As a tutor I'm patient, understanding and forgiving. I know some students take…

I believe an important role a tutor has is not only easing a student's fears about a subject (in particular Mathematics), but encouraging them when the student feels disheartened over task loads or low grades. I also believe tutors must help students develop healthy self-study habits that encourage them to try solving problems themselves before…

Deepti is great, learning quickly.

Inside Happy ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on congruency and similar triangles, using practice problems to reinforce understanding before an upcoming test.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through solving simultaneous equations and interpreting worded problems involving linear relationships.

For senior maths, Year 12 student Grace reviewed confidence intervals and critical values in statistics, including how to use sample size calculations when testing claims.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student was missing the book with 'mini-theorems' in it, which made applying the correct rules during rearranging questions harder—retrieving materials from school became a priority.

A Year 11 student tackling calculus struggled to allocate time effectively on their test: "Consider how many marks each question is worth, as a guide for how long the answer should be."

In Year 12 statistics, occasionally not labeling graphs or detailing method limitations held back higher-level marks in investigations.

During advanced trigonometry, over-erasing and rewriting answers meant less time reflecting on errors before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Happy Valley noticed a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on worded geometry questions now confidently works through finding equations of lines and applies the distance formula without prompting.

In a recent Year 12 session, a student who struggled with interpreting summation notation managed to solve expected value problems independently and even received an A- on his last test—a big step up from previous results.

Meanwhile, a younger high schooler who hesitated to ask for help now openly checks their reasoning out loud when tackling tricky fraction-decimal-percentage links.

Madeline was a great tutor, friendly, easy going and understanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their studies

Stephanie is really enjoying tutoring with Jia Jia. Jia Jia is very easy going and Steph is happy with how it's all going. Thanks for being so organised and informative. It's made the experience smooth!

Jack and Justin are getting along well. Jack seems to have to continued to improve since Justin started tutoring.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Braeview School.
