Maths Tutor Wandin North, VIC
Helping people understand why learning is important to them. Kids can find it hard to see why what they're learning is important. I think a fundamental key is showing how the process of learning itself is the important aspect, rather than specifically the content. While the content is important to grasp, the process of regular work towards a goal,…

By making learning fun and relatible students can see the benefits of learning the content. This allows students to see the practical part of their learning and will be more engaged to learn something they can use now or later in life. I am a very patience person which is important when teaching because students need time to try and understand the…

Maths Tutor Lilydale, VIC
I think that possibly the most important thing a maths tutor can do is instill confidence in a student. By motivating and building a positive relationship with the student a tutor can really motivate a student to succeed. It is extremely important to be patient and understanding with the student, and provide support and encouragement. Finally, I…

Inside SilvanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Codi focused on revising circular functions ahead of an upcoming exam, including applying sine and cosine rules.

With Year 11 student Ayelet, work centred on simplifying surds as well as operations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of surds for deeper understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Erin practiced identifying stationary points and explored their application to context-based problems in calculus using graph sketches.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, one student's writing often became overly wordy—"sometimes her language is a little too wordy which can result in the sentence losing some meaning and impact"—making it hard to communicate ideas clearly in essays.

In VCE Maths, another student showed a strong preference for one multiplication method and was hesitant to try others, limiting flexibility during problem-solving.

A Year 7 maths student sometimes relied on calculators instead of practicing pen-and-paper calculations, especially with times tables and surds. This led to slower progress when asked to work without aids during lessons or tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Silvan noticed that Maya, after weeks of needing her notes for every division problem, managed to finish a set unaided of 10 questions in just 3.5 minutes without looking at her yellow book—she even set herself a goal to do it faster next week.

Meanwhile, Lizzie (Year 11) has gone from repeating back ideas to developing her own interpretations during text analysis, recently making creative links between real-world events and themes from her literature class.

In Year 10 maths, Ayelet now works through surd simplification steps clearly on paper and often chooses the correct trigonometric ratio independently.

Sofia was progressing and Sofia was very comfortable with the tutor. She gave Sofia a lot of help and her understanding of maths had improved and she learned to enjoyed maths, even the homework set and that surprised me. Thank you again.
