English Tutor Ballarat East, VIC
Give them the time and knowledge that a regular school teacher cannot as they're taking responsibility of a larger class, unlike a private tutor who teaches one on one in a more friendly home environment. My strength is my strong math and engineering background and my many years of experience as a private math tutor as well as university teacher…

English Tutor Ballarat East, VIC
The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

Guidance. It's always guidance. Tutors facilitate learning and help activates students' potential. :) Tutors receive all the questions most of the students don't ask in class, and I find it amazing because real learning happens between tutors and students. I already know how to handle them and I can give excellent activities that they can enjoy…

Local Reviews

Joshua has been a much needed addition to my younger siblings learning. Concepts he initially struggled with (even when teachers at school would have already explained them) was shown to him in an even simpler way. I loved seeing my younger brother go from disliking Maths to feeling very confident in it. Especially with being midway through year 12, I wish I was able to get him as a tutor sooner!

Inside Leigh CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 Greta reviewed negative numbers, algebraic expansion, and basic French food vocabulary through translation and sentence building.

Year 9 Max focused on trigonometry concepts such as labelling triangle sides and applying SOH CAH TOA to find unknown lengths, using calculator-based practice.

For Year 10 Ava, lessons centred on solving linear simultaneous equations by substitution and revising simplification of surds from a previous test to clarify key steps in each method.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, one student often avoided writing out their working for subtraction and division, which led to confusion about what each number represented; as noted, "some questions needed to be reworded multiple times to clarify steps."

In Year 10 algebra, skipping double-checks resulted in small copying errors that went unnoticed.

For a senior maths student (Year 12), the layout of written work was inconsistent when rationalising surds—steps were sometimes missing or muddled, making it hard to spot where logic broke down.

During an English session, another student hesitated to share ideas in writing, even though they could discuss them verbally with support.

Recent Achievements

A Leigh Creek tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who had been hesitant to attempt worded maths problems start breaking them down independently, using "shells" to identify the next operation instead of waiting for prompts.

In another session, a high schooler who'd previously guessed at negative number questions now actively chose to use number lines and checked her strategies out loud before solving.

Meanwhile, a younger student began reading aloud with real expression during English, even experimenting with character voices—whereas earlier she would stop or rush through difficult words.

The last session finished with her choosing to read an extra poem out loud herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Deepti is working with my daughter for more than a year as her Tutor. The great strength of Deepti is the trust relationship that she develop with the students, so they feel comfortable to open up and get the guidelines she share and teach. My daughter was definitely improved her math, but more important improved her confident and approach to math.

Andy is great and all is going very well. We are very happy with Andy he is helping Tylah with her maths.

El-Abed is doing s great job. El-Abed has managed to get my daughter, Faith, to agree to a 90min session weekly which should work well as she has some work to do.

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