The most important thing a maths tutor can do for their student is relate to them. Everyone is different and learns in a different way. Hence, you must adjust your method of teaching for each individual student. Some people are auditory, visual or written learners, some like algebra, calculus, or trigonometry. Moreover, if you are understanding of…

As a maths tutor, above all, you should be helping your students achieve their goal. Whether they're aiming for a pass or excellent marks to enter their preferred university, a tutor should be helping them succeed academically. Realistically, a tutor will most likely not change a student's opinion of a particular subject, but that is fine. I think…

I believe striking a balance in how the tutor interacts with a student is key. Being able to listen and identify a student's problem areas, as well as being firm enough to hold their attention is vital. A good tutor can set expectations tailored to a student's abilities and with them raise them while boosting their confidence. Overall personality…

The most important things a maths tutor can do for a student are assisting them with their studies and provide comfort. I do not think tutors should spoon-feed answers to students as that will not help them fully understand and learn. Other than that, I believe the ability to comfort and reassure students is extremely important for tutors. I have…

Personally I think the most important strategy a maths tutor can adopt is to try and give the student the space to figure out the answer themselves; rather than giving it to them. This will force the student to take an active approach to learning rather than passively listening to the tutor, which I have learnt can be tempting but is ultimately…

It would be a waste for me to not use my experience in VCE, high school and primary school in helping my students learn…

I believe the most important thing a maths tutor brings is 1 to 1 guidance. A good tutor can work with the student and guide them to achieve their individual goals, and can adjust their methods and pace as necessary, unlike in a class at school where the pace of teaching is same for everyone. I have a strong grasp of the sciences and English, and…

In my opinion, the most important thing a maths tutor can do is inspire a student to love learning. I believe that we are motivated by our passions, therefore instigating a passion for learning within a student means that he/she will be far more driven towards achieving his/her academic goals. By enabling this love of learning within a student, a…

I think the most important thing, and probably the greatest thing I can give to students is inspiration. My subject knowledge is something they should be able to take for granted. If I can inspire them, then they will go on learning long after their contact with me is ended. In addition, the passion is another vital element for math tutoring. I…

Simplifying lessons and subject matters are important, but patience I believe is the most. When a maths tutor is not patient and does not have the passion for teaching, the student just would not learn as easily or as much. I am patient and persistent. I would always make sure my student understands the subject matter before moving on to the next.…

Inside PrahranTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Ava focused on applying the Pythagorean Theorem to word problems and practiced unit conversions for measurement, including using conversion prefixes.

In Year 9, Nicholas worked through negative integers and reviewed fraction concepts, while also tackling algebraic skills like solving single-variable equations and simplifying expressions.

For Year 11, Ben prepared for an upcoming probability test by analyzing tree diagrams and completed exam revision covering parabolas and key syllabus topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes "guessed what to do next" in algebra instead of logically working through each step, which led to avoidable errors when negative numbers appeared.

In a senior session, forgetting to bring completed homework meant valuable time was spent reconstructing past work rather than tackling new challenges.

For a Year 10 trigonometry task, "relying too heavily on formulas" without understanding when or why to use them caused confusion on non-standard problems.

As one tutor noted, "skipping steps made mistakes with + and – harder to catch."

Neatness in written solutions often lagged behind verbal reasoning, especially during revision.

Recent Achievements

A Prahran tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally nail SOH CAH TOA, now manipulating trig equations independently after struggling to set them up on her own.

One high schooler earned full marks on a quiz—word problems included—when last term he hesitated with multi-step solutions and often skipped them altogether.

Another secondary student who used to quietly guess at answers has started speaking up about learning strategies, even offering feedback mid-session.

This week, a younger student completed her entire practice paper before the lesson and came prepared with specific questions she'd written down herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We're very happy with Shaun, he's a lovely young man and has surely helped Fergus with his learning.

Everything has been going well  - Isabella is very happy with her tutor and scheduling tutorials and communication with him has been no problem at all.  We would highly recommend him to other students.

Daniel is great and established a good relationship with James from day one.  That's the first part of the battle! We are now looking forward to James getting more confidence and mathematical skill over the remainder of this year.

Maths tutoring in Prahran

We have all had the experience of a "bad teacher" and we know it's not pleasant. Often the teacher is simply a bad match for that particular student rather than being a "bad teacher" in general but in either case the student has a serious problem. This is why many parents contact us for a private tutor - their child just can't "get it" when their teacher is teaching.

It's incredible how one explanation results in more confusion whereas another results in that "aha" feeling we all love so much! It is really a matter of getting the "right" tutor and not the "best" one. We see this every day in our work. A tutor might have hundreds of hours of experience and might have received dozens of testimonials from students, however, even such a tutor doesn't click with all students. Every tutor gets bad feedback sometimes. It's all about getting the right fit and this is what we do!

We will organise a 1-on-1 maths tutor in Prahran to come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will be a local Prahran maths tutor so scheduling lessons will be easy. Also, no booking fees, no minimum terms, no cancellation costs, no nonsense! And here's the best thing: your first lesson is a trial. So if you feel that the tutor wasn't a good fit, we'll organise someone else. It's our Good Fit Guarantee.

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 Prahran / Windsor Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Prahran High School.
