Ishita

Geography Tutor Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to guide them instead of doing the work for them. It is important for the students to feel that they have control over what they are learning and for them to be encouraged through feedback and practice. I am a very patient, determined and creative person. I can understand what a student…

Anna is patient, thoughtful and communicates very clearly with my yr 6 son. She works logically through concepts and problems to identify and overcome maths issues in a way that suits my son. Highly recommend Anna!!

Inside SelbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel practised times tables and built confidence with more complex multiplication, then moved on to adding and subtracting fractions as well as reading 24-hour time.

Year 10 student Isaac focused on analysing cinematic devices in The Princess Bride and developed his skills in political cartoon analysis using scene workbooks.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Vien prepared ideas and a main argument for a practice essay and refined responses for an upcoming English SAC by practising concise re-wording of sentences.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student hesitated to expand on ideas in English essays, sometimes leaving planning unfinished—he needs to think and plan faster on his own as well due to the time limit during the actual SAC.

In Year 8 maths, another student skipped homework practice after lessons, which led to forgotten steps when tackling multi-step problems later.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's spelling errors and hard-to-read handwriting slowed down both their essay writing and comprehension tasks; paragraphs often took extra time just to get through.

When exam stress hit in VCE English Language, fear of making mistakes led one student to avoid original examples in essay responses altogether.

Recent Achievements

A Selby tutor recently noticed one high school student who, after weeks of struggling to clarify her ideas in essays, was able to draft a well-structured introduction and now actively proofreads for clarity instead of skipping that step.

Another secondary student surprised himself by recalling details from earlier assessments during a quiz and confidently explained the strategies he used on his SAC—something he hesitated to do before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has begun tackling new maths topics with less prompting, even choosing to try harder multiplication questions independently by the end of the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Joshua is happy with the tutoring he is receiving from Nicholas and is confident that it will help him with his exams.

But can I just say how lovely she is and in particular Aidan is feeling very comfortable with her to the point he's happy to have her come during the school holidays!! He's normally a little reserved and can sometimes take a while to warm up but they seem to have clicked really well and he doesn't appear intimidated like he can do at times.

All going well so far. We feel confident that it will help with Emily's confidence.

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