Being present, genuinely caring and presenting faith and hope in their student. Having the knowledge required is not the most difficult part of being a tutor; instead, it is having the confidence, faith and hope in the student. Even if they may lack the skills neccessary at the beginning, there is always a way to overcome ones weaknesses, even if…

Tracking their learning. I believe that it is crucial to know where the student is on their learning ladder as well as their strengths and weaknesses. When their lessons are tailored while considering these aspects, it makes it easy for them to grasp new concepts quickly as they are challenging but not too hard, not too easy and just the right…

I think a tutor should help build on students’ current thought processes and methods through asking them how they’d first approach a challenging question and their next steps using the given information. This is because when people are stressed they resort to what they know best. As such, in test conditions students will be less likely to…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are create a supportive learning environment, explain concepts in a way the student understands, and build their confidence. A good tutor helps students develop problem-solving skills, so they don't memorise the type of question, but HOW to do that question, which encourages them to think…

It is vital to have patience, sympathy, and empathy with students who are struggling to understand the topic at hand.

Being willing to help, but also acknowledge the rare instances where a tutor may be unable to help to a confident level. I believe it is better to acknowledge if you do not know something rather than pretend you do and risk teaching something that is incorrect. When this problem is encountered, however, it is up to the tutor to rectify this by…

This ensures that students feel comfortable to learn and improve so that they can approach their mistakes not with self-doubt and a…

Local Reviews

The process to get started was super easy and I was matched with a tutor who was at the right age and level for my child. Very happy with the process so far
Alison, Tarneit

Inside TarneitTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam focused on structuring narrative essays and practiced spelling, along with exploring ways to improve descriptive writing using picture prompts.

For Year 8, Priya worked through maths questions involving decimal multiplication and division as well as revising her homework essay for clearer arguments.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan reviewed probability concepts—calculating mean in probability problems—and refined his English homework essay with targeted feedback.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, a student repeatedly finished essays without proofreading, leaving small grammar and punctuation errors; as one tutor noted, "proofreading was skipped, so capital letters after full stops were missed."

Meanwhile, in Year 11 Maths, another student often mixed up positive and negative signs when solving algebraic equations—misplacing answers despite understanding the method.

In Year 5, a student jumped into descriptive writing before brainstorming ideas and struggled to develop enough content for their paragraphs.

These process habits meant that clarity and accuracy suffered even when students had strong foundational knowledge.

Recent Achievements

One Tarneit tutor noticed a Year 8 student who previously rushed through essays now taking the time to brainstorm ideas and write longer, more detailed paragraphs, with fewer missing details than before.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who struggled with decimal problems managed to solve all their homework independently for the first time.

A primary student also showed a real shift by openly asking for help when stuck on spelling during writing tasks, instead of quietly guessing as they had in earlier weeks.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Freya and Lidia get on really well, Lidia is gentle, firm and positive all at the same time which works well for Freya. Freya's confidence is growing already and she did better in her last weekly maths test than she usually does which was a boost for her confidence.

Ranul has been fantastic. Ava seems to have really taken a liking to him which helps!

Matthew has become much happier to talk & often inform us about math problems & the confidence he has gained even at this early stage of being tutored is huge. Andrew has been a tremendous help so far.

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 Julia Gillard Library Tarneit—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Teresa of Kolkata Catholic Primary School.
