Maths Tutor Frankston South, VIC
I believe that if a tutor can help the student really enjoy the work by making it simple as well as gratifying, then the student will be motivated to work ahead and aim for their best - a student can be top of the class even if they don't believe it at first! I think I have a good amount of patience and ability to motivate a student. I don't…

The most important thing is to be patient and understanding with the student, helping them solve and understand their current subject problems.

It is most important for a tutor to have the student\'s best interest at heart whilst also forming a healthy relationship.

I think while teaching Maths the transfer of concept is just 20% of the work. Practicing every single type of possible question is what would perfect the concept and I think that as a teacher is the biggest contribution we can do. My way of communicating with the student and my patience I think. Apart from that I am very flexible which at times…

A tutor should be able to, help the student feel confident in their knowledge, minimise stress for the student and discuss the future of the students education.

I've found that one of the most important things for a tutor to keep in mind is pacing. Some students take longer to form a complete understanding of the concepts they are learning, and need a bit more guidance and time (and that's fine!). Others can blitz through content and tend to enjoy more challenging (extension-type) questions. It's…

In order for students to learn to the best of their ability, a tutor needs to create a safe space for them to make mistakes. I believe that the most valuable way to learn is through making mistakes. Additionally, a tutor must demonstrate healthy and effective communication with the student. Both of these aspects foster a respectful and honest…

Inside SomervilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions, then worked through dividing fractions and ratios using visual models.

For Year 8, Daniel practised identifying triangles and calculating angles before moving on to review quadrilaterals and their properties.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah tackled surds and indices, then revised exponential functions ahead of her upcoming test to build confidence with these advanced algebraic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student entered the session unsure how to start factorising questions and hesitated when faced with algebra, often "mixing up what formula to use" if steps weren't clearly mapped out.

In Year 10, exam time management issues surfaced: working slowly through long-form questions meant several were left unfinished.

For a Year 4 learner, division concepts only clicked after repeated prompting; homework was rarely attempted independently, as one tutor observed, "needs more initiative to do work."

In chemistry for Year 11, over-reliance on the data book led to missed method errors—extra practice is still needed outside sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Somerville tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions is now regularly seeking clarification on tricky algebra steps, especially with simultaneous equations—a big shift from staying silent last term.

In Year 8, another student made a leap in geometry by correctly identifying angles and types of lines without prompting after weeks of confusion, even applying the number line for negative numbers independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled to complete homework now attempts times tables tasks at home unprompted and recently finished six pages of maths work almost entirely error-free.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the assistance Thanh has provided. It has certainly improved her confidence.

We have had two tutor sessions with Rhys and thus far we have been very happy with everything and more importantly Stewart is quite comfortable with Rhys and is finding the sessions helpful.

The tutoring is going well. Liana is settling in well and she finds Jacques explains things in a way she can understand.

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