I believe that there is no easy way in tutoring, the same as there is no easy way to get the answer. Whenever they are stuck it is our job to guide them through and companying them along. Whenever there are difficult times, give out the answers is never the way to solve the problem. I'm very patient when teaching my students, I wouldn't mind…

Some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is ensuring that the student knows the content that has been taught. Also make sure that you are listening to the student and try to minimise their weaknesses and maximise their strengths. As a tutor, my strengths are being confident and only speaking what I know of. I will only teach…

The most important thing as a tutor, in my opinion, isn't to make them get good grades or to achieve high scores, but make them feel like they are improving everyday and making them feel a sense of accomplishment when they feel like they’ve truly learnt and understood something. I hope to make sure they are able to truly enjoy learning rather…

By doing this, they will automatically improve and maintain good grades. I think my strength is being a student where I can understand the struggles that…

Every student is unique, so it's essential to find strategies and approaches that work best for the student and for the tutor. There’s a saying, If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.

Thus I recall how many students feel a…

Thank you, Harold! I appreciate your expertise, professionalism and kindness in helping me think through some problems to help my son in his math class.

Inside The BasinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Daniel worked on building confidence with times tables and understanding fractions, using visual aids for tricky concepts.

In Year 10, Sarah practised solving simultaneous equations and strengthened her grasp of linear graphing through real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack focused on applying calculus to rates of change and integration problems, followed by revision of exponential and logarithmic equations in preparation for exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, skipping working steps in calculus ("he sometimes makes small mistakes due to skipping working steps which results in errors") led to incorrect answers that could have been caught with clearer layout.

For a Year 8 student, forgetting area and volume rules made it hard to tackle multi-step geometry problems; laying out problems more systematically was flagged as essential for future study.

In VCE revision, one student hesitated to revisit tough questions after setbacks—confidence wavered instead of retrying with fresh eyes.

During Year 12 exam prep, unclear use of formulas meant time was lost re-reading questions rather than solving them.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in The Basin noticed some real shifts recently. In Year 12, Jazz had previously struggled with advanced differentiation problems, but this week she managed to solve nearly all book questions on her own, only needing help for one particularly complex example.

For a Year 9 student, Jess had trouble reading and drawing graphs just two weeks ago; now she can confidently graph and interpret data without support.

Meanwhile, Hayden in primary school used to avoid practicing his times tables between lessons—now he completes them independently and even explains fraction concepts using models like pizza slices.

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 Boronia Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School.
