Psychology Tutor Seddon, VIC
The best thing a tutor can do is to listen carefully and empathise with their students. Learning can be very difficult and it is very helpful, for a tutor, to realise that each individual has their own learning style, motivation, and attitudes towards any subject. Most importantly learner's wellbeing should be an important factor when tutoring. I…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is equipping the student with the resources and tips they need to be able to be good and excel at a subject.

Be a mentor as well, mathematical skills might not be the only thing a child needs. Often a student doesn't perform poorly in school due to disinterest or an inability to understand the work, but because of various troubles in their lives. Pre-teens and teenagers are often reluctant to share their troubles with their parents but jump at the…

I think that the most important for a tutor to do, is to aid the student, not teach. As a tutor, I can be one of the many tools that students can use to consolidate and further optimise their knowledge. A tutor should be able to go through a student's work together with said student, correct and identify any areas that may be lacking in…

I believe that it's crucial for a tutor to create an open and supportive relationship with their student. A student needs to feel comfortable to ask questions and communicate what they need, and it's the tutor's responsibility to create a space where that is possible. As an older sister (and informal tutor) to a 10-year-old little girl, I've…

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

Inside South KingsvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ayaan worked through linear graphs by finding equations and intercepts, as well as applying Pythagoras' theorem to calculate triangle sides.

In Year 10, Lily focused on quadratic techniques such as completing the square and practiced with past exam questions to solidify her understanding.

For Year 11, Marcus tackled differentiation, including applications to maximum and minimum problems, and reviewed how to solve cubic equations using the factor theorem.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, particularly in algebra practice; as one tutor noted, "she needs to finish practice sample test questions."

In Year 11 Maths Methods, revision often focused on easier problems, with skipped harder textbook exercises—this limited readiness for exam-style questions.

A Year 7 learner avoided attempting unfamiliar trigonometry tasks, preferring to revisit solved examples instead of tackling new ones.

When a senior student forgot to bring previous test papers for review, valuable feedback opportunities were lost. This led to last-minute cramming rather than steady progress and undermined confidence before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Kingsville recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions now pausing the lesson to explain where she got stuck on last week's homework, then tackling logarithm problems more independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student who previously struggled with graphing trig functions worked through practice tests and confidently approached tougher tangent graphs without prompting.

In Year 4, one student who was hesitant to participate at first is now actively answering questions during lessons and learning from mistakes, showing a new willingness to engage each session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I think Molly is really getting a lot out of the sessions and a lot of support. I think that she is also a good role model for Molly.

Michelle is awesome and has taught me so much in a short amount of time. She never doubts my level of ability and is always encouraging me to go above and beyond. Her knowledge of specific maths topics is just out of this world. You guys have one awesome lady on your hands!

We have been extremely happy with our son Jacks progress and we are forever thankful for all that Thiru has done teaching and coaching Jack up to speed.

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 Yarraville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Margaret Mary's School.
