Geography Tutor Capel Sound, VIC
Adapting to a students learning style. Each student learns differently and to be able to teach the same content in different ways is definitely important. Also connecting with the student, ensuring they feel confident and connected to make mistakes and ask questions. My strengths are definitely the fact that I’m a teacher, I have experience,…

We only had 3 weeks before the GAT and Tim helped Penny increase in confidence. Penny feels she has definitely improved.

Inside Main RidgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Damir focused on number identification and basic addition and subtraction, also exploring shape identification through hands-on activities.

In Year 7, Willow practised solving algebraic equations and worked through more complex fractions operations, using step-by-step problem breakdowns.

For Year 8, Mira developed her understanding of place value and the order of operations by tackling mixed numerical expressions with guided examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, one student often avoided writing out their working for algebra and fractions, preferring to solve problems in their head. As a tutor noted, "he talks aloud well but loses track of his own thoughts," leading to errors and missed simplifications.

In Year 4, another student regularly left homework incomplete; this meant fewer chances to build confidence with multiplication and division.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student showed reluctance to attempt unfamiliar graphing tasks unless given physical tools—hesitation here slowed progress when faced with conventionally formatted worksheets during assessment time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Main Ridge recently saw Willow, a Year 8 student, start working through complicated algebra and percentage questions entirely in her head—a big leap from when she'd rely on step-by-step guidance.

Riley, also in high school, now interprets mathematical notation and solves equations with far greater independence; he used to hesitate at multi-step problems but recently completed linear graphing tasks without prompting.

Meanwhile, Gracie (Year 6) followed multi-stage instructions for perimeter and area tasks and managed to resolve tricky addition and subtraction questions after struggling with place value last term.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have some results to report. Wari has sat three tests in the last week or so, the results are: Maths - 95.5%; Chemistry - 100%; Economics - 77% (no coaching in this subject). We are very happy with these results, especially the chemistry one as she has had the most trouble with that subject. Last week, before the Friday chemistry test they did two hours on chemistry, she found the lessons very hard, but the following test very straight forward. In the maths test, she actually did all the calculations correctly but lost marks for rounding an answer incorrectly and rounding a couple of other answers when she shouldn't have! We are very happy with Alexander's teaching, although we are not sitting in the room, he sounds very clear and concise. Another very important thing to consider  is that she is very happy with her results and is gaining more self confidence, and, I think, is generally more relaxed and happy with life.

More importantly, I want to let you know that Hannah, Peter and I are very happy with Phal - she's super smart, friendly and a great communicator.  She's lifted Hannah's confidence within a few short weeks and, circumstances permitting, we look forward to a long and productive tutoring association with her.

I am 100% satisfied with your company and Rick, Alanahs tutor. I will definately call on you if the need arises again and won't hesitate in recommending you if anyone I know required tutoring services.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Red Hill Consolidated School.
