Physics Tutor Mount Helen, VIC
Give them the time and knowledge that a regular school teacher cannot as they're taking responsibility of a larger class, unlike a private tutor who teaches one on one in a more friendly home environment. My strength is my strong math and engineering background and my many years of experience as a private math tutor as well as university teacher…

Physics Tutor Mount Helen, VIC
A tutor should help a student feel confident in their abilities, and ensure the student understands. A tutor should also help students find intrinsic motivation, help them find a reason to study that comes from their own goals and aspirations, rather than having study feel like a chore. I focus on fundamental understanding, and try to find gaps in…

The most important things a physics tutor can do for a student is provide the with the strategies, tools, and perhaps most importantly: confidence they need to succeed and thrive in their studies. I believe my strengths include my ability to effectively communicate and teach important concepts and skills to my students. In particular I pride…

Local Reviews

Benjamin is a very kind and patient person and always encourages Sophia to do her best. He would email/text either myself or Sophia each week to check what topics she required assistance with at the next session so that he always came prepared. Benjamin also provided old maths papers and exam techniques throughout the term to help Sophia. Benjamin is thoughtful and considerate and is very passionate about his job, so much so that he almost always goes over time at each session without giving it a second thought.

Inside SebastopolTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Greta worked on negative number operations and expanded her skills in solving algebraic expressions, also revisiting fractions and decimals with visual aids.

Year 10 student Sam focused on trigonometry by labelling sides of right-angled triangles, writing and rearranging sin, cos, and tan ratios, and using a calculator for practice questions.

For Year 11, Ava revised the laws of exponents while simplifying equations and tackled previous test problems involving surds and set notation to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often avoided writing out working in algebra, which made it difficult to spot where sign errors crept in; as a tutor observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 11 physics, forgetting to convert units (e.g., not changing from km² to m²) led to confusion during problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student hesitated to ask for help on worded maths problems and left answers blank rather than risk being wrong. This reluctance meant her teacher missed chances to target support and left her feeling unsure after tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sebastopol noticed one high school student who had previously struggled with trigonometry now quickly identifying triangle sides and choosing whether to use sine, cosine, or tangent with minimal prompting.

Another secondary student, who used to rely heavily on guidance for algebraic equations, recently solved most problems independently and confidently applied the quadratic formula without help.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made steady progress with fractions: after frequent errors matching fractions to visuals at first, she began grouping arrays accurately and counted dots methodically for equivalents by her third exercise.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Only had one tutoring session at this stage however very helpful with an A+ outcome for maths exam on Friday.

Rick is the perfect tutor for Emily. She likes ths way he explains maths and gives her useful tips to help remember things. Emily is very happy and is starting to gain the confidence that she can improve her maths.

We are really happy with Nimesh. He has been so accommodating and is a great tutor - Mia is getting a huge amount out of the lessons.

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 Sebastopol Primary School.
