A tutor can offer a relaxing atmosphere for students, with no pressure, so students can have a better understanding of the tasks asked to be solved. working one on one give better results and more inclusion of student being tutored. My strength as a tutor is that I have an excellent ability to explain tasks and I am able to simplify things very…

I'm really happy with how my child's grades turned out. My son Michael was really struglling with maths and I didn't know how to help him understand.

Inside ScotsburnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Greta worked on negative numbers and like terms, including simplifying expressions such as 7x - 12x - 5x, and used number lines to reinforce addition and subtraction with negatives.

Year 10 student Sophie practiced trigonometry by labelling sides of right-angled triangles, writing sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, using the calculator for unknowns, and rearranging equations to solve for x.

For Year 11, Daniel revised domain and range of functions along with graphing linear inequalities using worked examples and practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was noted to "jump into answers before fully understanding the question," which led to avoidable errors in algebra and rearranging equations—especially when isolating variables.

In senior maths, one student did not double-check answers or review layout, so sign mistakes in simultaneous equations went unnoticed, costing marks.

A Year 7 learner hesitated to show written working out of fear of making mistakes, often erasing steps rather than clarifying thinking on paper; this slowed progress during fraction tasks.

For a Year 11 physics topic, failing to convert units properly left gaps in multi-step calculations that couldn't be spotted until too late.

Recent Achievements

One Scotsburn tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to get stuck choosing the right trigonometric ratio is now confidently labelling triangle sides and deciding between sin, cos, or tan without hesitation.

Another high schooler, previously reliant on prompts for forming equations, can now set up quadratic problems mostly independently and applies the quadratic formula independently once the equation is ready.

In a younger session, a primary student who initially made frequent errors finding fractions of arrays started grouping dots methodically and correctly identified equivalent fractions by counting rather than guessing—finishing the last few exercises with barely any mistakes.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for the reports. Michael is fantastic. James and I both really like him and he is a very dedicated and diligent tutor.

We are very comfortable with Anne's tutoring of Tim and we think there has been a steady improvement.

Your help is very much appreciated.  I'm very happy with Nathan and Mason finds him very supportive. Mason does lack study skills and Nathan has been great in getting Mason focused.

Chemistry tutoring in Scotsburn

Chemistry is just one of those subjects, it either clicks or it doesn't. Many students find maths and physics easy, but when it comes to chemistry they just feel lost.

And it's understandable. It can be challenging to connect the concepts to real-life, see how it all relates to their day-to-day. When they're struggling, students tend to give up easily and at some point, they stop trying altogether.

Chemistry Tutor Scotsburn

If your child doesn't catch on right away, or maybe they consider chemistry a complete waste of time, it can be hard to convince them otherwise. What we've found is that students react better when it comes from someone who they can relate to.

They react to mentors, someone closer to their age, who shares the same experience. That's why tutors are in a unique position to help a student grow.

That's why great tutoring can make such a big difference.

Want to find out how? We can allocate a local Scotsburn chemistry tutor within a day or two. They reach out to you and set up a first lesson whenever you and your child can make it.

If you like the tutor's approach you keep working with them. If you are not 100% satisfied - we consider it a trial lesson and find a better match. It's that simple!

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 Sebastopol Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Buninyong Primary School-Scotsburn Primary School.
