A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns.

Very happy with the maths Tudor that has been matched with my 13 year old daughter. We have only had 2 sessions so far and already I can see positive results. Looking forward to continuing our Tudor session on a regular basis.

Inside Valley ViewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Lilah worked on reading and writing time on analogue clocks, as well as building confidence with multiplication tables through games and practice.

Year 7 student Emily tackled simplifying algebraic expressions from word problems and spent time strengthening her understanding of ratios in different forms.

For Year 8, Adam focused on key statistics concepts such as mean, median, and mode, applying these to solve a range of real-life worded problems using clear step-by-step methods.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Maths, Emily often skipped carefully reading worded problems and overlooked crucial details—her tutor noted, "she tends to read quickly over the questions without reading it properly." This led to confusion with BEDMAS tasks and mistakes in order of operations during homework.

In Year 3, Lilah hesitated to start independent work and repeatedly needed reassurance before answering basic time-telling questions, slowing her progress. A lack of confidence meant she sometimes asked for direction even when she knew the answer.

Both scenarios show how rushing or hesitation in process—not content—led to repeated errors or delays mastering new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Valley View tutor noticed a high school student who had previously hesitated with dividing mixed numbers now handling the process more confidently, even recalling steps without prompting, which marks an improvement from last week.

Another older student made real progress in understanding long division logic—something she'd found confusing before—by working through problems and explaining her thinking aloud.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to guess at words is now asking for help when stuck and can retell story events after reading, not just sound out the words. Last session, she finished an entire book and explained what happened on each page.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am extremely happy with Nicky's tutoring. She instantly developed a lovely rapport with my daughter Bonnie. Nicky is very patient and great at explaining maths concepts in a way that is easy for Bonnie to understand. I am already seeing a much more positive attitude to maths in Bonnie and she feels more confident to do maths lessons at school. We got a good one!

Oscar is learning more from Sean than he is in the classroom. Sean is very patient and has established rapport.

Chloe gets along very well with Huey & has told us she feels much better already.

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 Ingle Farm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Prescott Primary School, Northern.
