A tutor must help a student reach their greatest potential. A tutor must understand their student's skillful areas and utilize them to the best of their abilities. A tutor must understand their student's strengths and weaknesses and tailor the lessons around the weaknesses. I am very good at communication and treat my students as friends. I make…

Inside Long ForestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sam focused on applying the area formulas for various shapes and practiced using Pythagoras' Theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems.

In Year 10, Emily worked through interpreting displacement-time and velocity-time graphs as well as solving equations of motion for constant acceleration, including calculations with F = ma.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex reviewed exothermic and endothermic reactions in chemistry, balanced chemical equations, and explored the construction and function of galvanic cells.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to show working in division problems when converting fractions to decimals, leading to confusion in multi-step questions; as the tutor observed, "the process is not shown," which made error-tracing difficult.

In Year 12 Biology, one student hesitated to answer follow-up questions and rarely used correct terminology—he needed repeated prompting before attempting explanations on topics like cellular respiration.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 maths student consistently avoided writing out calculations, instead doing them mentally and seeking constant reassurance rather than building independent confidence.

Homework was often incomplete or forgotten, especially among Years 8–9 students tackling percentage and factorisation tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Long Forest tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who used to stay quiet during biology sessions; now, she's actively asking questions when confused and taking her own notes on tricky topics.

In Year 12 chemistry, another student has started arriving with self-prepared notes and takes initiative by attempting all homework before the lesson—something she previously skipped if unsure.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who often lost her place while reading longer passages was able to read out loud and answer comprehension questions for an entire story without drifting off or skipping words.

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 Lederderg Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arnolds Creek Primary School.
