English Tutor Gisborne, VIC
- Provide them respect and allow them to feel welcome to ask any question they have in mind. - I think it is important that the student never feels overwhelmed. I find being overwhelmed only leads to greater stress therefore I would like to ensure that the student would feel comfortable with what they are learning. I think I am a good listener,…

Inside GisborneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava revised algebra basics and number patterns, using step-by-step worked examples to build confidence.

In Year 9, Lucas focused on solving simultaneous linear and quadratic equations as well as exploring families of quadratic polynomial functions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily tackled the application of polynomial functions and practised solving cubic inequalities with real-world worded problems for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often defaulted to using a calculator for exponential and surd problems, even when simpler mental strategies were possible—needs to be less reliant on calculator, as one tutor noted. This habit slowed their algebraic reasoning in class, particularly during non-calculator sections of tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner's revision was limited to repeating familiar exercises; they avoided tackling unfamiliar problem types in algebra, which meant new challenges felt overwhelming in assessments.

In English (Year 10), the urge to perfect every sentence led to hesitation and time lost during creative writing tasks—leaving ideas half-finished as the clock ran down.

Recent Achievements

One Gisborne tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with simultaneous equations now working through them independently and even tackling worded problems using the elimination method—a big step from needing constant hints.

In another high school session, a student who previously mixed up profit and discount formulas was able to clearly explain the difference and apply the correct one to new scenarios.

Meanwhile, a younger student who often hesitated to share her ideas about story prompts began confidently putting her thoughts on paper, expressing compelling arguments that were missing just weeks before.

Michelle is awesome and has taught me so much in a short amount of time. She never doubts my level of ability and is always encouraging me to go above and beyond. Her knowledge of specific maths topics is just out of this world. You guys have one awesome lady on your hands!

We have been extremely happy with our son Jacks progress and we are forever thankful for all that Thiru has done teaching and coaching Jack up to speed.

Albert is a very nice guy, polite, thorough and a good tutor, I personally would hire him again.

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