Science Tutor Hamlyn Heights, VIC
A tutor needs to analyse and understand the way a specific student learns, and cater for that. While a tutors ability to explain a problem is important, I believe the ability to explain a problem in a variety of different ways, while also showing a student that needing help with school is completely normal, is of upmost importance. I understand…

First of all, I can make the student comfortable with me which will allow the student to openly discuss there problems with the subject which will help the tutor in understanding the weak areas of the student and gradually improving those areas. I am agile and will be able to complete the syllabus within specified time and will make the student do…

I believe understanding a student on a deeper level and giving what he/ she needs. That could be motivation to move ahead , assurance of being there with them , confidence to explore interests and lastly a friend so that they can openly tell if they are not understanding something. I have always loved kids and I completely understand there are…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student realize that it's okay to be wrong and try again. But it's never okay to be wrong and not try again and give up. Furthermore, building confidence in the student is a crucial step in order for the student to succeed. I believe my strengths are patience and…

A tutor's most important thing is understanding how each student learns best. I believe in customizing my teaching style to match each student's unique way of learning. It's not just about imparting knowledge; it's about instilling a genuine love for learning and fostering independent problem-solving skills. Building a strong and supportive…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to provide the student with the tools to study and pass their assessments. The main goal for any tutor should be to help get the student to the point at which they no longer require a tutor. I am able to explain information in more than one way, and adapt my teaching methods to suit the…

Inside NewcombTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication and long division, followed by an introduction to the concept of factors using targeted practice problems.

Year 8 student Mia revised linear equations and practiced graphing algebraic functions, with extra attention given to interpreting tables of values for parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Liam worked through calculus skills including anti-differentiation, applying these techniques to find areas under curves and revisiting trigonometric integration through exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 4 maths student, repeatedly forgetting to bring essential materials like books and calculators meant valuable lesson time was spent improvising rather than consolidating division and multiplication skills.

In senior maths (Year 11), one student's over-reliance on mental calculations—especially in Pythagoras' Theorem—led to persistent errors; as the tutor put it, "She needs to remember she doesn't have to do all the maths in her head."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student hesitated to trust their instincts during calculus questions, second-guessing themselves even when they knew the process, which slowed progress through complex integrals.

Recent Achievements

A Newcomb tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with anti-differentiation now picking up the formula for brackets independently and using coordinates to find equations without prompting.

In another high school session, a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to attempt tougher exam questions began eliminating wrong answers methodically and used her calculator confidently for graphing tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often waited for reassurance before reading aloud started tackling new texts by herself, self-correcting tricky words as she went. Last week, she finished her chosen storybook chapter out loud without pausing for help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Austin is a positive, helpful young man who was very polite and knew his stuff. I would highly recommend him.

Tutoring is going well and Nick and Charlie are a great match! Nick has already made a great connection with Charlie.

Minh aka Truc has been fabulous in the short amount of time I have worked with her. She really has given me the confidence I needed to have a better mindset going in to an exam. From the start she was approachable and understanding. I never felt like I was being judged, she was able to answer all my questions with an explanation on how she got the answer.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ the King School.
