Ancient History Tutor Wandin North, VIC
By making learning fun and relatible students can see the benefits of learning the content. This allows students to see the practical part of their learning and will be more engaged to learn something they can use now or later in life. I am a very patience person which is important when teaching because students need time to try and understand the…

Inside GruyereTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Codi revised circular functions ahead of an exam and practiced applying trigonometric ratios to different problem types.

In Year 9, Ayelet focused on simplifying surds and indices, with particular attention to using index laws and performing operations like multiplication and division.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Emma worked through converting decimals to fractions and vice versa, as well as reviewing test material involving direct numbers for greater accuracy.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes avoided writing down their working in maths, especially when adding and subtracting larger numbers, preferring to "do it in my head"—which led to confusion when checking answers later.

In Year 5, a student was hesitant to complete homework independently; although she understood multiplication with guidance, she struggled alone and left written practice incomplete during the week.

A VCE English student showed strong ideas but tended to write overly long sentences that lost impact; as one tutor put it, "her language is a little too wordy," making her argument less clear under SAC time pressure.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Gruyere noticed a big change in Maya (Year 5), who now speeds through division rounds—finishing 10 questions in just 3.5 minutes compared to struggling with the steps and relying on her notes at first.

In a recent high school session, Ayelet showed new independence by solving surd problems and applying index laws without reaching for her calculator, which she depended on heavily before.

Meanwhile, Lizzie (Year 11) not only embedded quotes seamlessly into her English essay but also brought up fresh ideas during analysis, taking ownership of the discussion rather than waiting for direction.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to thank you for providing 2 excellent tutors for Nerys over the last 2 years in particular Christina. Christina has been excellent, not only is she a lovely person who shows patience she has catered to Nerys learning style and the proof is in the pudding . Nerys has improved dramatically. She has moved up in class ranking and she is now confidence and able to understand maths concepts more easily. please pass our gratitude to Christina.

Ethan is settling in very nicely with working with Jordan, who is very professional, friendly and approachable. Ethan is comfortable working with Jordan and is beginning to gain a little confidence in his approach to maths, so we are more than happy to continue working with him.

Georgie is really enjoying coaching with Gabrielle. She's already doing so much better in maths at school (her teacher has commented on the huge improvement at recent parent teacher conference!). Gabrielle is a real asset to your team. She's so polite, punctual, intelligent and just fantastic.

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 Mt Evelyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seville Primary School.
