Be patient with students, understand their concept-grasping power (since it differs from student to student), provide special attention to slow-learners, appreciate students (when they get the hang of things or score good marks) and motivate students (when they make mistakes)! I love making complex concepts simplified (easy-to-understand), am…

I believe that communication skills and patience is most crucial. Being able to explain a hard subject to simpler words so a student can understand is one of the most essential thing I figured throughout my tutoring experiences. Tutors should also be ready to answer any questions asked by students. I am capable of elaborating subjects, I adapt and…

Certainly building self-confidence in a student! It is the key to furthering skills and this can be highly motivating for a student. As a student who recently completed VCE, I found having a tutor built my confidence by exposing me to what was coming in my VCE subjects and therefore making me comfortable with the key concepts and theory. This can…

Everybody learns differently, and trying to apply the same approach to everyone is going to leave students struggling and frustrated.

I have two years'…

Inside HadfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver worked on drawing linear graphs, understanding gradient, and the y = mx + b form, using clear step-by-step examples.

In Year 10, Oliver focused on solving simultaneous linear equations with the elimination method and reviewed circle geometry including area calculations.

For Year 5, Myki practised multiplication and factors through revision activities and extended this to cover fractions, division, highest common factor, and lowest multiple.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often preferred to solve algebraic equations mentally and skipped writing out steps, as one tutor noted: "He likes to solve equations in his head. He needs to write how he solved the problems." This habit made it harder to catch sign errors or understand where confusion started, especially with negatives and indices.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student's messy hand counting for subtraction sometimes led to miscounts—extra time was spent correcting basic errors rather than building new skills.

In Year 10 probability, not reading written questions closely left key parts unanswered and confidence dropped after each unclear result.

Recent Achievements

One Hadfield tutor recently noticed a big change with Oliver in Year 9 maths: after struggling to make sense of linear equations, he's now confidently graphing lines using the y = mx + b formula and even tackled substitution methods without hesitation.

In another session, a Year 11 student who previously froze on probability questions was able to tackle class problems independently after working through both experimental and theoretical probability with support.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to make frequent mistakes when hand counting has started getting through addition and subtraction columns accurately—last week he finished all ten problems without any errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far so good. Scott has been great. He is exceptionally patient and really flexible at fitting in with our timetable.

. Ruby enjoyed the session and is very happy with Vibha, so we're off to a good start.

Chloe has had 2 sessions and is starting to find Maths easier already. She has tests coming up and Rosario is focusing on this. We've found Rosario to be patient when explaining the different processes to Chloe. She is also warm and friendly with her and this is good for Chloe who also has anxiety issues.

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 Glenroy Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas More's School.
