By helping them get a good grip of the foundation of the subject or topic. This is why I enjoy tutoring as well, as it lets me revise. I believe that with a good foundation the student will be more capable of catching on quickly to more harder topics and won't find it frustrating even if they initially struggle with it. Another important quality…

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

We are very happy with Anh and her tutoring of Lana.  We are taking a break over the school holidays and public holiday but will be back into it in a couple of weeks. Anh was very generous with her time leading up to Lana's last exam and although not anticipated given the short lead up time, her results improved. It's been a great decision for us to set the foundations for Lana with senior maths.

Afra has met with Jasmine once so far as we have had the holidays. I think it went really well and Jasmine is actually looking froward to her next lesson this Saturday.

Lazarus is very happy with Joseph. I think Joseph will be a good fit for Lazarus' learning needs.

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.
