Ancient History Tutor Brunswick East, VIC
Restoring confidence, and building up as much knowledge with the student to allow them to approach a subject with ease. Also finding ways for the student to start to organically "enjoy" (as best they can) the given subject. And of course ensure that the student has the mental tools and knowledge to pass an exam or test in the given subject…

Inside MacleodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Amanat explored water transport in plants, diving into xylem function and then linking this to atomic theory and basic chemical bonding.

In Year 10, Leah focused on calculating moles using both n=m/M and n=N/Na formulas, practising with worded chemistry problems to build confidence in rearranging equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amanat reviewed the stages of photosynthesis—light-dependent and light-independent reactions—clarifying inputs and outputs for each step using summary diagrams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Biology, one student left several answer spaces blank during a tutorial, seeking clarification before attempting any response. As the tutor observed, "it will be more valuable for her to first attempt an answer (however imperfect), and then for us to discuss it together." This avoidance of initial attempts may limit exam performance, where immediate feedback isn't available.

In Year 8 Maths, another student often forgot to complete homework tasks—recently missing practice on fractions—which meant less opportunity for targeted feedback and skill consolidation. Hesitation or missed practice translated into gaps during class discussion and revision.

Recent Achievements

One Macleod tutor noticed a big change in a Year 11 biology student who, after previously waiting for help when stuck, took initiative by researching answers to her homework independently and arrived at the next session ready to explain what she'd learned.

Meanwhile, a high school chemistry student came prepared with specific questions about practice problems she'd tried solo—something she hadn't done before—which led to more focused discussions together.

In a younger session, one primary student started using diagrams to break down tricky multiple-choice maths problems rather than guessing, helping her confidently eliminate wrong answers herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Ayon has been a wonderful tutor for Connor and he now feels that he is coping very well with his journey into HSC. He has learnt a lot with his tutor and is now studying hard with a lot more understanding. I would like to thank you.

We are very happy with Michael and Caroline's confidence has already improved thanks to his support.

Madison has now had two sessions with Emma, they seem to be going well, Emma is very personable, has been working on some practice sheets with Madison for an upcoming maths test.  All seems well so far.

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 Rosanna Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Macleod College.
