Maths Tutor Fitzroy, VIC
The most important thing, according to me, is that the tutor is able to sympathise with the student. More often, in a class full of people, a student can feel like they're the only one who's falling behind. A tutor can help the student get out of that sort of thinking, and personally, at a one-on-one level, be involved in helping the student out…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, specifically in maths, is to identify and remedy any gaps in knowledge (unknown to the student) that are prerequisites for understanding a topic. I believe my strengths are mathematical maturity, compassion, and my easy-going attitude. These allow me to understand a student's…

Giving the student the tools and forming the basis to improve themselves is crucial. I think forming the student's understanding for answering any sort of question whether it be in English or Maths is necessary for achieving marks that most students cannot gain. While for maths a lot of the questions are based around simply using a formula,…

The most important thing a tutor can do is never give up on a student.

A tutor should make the student feel comfortable about admitting the lessons that the student really doesn't understand, and eventually make that student feel confident by equipping her/him with methods to break down and analyse the problem in digestible steps. I firmly believe a tutor should not spoon feed a student; instead, let him/her attempt…

It was very easy actually, the company have been good to deal with and found is a tutor within a few days. The tutor contacted me and communicated very well, he wanted to know all about what my son was struggling with in maths so he co up led prepare. He arrived on time and my son felt like he was a good fit for him. Hopefully it continues well!

Inside NorthcoteTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Zoe revised **indices and algebra** in preparation for an upcoming test, then explored linear systems including midpoints, distance between points, parallel and perpendicular lines.

Hamish, also Year 11, focused on **algebraic techniques and index laws** while preparing to re-sit a test.

Genevieve in Year 8 worked through complex worded problems involving **multiplicative thinking**, as well as consolidating skills with decimals and long multiplication using step-by-step practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for calculus found that working mostly in her head—rather than on paper—led to confusion with integration steps; as one tutor noted, "writing each line out would have caught the missed 'c' value."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 chemistry student relied heavily on memory rather than structured notes, which made it harder to check molecule charges and states during practice questions.

In Year 5 maths, skipping written working when subtracting large numbers meant carrying errors went unnoticed until checking time.

Confidence wavered after mistakes in these moments, leading to slower progress through multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

A Northcote tutor noticed that Hamish, a Year 11 student, started using his own organised notes to independently work through tricky indices problems—something he hesitated to do in earlier sessions.

Faith, in Year 8, moved from needing step-by-step support with expanding equations to solving them more accurately and quickly by the end of her lesson.

In primary years, Genevieve showed a new willingness to try different methods for division when remainders came up; she now explains her steps out loud instead of waiting for prompts.

Last week, Zoe identified her own mistakes while working on linear systems and corrected them without help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The tuition is going very well - we love Sigrid and Sian has improved in her confidence and ability beyond our expectations.

Liam and Georgie liked Stephanie and found her explanations and teachings simple and easy to understand.  They seem to be very happy with her which is great after only 1 session each!

Thank you for the email. Alex is here now tutoring Sarah.  He is absolutely fantastic and has really helped her improve. We would like to stop the tutoring for now and see how Sarah goes in Term IV. If she finds anything difficult and requires another tutor I will contact you to arrange.

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 Northcote Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Santa Maria College.
