Modern History Tutor Thornbury, VIC
Show patience and be able to explain things in alternative ways. When a student is struggling to understand something, they can feel pressured or get frustrated or can feel depleted in the fact that they cannot understand a concept. So in my opinion, it is crucial to show patience and try to have the student understand by slowly going through…

Yes I have spoken with Chirag this afternoon. He seems really lovely, confident, competent and friendly and I think someone like this is going to be ideal for our Pops.

Inside MontmorencyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alex focused on linear equations and applied these to worded problems, working through practical examples step-by-step.

For Year 10, Jessica explored the Sine and Cosine Rule by solving triangles in context and revisited key trigonometry concepts using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan tackled logarithmic and exponential equations as well as related geometry questions, emphasizing both algebraic manipulation and interpreting solutions graphically.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with organizing written work during algebra problems, leading to confusion when isolating variables—he skipped steps in rearranging, which hid sign errors.

In Year 5, a learner avoided showing working in long division due to uncertainty and often left answers incomplete.

For a Year 11 student tackling trigonometry, anxiety about using the correct formula sometimes meant he stuck rigidly to Sine/Cosine rule even when a simpler path was available, causing lost time.

Meanwhile, in Year 10, over-reliance on answer choices rather than interpreting worded questions directly made percentage tasks slower and less accurate.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Montmorency recently noticed some real shifts in students' approaches. In Year 10 maths, Hayden used to get stuck when isolating variables, but after working through the steps together he can now break down equations independently and even spots shortcuts on his own.

A senior student who'd previously rushed through questions is now re-reading each one and using alternative answers as clues—a big change from guessing blindly.

Meanwhile, a primary student has started tackling multiplication by "breaking" numbers apart for easier calculations, showing far more patience than before. Last session, she finished all her sums without skipping a single step.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thought I would drop you an email to let you know Aaron took his first lesson with the boys last night and everything seemed to go very well.  Brook and Lewis both commented on how the learning methods given were helpful and will hopefully put these in place. Thank you and hopefully this will be a turning point in the boys attitude towards this subject.

Mo was a fantastic tutor for my son,Joe.  She was patient and adjusted her her teaching pace according to Joe's needs in the various areas that needed work.  Mo explained everything carefully and made sure Joe fully understood everything without making him feel uncomfortable. Joe and I are so grateful for her help and I will be sure to call on her again if the need arises.

Yes, Isabel was a good choice , they get on well, and Freya says that she is good at explaining things in a way she can understand.

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