Modern 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

Arielle finds Ivan explains concepts really well and she seems to get on well with him , which is also important! Certainly she feels he is more helpful than the previous tutor and she doesn't dread the lesson like she used to before and manages to be alert for the whole hour. This is a big improvement on the previous tutoring experience!

We are more than happy with Kancelot. He and Rohan seem to get along well, he is punctual and polite , and is also helping Rohan improve his maths skills.

Yes, everything is going well and Avishag is GREAT!  She is clear, direct, and no-nonsense, which is exactly what Is needs (can't get away with anything), and yet this is balanced with underlying kindness (motivated to do well).  It's not something I can describe well in words, but Isabelle definitely responds well to Avi's method.  She has improved to passing the most recent test (from massively nowhere near passing), and I can see her confidence in math has improved, too.  She was shocked to suddenly find herself helping some of her friends work through questions that they couldn't understand, and enjoyed the feeling, so that is an achievement!  Yes, she still has a long way to go, but we're off to a good start.  It's so good to have Avi reinforce methods of organization and skills that don't register for Is when I mention them, too!  We are both very, very grateful to have Avi help Is through this.

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.
