When the students starts loving Maths instead of doing it just for the sake of passing, then they(the students) can perform much better. Im very patient and I have loved Maths as a subject throughout my school years and I think thats beneficial when you are trying to teach…

A tutor should be able to help the student in understanding the information to the best level possible which will increase the confidence in the student especially when doing a subject they do not enjoy or struggle in. Since I just recently completed Year 12 I believe I can understand the frustration and stress a student can feel while studying.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a non-judgemental listener. It is important for a tutor to listen to anything a student might ask, and to make them feel comfortable enough to ask questions in the first place.

I think a tutor needs to be patient and easy going in a way that students can be comfortable with, and question things they feel unable to question in their school classroom.

Inside HillsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Stefan focused on ordering decimals from largest to smallest and explored decimal place value using hands-on number line activities.

In Year 9, Alice tackled Pythagoras' theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions involving indices, reinforcing concepts with worked examples.

For Year 12, Chatwell discussed plans for her final year and received support on General Mathematics content, including a few targeted questions and guidance on upcoming Business Management materials.

Recent Challenges

Several secondary students showed difficulty organizing their written work in mathematics, particularly with algebra and calculus.

For example, one Year 11 student omitted intermediate steps when simplifying fractions, leading to arithmetic errors—"as a tutor noted, he didn't separate the numerator's terms before dividing by h."

In VCE exam practice, another student's performance dropped under time pressure; missing final answers or not boxing them made solutions unclear to assessors.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student frequently confused (x,y) for (y,x) in coordinate geometry tasks, causing repeated mix-ups during reflections. These habits resulted in avoidable mistakes and extra time spent clarifying working.

Recent Achievements

One Hillside tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate asking for help now clearly identifies when she's stuck and actively seeks guidance, especially with paragraph structure in English.

In Year 12 maths, another student began tackling calculus problems independently—last week, he solved a tricky differentiation question on his own after only needing a reminder about the product rule.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has started correcting her own mistakes during multiplication exercises without prompting, showing much more persistence than before.

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 Sydenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sydenham - Hillside Primary School-Hillside Campus.
