Psychology Tutor Highton, VIC
It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

Psychology Tutor Geelong West, VIC
A tutor’s most important role is to support and guide the student’s learning in a way that builds their confidence. It’s not just about explaining content, but about creating a safe space where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. A tutor should encourage independence by teaching strategies that help the…

Inside ThomsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication, the long division method, and explored factors and highest common factors through practical examples.

For Year 9, Amy practised solving linear equations and worked through probability questions using frequency tables and bar charts to build her statistics skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled calculus by revising chain rule differentiation and anti-differentiation, then applied integration techniques to find areas under curves with exam-style problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly forgot to bring her school books and calculator, which made it hard to check her class progress or work on current tasks; as one tutor observed, "needs to try to remember to bring her books and calculator home so I am able to see where she is up to in class."

In senior Maths Methods, a Year 11 student hesitated with multi-step calculus questions due to second-guessing—she often paused even when her working was correct.

During test conditions, a Year 10 student's stress led to avoidable mistakes despite strong content knowledge. This tension was clear when the clock started ticking.

Recent Achievements

Real initiative in preparing was shown by a Year 11 student who compiled all her notes into a summary sheet and confidently tackled new types of problems, something she'd hesitated to do before.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with anti-differentiation worked through tricky trigonometric integrals without making errors, even handling longer equations independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started paying close attention to tips on arithmetic and now tries out strategies unprompted, rather than waiting for help—last session, she solved all multiplication problems on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy with Rachel. She is very professional and her and Samantha have developed a good working relationship. Samantha has expressed to me that Rachel explains things really well and now she is understanding concepts she hadn't previously.

As you say it is hard to gauge the impact this early, however they seem to have a few laughs and Steve has said Jack is a lot faster in his response time. So that's progress considering Jack's willingness to begin extra learning was very poor. It didn't take more than 2 lessons for that to change. To date we are happy and are glad we didn't leave it any later, as it it the beginning of term I'm sure i will be getting feedback from Jack's teacher through the term on his improvement.I look forward to that. We want him to enjoy all lessons not dread the thought of attending classes. So far so good, Steve seems like a great match.

I just wanted to let you know how very happy we are with Tianna's tutor, Josephine. Josephine is so bubbly, easy going, very patient and great at teaching Maths and making it fun to learn.   Tianna is quite taken with Josephine, has built a great rapport with her and has made huge progress with her algebra in the short while Josephine has been tutoring her. Josephine is definitely a great asset to your company and we are so happy she is Tianna's tutor

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tate Street Primary School Geelong.
