For me it is important for tutor to be able to encourage and make the student enjoy learning. Because in order for students to learn faster, they would need to be willing to digest the new knowledge and information given by the tutor. Furthermore, it is important for tutor to look at a problem from many different perspective, because one point of…

I think teaching students how to be independent is something tutors must do. Prioritizing things like active learning wherein students get to question things themselves, rather than being spoon-fed answers is important. Making them learn that they can find the answers themselves if they put in the effort is important. And obviously creating all…

Inside South YarraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jamie worked on comparing and simplifying fractions, as well as converting between fractions, percentages, and decimals using targeted worksheets.

In Year 7, Jonas revised algebraic expressions and practiced calculating the perimeter of both regular and irregular shapes, also tackling pattern recognition with visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jamie focused on operations with negative numbers and explored probability through tree diagrams and statistics homework.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, Tommaso sometimes rushed through surface area questions in geometry, forgetting to include the base, which led to incomplete answers—his tutor noted, "don't forget adding up the area of the base."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student's small and unclear handwriting during algebra problems caused confusion, even for himself when reviewing work.

In Year 6 maths, Jamie hesitated on multi-step worded questions and often doubted her own working; this hesitation made it hard for her to check solutions confidently.

During a senior revision session, unfinished notes and missing formula sheets left one student unprepared for practice tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Yarra recently noticed Jamie, a high school student, moving from hesitancy with negative numbers to tackling calculations and multi-step equations involving negatives independently—a shift from needing frequent reminders just weeks ago.

Tommaso, also in high school, used to rely on prompts for statistics work but now finds Q1, median, and Q3 quickly and draws box plots accurately without help.

Meanwhile, Jonas in primary school surprised his tutor by not only distinguishing factors from multiples—something he struggled with before—but also simplifying fractions accurately by dividing common factors.

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 Prahran / Windsor Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ Church Grammar School.
