Biology Tutor Dromana, VIC
A tutor should listen to students and always clearly explain anything, and check to see if the student understands. A tutor should also celebrate successes with the student, or support them if they are disappointed with results and reassure them that they can improve. I am an excellent listener and communicator, so would have no trouble…

We were very happy with Harley and he definitely helped Kye pass year 11 methods.

Inside TuerongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Finn revised Index Laws in preparation for an upcoming test and began developing note-taking techniques, later moving on to probability notation and interpreting outliers, measures of centre, and spread in statistics.

Year 9 student worked through plotting linear equations and finding their slope and intercept using both equations and graphs. Another Year 9 session focused on drawing line graphs from equations and determining x- and y-values, practicing with real data points for accuracy.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's notes in algebra revealed a tendency to avoid writing out full working, with one tutor commenting, "he skipped showing steps in equations, which hid sign errors." This habit made it harder to spot and fix mistakes, especially when revising.

In Year 11, another student struggled with notetaking—his work on index laws often lacked clear step-by-step examples, so reviewing concepts later became confusing.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student was encouraged to "write out bigger problems rather than relying on working them out in her head," as mental calculation sometimes led to lost steps and unnecessary errors mid-solution.

Recent Achievements

One Tuerong tutor noticed a big shift in Finn, a high schooler who used to stay silent but now regularly "talks aloud" through problems and grabs pen and paper on his own without prompting—he even started tackling data summary questions independently.

In another session, Riley made clear progress with algebra: after weeks of struggling, he can now expand brackets confidently and solve nearly any linear equation without second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a younger student recently surprised her tutor by scoring 100% on her 7x tables after practicing new memorisation strategies she'd previously found overwhelming.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you. So far so good. Sarah is very approachable and friendly, quick to respond to emails etc. and has a great collaborative style. Jake, who was skeptical of tutoring at first, has found the sessions very useful.

We are delighted with Charlie as Gabrielle's tutor. He has been prompt, polite, pleasant and extremely helpful. Within 2 sessions I could see her confidence in attacking problem solving questions had improved and approach to Maths in general.

Tammy is great.  She has a friendly manner and she is enthusiastic at every session. Lucy seems to like her and she has some great methods for teaching.  She engages Lucy and makes the sessions fun and interesting bringing things along to help Lucy understand what she is trying to teach her.  She is concentrating on what Lucy's weaknesses are while thinking ahead for Lucy for year 7. From  my observations of the sessions I think she will help Lucy enormously. I am very happy with Tammy to date and hope that she is happy to continue on with Lucy

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 Mornington Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Balcombe Grammar School.
