Biology Tutor Darley, VIC

Inside MaddingleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Aisha focused on integers by practising addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as identifying squares and square roots.

Year 10 student Daniel revised quadratic equations—finding turning points and intercepts—and explored different forms of quadratics with real-world word problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled fuels in Chemistry by comparing fossil fuels to biofuels and balancing thermochemical equations, including calculating heat energy released during combustion reactions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 Biology student hesitated to answer exam-style questions on immune system processes, often leaving answers blank if unsure. As a tutor noted, "She shies away when answering questions, so need to work on her confidence more." This led to missed opportunities for feedback and deeper understanding.

In Year 9 Maths, one student had not completed assigned homework, resulting in difficulty recalling methods during revision quizzes; she could answer session 1 topics but struggled with session 2 content.

A Year 7 learner preferred doing calculations mentally rather than showing working out—mistakes went unnoticed until asked to explain reasoning aloud.

Recent Achievements

A Maddingley tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated to speak up now actively asking for clarification during biology sessions and completing most pre-session quiz questions correctly, especially around the immune system.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student showed new initiative by reviewing missed homework independently and arriving at sessions ready with notes on Pythagoras' theorem—something she hadn't done before.

In primary years, one student who struggled with fractions began accurately explaining equivalent fractions and simplification steps out loud, rather than just following along silently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email. Ben and David are working well together and it appears that the working relationship is positive. Interestingly, Ben has instantly been able to move to working with David as both David and Ben have in common the same secondary school that Ben is currently going to. So while David attended the school some years prior to Ben, and much has change, they were still able to compare experiences about the school which helped start them working constructively. We are very satisfied with continuing with David.

Yes so far we are happy with Emma. The reason we want the tutoring is that I would like Stephanie to be extended in a similar way to that which coaching colleges follow ie they seem to follow the curriculum of selective schools. I would like Stephanie to have the same opportunity to be extended. Since the coaching colleges are inconvenient for us, we much prefer to have a tutor like Emma.

Tanay enjoys learning with Curtis which is a great thing so I am sure he will listen to what Curtis has to tell him.

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 Bacchus Marsh College.
