive, helpful young man who was very polite and knew his stuff. I would highly recommend him.

Tutoring is going well and Nick and Charlie are a great match! Nick has already made a great connection with Charlie.

Minh aka Truc has been fabulous in the short amount of time I have worked with her. She really has given me the confidence I needed to have a better mindset going in to an exam. From the start she was approachable and understanding. I never felt like I was being judged, she was able to answer all my questions with an explanation on how she got the answer.

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