Science Tutor Ballarat East, VIC
The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is provide the with the strategies, tools, and perhaps most importantly: confidence they need to succeed and thrive in their studies. I believe my strengths include my ability to effectively communicate and teach important concepts and skills to my students. In particular I pride myself on my…

Local Reviews

Our first tutoring session with Syed was amazing. He is so patient! Angus felt really comfortable with him and said he has already learned so much in one session.

Inside Mount RowanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Anna focused on solving linear simultaneous equations using the substitution method, carefully stepping through each process.

In Year 10, James worked on trigonometry topics including SOH CAH TOA and applying both sine and cosine rules to real triangle problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah reviewed a recent test by simplifying and rationalising surds as well as practicing elementary set theory and simplifying linear expressions with non-numerical coefficients.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student often misunderstood when specific rules—like the cosine rule—could be applied, leading to confusion in problem-solving.

As one tutor observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors," making it difficult to pinpoint where reasoning broke down.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner struggled to express her ideas clearly in writing; she preferred talking through thoughts but avoided written responses during reading comprehension tasks.

In both cases, gaps in showing working or communicating thinking made it harder for teachers and tutors to support progress or diagnose misunderstandings as they arose.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Rowan tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely heavily on hints now confidently tackling exponent law questions presented in unfamiliar ways, only needing a quick nudge to finish the last challenge problem.

In another session, a Year 11 student who'd previously hesitated to ask for help began openly requesting clarification when stuck with polynomials and could then divide them and find remainders independently.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student made real headway matching equivalent fractions—moving from frequent mistakes with arrays to correctly grouping and counting dots without reminders by the end of the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jessica and Mohamed had a great start and I think Mohamed is doing a good job getting to know Jessica. I'm pleased with his teaching style and method.

Evangeline is lovely. She is very patient with Steph and takes the time to explain things quite clearly to her. After Evangeline has been, Steph is very happy and excited that she has learned something new.

Jane is great. She is easy to talk to and seems very keen to help Tanner. Tanner also likes her and he already seems to have learnt things from her and is remembering it. While kids generally don't like any form of school work, Tanner seems to enjoy being tutored by Jane. She makes things fun for 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 Wendouree Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ballarat Grammar - Mount Rowan Campus.
