Biology Tutor Wandin North, VIC
Helping people understand why learning is important to them. Kids can find it hard to see why what they're learning is important. I think a fundamental key is showing how the process of learning itself is the important aspect, rather than specifically the content. While the content is important to grasp, the process of regular work towards a goal,…

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

We are happy with Maree, she is a hands on tutor which seems to be working well with my daughter.

It's all going very well.  Billy really likes her and said she is clarifying a lot for him. I'm conscious that they are rushing through things at school so have told Mithra to take her time and not move on to new areas until she is satisfied he grasps it.

Monique is very happy.  In just two lessons, she has found a huge difference.  I commend Katy as Monique finds her very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going.  I am pleased as I too can see the huge difference in Monique's confidence. Thank you for recommending Katy, she is a marvel.

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.
