I believe understanding a student on a deeper level and giving what he/ she needs. That could be motivation to move ahead , assurance of being there with them , confidence to explore interests and lastly a friend so that they can openly tell if they are not understanding something.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student realize that it's okay to be wrong and try again. But it's never okay to be wrong and not try again and give up. Furthermore, building confidence in the student is a crucial step in order for the student to succeed. I believe my strengths are patience and…

A tutor's most important thing is understanding how each student learns best. I believe in customizing my teaching style to match each student's unique way of learning. It's not just about imparting knowledge; it's about instilling a genuine love for learning and fostering independent problem-solving skills. Building a strong and supportive…

Tutors should be patient when tutoring and be prepared to repeat themselves or explain something in different ways. Tutors should design lessons that are of interest to the student but are also at the appropriate level for the student's ability. Tutors should be encouraging when students do something well and supportive when students make…

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

I just wanted to thank you and my son's tutor, Faraz, for all of your work with him over the last couple of months. I have found Aiden to be much calmer and more focused about the subject since Faraz started tutoring him, which has been fantastic. Aiden found Faraz extremely helpful in guiding his revision and assisting him with the components that he was struggling with.

It seems Gillian is really benefiting greatly from the tutoring and I must say that Joyce is a super star! She has somehow turned Gillian 180 degrees in her attitude to maths.

Lee has been terrific for Harry. He has helped Harry develop confidence and knowledge in Maths that certainly wasn't there at the start of the year. And the results Harry is achieving at school are outstanding. Thank you.

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.
