Science Tutor Wantirna South, VIC
I believe that a tutor needs to communicate with the student about their needs. I think that if the student and the tutor communicate well and both parties understand each other, then it will help the student tremendously. They will be willing to ask questions and participate during the lesson. I am an approachable person. I feel like my passion…

Science Tutor Wantirna, VIC
The most important and primary action that a tutor needs to do is to know his/her student as it elicits the tutor a good background about the student strenghts and weaknesses. This factor leads the tutor to construct an study method that is personalised and programmed based on the given student, this manifest in a more efficient and high quality…

I think the first and most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to identify their strengths or weaknesses. This allows both the student and the tutor to have a clear vision of where the student is sitting now. From this point, the tutor can then construct a suitable study goal with the student and build up their knowledge step by…

Being willing to help, but also acknowledge the rare instances where a tutor may be unable to help to a confident level.

Always be as clear with them as possible, and be ready for whatever questions they might have for you. Remember to always be challenging the student, but only a little bit at a time so they don't feel overwhelmed. Also important is to make sure they celebrate when they make progress so that they don't have to wait until their next test or exam…

Inside ScoresbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Esther worked on reading aloud from the Fitzroy Reader series, focusing on pronunciation and understanding of new vocabulary like "light" and "melody" using fill-in-the-blank exercises.

In Year 10, Jake tackled operations with matrices, including advanced problems involving communication and dominance matrices to deepen his understanding for SAC preparation.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia focused on VCE Maths Methods exam revision by practising extended response questions in probability, as well as reviewing multistage experiments and conditional probability scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 2 English, a student avoided reading aloud when longer words appeared; "she jumped to the first and last letter of 'mandarin' instead of sounding out each part." This made it hard to build confidence with unfamiliar texts.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's maths progress was slowed by incomplete homework on polynomial functions—assigned tasks weren't brought in for feedback, so misconceptions lingered.

In VCE Maths Methods, another student repeatedly left school assignment problems unfinished, meaning key skills (like exam-style extended responses) remained shaky before tests.

Each instance led to lost chances for targeted support or skill consolidation at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Scoresby recently noticed a big change in Joanne (Year 7): after struggling to keep track of her maths notes, she's now organising them independently and finishing most homework tasks correctly.

In Year 11 maths, Ashley went from hesitating to ask for help with functions to clarifying every doubt out loud during sessions, then tackling even the tougher problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to skip over hard words is now stopping mid-sentence to self-correct pronunciation—she read an entire book this week and handled tricky two-syllable nouns on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Henry has had 3 sessions with Justin so far, and it is going very well. His current topic is algebra and he feels that he is benefitting from the additional assistance. Justin is punctual, helpful (even stayed back an extra 10-15 minutes last week to help Henry with a problem-solving sheet) and is very pleasant to have around.

Thank you for your email.  I am really enjoying working with David, he makes the study fun and very interesting. We're working through some gaps in my knowledge and then I am greatly looking forward to getting into the much more complicated and exciting math.

Bella thinks that Benjamin is very nice and is helping her a lot so that's great.

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