Biology Tutor Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC
A good tutor not only finds the best teaching method to suit the learning preferences of their student, but are also able to increase their student's confidence and mindset, helping them be both physically and mentally prepared for assessments. I am very proactive with answering questions and concerns. In the past, my student was 2 years behind on…

Biology Tutor Boronia, VIC
Teaching math or English?! students can get that information from books, the internet, online courses and so many other ways. But things that a crafty and caring tutor would do is to support, understand, and talk, in one word, be there for the student. Being a friend and caring about every student, realising their talent and the ways they…

Biology Tutor Ferntree Gully, VIC
I aim to set up a relaxed environment with the students so that students feel comfortable and focused working on subjects. Understanding the level the student is at, so that they are able to improve their skills at a suitable pace is essential. Next, providing worksheets, exams and textbooks so that they can continue improving by themselves,…

Biology Tutor Bayswater, VIC
I believe it is important for a biology tutor to always take time to properly understand problems that a student could be having with whatever they are trying to understand and consider the best ways to help the student to understand the question in a way that works well with the student's learning. I am patient and willing to take the time to…

Georgia is fantastic. She is lovely, explains things really well, is patient, very knowledgeable. She has already helped my daughter to feel a lot better about maths and helping her to get her confidence back. Brilliant!

Inside KallistaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on adding and subtracting fractions, practiced interpreting 24-hour time, and continued to consolidate times tables knowledge through active recall and written exercises.

In Year 10, Vien worked on refining essay writing by rewording sentences for clarity and began preparing content for an upcoming SAC assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Isaac revised algebraic fractions in test preparation sessions and explored linear relations using practice problems from his recent classwork.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often avoided challenging maths problems, instead "prioritising known topics," which limited exposure to new skills and made harder questions in class feel daunting.

In VCE English, one student's essays were hard to follow because ideas weren't planned out, and their handwriting was described as "difficult to read," so teachers struggled to find key arguments.

A Year 10 student sometimes skipped homework or left revision incomplete—this meant valuable time was spent re-learning old material rather than progressing.

During timed tests, slow planning and indecision resulted in unfinished responses and mounting frustration.

Recent Achievements

One Kallista tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle extended essays now breaking down reading tasks independently and finishing almost every homework question on her own.

Another high schooler, after struggling with applying formulas, began identifying which ones to use without hints—completing his maths revision swiftly and fixing small mistakes himself.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once second-guessed his times tables started answering flash card drills quickly and even volunteered to solve new multiplication problems aloud during the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for the follow up.  We are happy with Aprinder and pleased with the progress Flynn is making.

We are really happy with Vivienne. She is very patient and explains things extremely clearly. Already had a 74% which for a child who is almost maths dialexic this was fabulous. Anyway we are very happy with her Thankyou

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

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 Belgrave Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kallista Primary School.
