Self-confidence and self-worth is very important to ensure that each student grow into mature independent adults, who are able to accept the ups and downs that they will…

This is why I believe it's important to teach in a friendly environment. I am usually also available to students out of hours to answer their last minute questions before exams, if any…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to motivate them and make them laugh, to be a buddy who happens to be helping them with their school work, to acknowledge them with current, expand their grasp of the concepts and can be a influence in some tangible, positive way, helping them make essential connections, or…

Another thing a tutor can do is to help them not only with their grades, but also with guiding them towards their goals and be a mentor that would inspire them to be the best of themselves. I…

It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

The single most important aspect for an english tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off.…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things an english tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is to be available for a student at times of need, to clear their doubts, especially during exams, as that is generally the time when students have the most number of doubts. Students who don't have any uncleared doubts before an exam are generally more confident, and tend to perform better…

The most important thing in my opinion is helping the student understand the problem, simply completing the problem for them helps no-one. If an english tutor can do this, then the student should be able to complete any problem. Secondly, I think that it is important to treat the student as if they are an equal. Students who require tutoring…

Inside Geelong WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliz focused on subtraction strategies and explored chance concepts, then practised arithmetic with decimals and had an introduction to Roman numerals using hands-on examples.

In Year 8, Emma worked through the rules for indices and solved problems involving highest common factor (HCF) and lowest common multiple (LCM), with extra attention to shortcuts for calculations.

For Year 10, Daniel tackled quadratic equations and spent time graphing parabolas, focusing on interpreting features like turning points and intercepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student preparing for algebra assessments often forgot to bring her completed homework, which meant she missed chances to get feedback and correct misunderstandings in class.

In Year 11 mathematics, he relied on the calculator for every step—even basic fraction work—so conceptual errors weren't spotted until revision.

One Year 5 learner, keen to avoid making mistakes in division, hesitated to write out working at all; this slowed progress and led to confusion when reviewing answers later.

The result: valuable lesson time was spent revisiting old ground rather than building new skills or confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Geelong West tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask questions, now regularly pauses mid-problem to request clarification—something she never did before.

A high schooler working on differentiation started applying the chain rule independently during practice, when just last month he needed step-by-step prompting for each part.

In a recent primary session, a Year 4 student who used to rush through reading now slows down and corrects her own punctuation out loud, showing real care with sentence structure. Last week, she read an entire page without missing any full stops or capitals.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, Thanks for the follow up email.  Currently I am offshore and will be back in Perth around the 19th. I am sure Alex is going well, however time will tell.  Louise and Myself are happy with Safire.

We have got off to a great start with Devina.  Aiden has really enjoyed the sessions so far and finds Devina explains everything extremely well, actually much better than his teacher at school.  We are making really good progress and even after such a short time Aiden has gained so much more confidence with his maths,  so many thanks for sending her our way.

Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome.  Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man.  Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.

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 Geelong West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ashby Primary School.
