Strength for a tutor…

Science Tutor Shepparton, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help motivate them and allow them to feed off your enthusiasm for the subject. This can affect change in the student if they previously had negative experiences or just do the subject because 'they have to'. Make learning an adventure, not a chore. My greatest strength is patience. I am calm…

All in all, I believe students themselves have to be motivated in order to study well and succeed. Tutors are there only to help. Yet, good tutors can give encouragement and support to students when needed, thereby leading them to a better way for their dreams and goals. Thus, I consider support and encouragement as the most important gifts a…

Inside OrrvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Zane focused on addition and subtraction strategies, including bridging to 10 and using patterns, as well as reading comprehension with full-sentence responses.

Year 11 student Emily worked through regression analysis by creating scatterplots, fitting trendlines, interpreting the coefficient of determination, and identifying outliers using IQR and boxplots on the CAS calculator.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack revised core financial mathematics topics such as flat rate depreciation—calculating annual rates via recursion—and practiced constructing amortization tables to determine principal reductions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student skipped key steps when solving long division, leading to incomplete solutions—"he forgot the multiplication and subtraction before dropping down the next digit," as a tutor noted.

In Year 11 maths, another student avoided revisiting feedback on annuities and matrix orders, leaving errors unaddressed before assessments.

For a Year 5 English task, one learner's essay draft was difficult to follow due to messy handwriting and unclear structure.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student didn't complete all spelling homework after a busy week; this left gaps in class activities and affected confidence during oral tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Orrvale noticed Savannah, a primary student, went from hesitating over long division to accurately working through the four-step method with barely any help by the end of her session—a big shift from earlier confusion.

In Year 11 Maths Methods, Sienna moved past initial uncertainty and finished able to solve complex worded problems using matrix recursion relations, confidently interpreting transition matrices for percent changes.

Meanwhile, Ava (Year 12) started her first lesson unsure about circular functions but left demonstrating a clear grasp of sine and cosine principles, even explaining tangent solutions on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Mayeesha is doing a great job with tutoring Joanna. She comes in with such a great attitude to teach. We are blessed to have her.

Sarah is fabulous! Friendly knowledgeable and flexible with times to work in with my child. Very happy with how she is working with my daughter.

I am pleased to say that things are going very well with Tina so far. Tina is organised, confident and already has a good grasp of Olivia's issues and Olivia really likes having her come each week. I look forward to her continued progress.

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 Shepparton City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Orrvale Primary School.
