English Tutor Botanic Ridge, VIC
Be persistent and encouraging, as well as being clear and concise. I believe that tutors should be patient and accepting. This will help both the tutor and the student. My strengths are in English. I am extremely attentive to detail, and am very good at explaining concepts. I am patient and kind so I love seeing people take their time to…

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.

Inside PearcedaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Stef worked on dividing fractions and understanding ratios, as well as preparing for an upcoming fractions test with targeted revision.

In Year 8, Ava focused on solving linear equations and exploring gradients through graphing exercises to strengthen algebra skills.

For Year 10, Lachlan reviewed index laws—covering both positive and negative indices—and tackled probability questions using set notation to prepare for his next assessment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student faced difficulty managing test time, often rushing through questions on trigonometry and missing key marks—she skipped steps in working, especially under pressure.

In Year 7, a lack of confidence when starting algebra problems led to hesitation and frequent requests for reassurance before attempting solutions.

For a Year 5 learner, distraction during lessons meant important instructions were missed; as noted, after 30 minutes it was difficult to re-engage her with multiplication tasks.

Meanwhile, a senior student's over-reliance on guessing answers in fractions sometimes replaced careful problem-solving. This left calculation errors unresolved until review.

Recent Achievements

One Pearcedale tutor recently saw a Year 9 student start asking questions near the end of lessons instead of staying silent when confused—a real shift from their earlier reluctance to speak up.

In a Year 11 session, a student who previously struggled with simultaneous equations was able to solve problems more independently after some focused practice.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised her tutor by identifying fractions without prompts, something she'd found tricky before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

James has got off to a good start-in his first test this week, he got 91% in his specialist exam.  Matthew is able to work through all the challenging questions with James and ensure that he understands the theory behind the maths.   I definitely feel that James has commenced Semester 2 with a more positive approach to Specialist Maths and I look forward to seeing improved results.

We are more than pleased with Kai's maths progress. I can tell that Ben is such a good tutor because he had described Kai exactly in his report. All Kai's school teachers throughout his school years have wanted Kai to speak up in class. Kai isn't shy when he's relaxed and comfortable, it's just in those environments I guess he's quieter. I hope he gets the confidence to speak up soon and I think with Ben he will and I am looking forward to the tips he can give to Kai.

Really happy with the tutoring and Stephen is great, really professional. My son is feeling a lot more positive about catching up so really happy.

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