The most important things a biology tutor can do for their students is make themselves available to them when they are needed and to make them feel supported. Showing patience with them and confidence in them gives them an added boost to their own confidence knowing that someone believes in them. I believe my strengths as a tutor are my patience…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a biology tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

The single most important aspect for a biology tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off. I…

Personally for me, the teachers at school never went into what you really need to succeed in the HSC, and being one student in a class of 30 meant most times your questions were left unanswered. Having being tutored, having someone available to ask questions that I did not understand was very helpful throughout my schooling career, and I hope to…

A tutor needs to be able to inspire a student to strive and succeed in their chosen field, while still maintaining a personal, friendly relationship with them. A tutor must help the student to understand the coursework, but more than that must teach the student how to think (not just what to think) and how to apply that knowledge in many…

The lesson went well with Alex. He had a lovely approach with Kieran, patient and methodical. For the more complex questions he was prompt to come back to Kieran by email with some suggested formula when he didn't have the solutions on the spot, which was much appreciated.
Natalie

Inside South GeelongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliz focused on double-digit multiplication and long division, then moved into understanding factors through practical exercises.

For Year 8, James tackled linear equations using the y = mx + c format and progressed to solving simultaneous equations by both substitution and elimination methods.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia worked intensively on calculus topics such as applying the chain rule and quotient rule for differentiation, alongside finding tangents and stationary points in exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student often forgot to bring her books and calculator home, which meant her tutor couldn't track progress on Pythagoras' Theorem or help with specific classroom gaps.

A Year 11 student tackling calculus was observed "skipping a step or going too quickly," especially when anti-differentiating, leading to missed marks on problems with fractions.

For a younger learner in Year 3 English, hesitance in reading aloud led to flat intonation—pauses at commas and question inflections were sometimes missed.

When materials are missing or routines are unsettled, targeted feedback is delayed and small misunderstandings can snowball into test anxiety.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Geelong noticed a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated with differentiation now methodically eliminates incorrect answers on multiple choice problems and confidently uses her calculator to check gradients—an impressive step up from earlier sessions.

Another high school student reported feeling ahead in class this year, having worked on algebra topics during tutoring before they were covered at school, and recently compiled all her notes independently for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to second-guess herself when reading aloud now finishes passages smoothly and even asks for more challenging words each session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

Morgan has responded very well already with Hazel.  She said her explanations of problems has made her maths much more easier. We are very happy with Hazel.

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