A tutor can help a student get more fluent, confident and clear about concepts and working. When they have someone who makes learning effective, fun and interactive it makes learning fun and worthwhile.

For any student, progress will naturally vary and giving them that support and encouragement to persevere and overcome hurdles in their learning is,…

Be the student's friend - otherwise they won't want to be there, and are only doing it because their parents want them to. I've experienced this myself and safe to say, it's not effective for the student. I can relate to the students quite well - I used to get tutored, and I hated it - I didn't like how the teachers treated me. As such, I strive…

Inside SassafrasTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on multiplying larger numbers and times tables for speed, tackled area and perimeter using diagrams, and practiced simplifying fractions.

In Year 8, Tanya focused on identifying the main idea in comprehension texts and began writing Tanka poetry, while also exploring persuasive language techniques through brainstorming activities.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Vien refined essay planning by developing arguments for a practice English SAC and practiced making written responses more concise.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student avoided harder algebra questions and repeatedly focused on familiar topics; as noted, "sometimes tries to avoid harder tasks and prioritises known topics," which slowed progress with new concepts.

In Year 11 English, another student's essay responses lacked original examples and critical thinking—she needed more time "to come up with a range of different and unique examples for each essay."

A senior student preparing for VCE struggled to recall older content under test conditions, making it difficult to apply the right techniques in complex exam questions. Forgotten methods resurfaced during revision sessions, creating last-minute stress before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Sassafras tutor noticed that a Year 3 student, Tanya, who was initially shy about reading aloud, now volunteers to do so and is more willing to talk through her thinking when answering questions.

In Year 8 maths, Daniel used to hesitate on his times tables even when correct, but now works through multi-digit multiplication problems with much less prompting and can explain where he gets stuck instead of guessing.

Meanwhile, in VCE English, Tasia has started setting clearer goals for herself during essay planning and independently restructured her paragraphs for clarity by the end of the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We met Aprinder, and he is a delightful young man, and he gets on well with our daughter Rebecca. She likes how he has so many different ways to show her how to solve a problem! I do understand that it will take some time until we see results, but I have a good feeling that she will excel down the track! Thank you for your prompt service.

We have been extremely happy with Mihika. Luca has always been a good Maths student but we felt that he needed a little push on year 7 to get him into good habits & not get behind. We feel that with the help of Mihika he had been able to achieve this. We will make sure to recommend your service to anyone looking for tutoring services Thank you

This all seems to be going really well. We are very happy with James and his reliability, knowledge of the area and approach to tutoring.

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 Monbulk Reading Room—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sassafras Primary School.
