Giving constructive feedback. Answer any questions the student has. Give advice and direction for general exam strategies. In uni or highschool, many students complain that the teachers or lecturers aren't able to explain properly or give any useful feedbacks. Therefore I think the 3 items above are the most important in helping the student to…

To teach students that it is okay to be wrong or make mistakes as long as you correct it afterwards. It is important to attempt to answer each question on a test and work sheet as if you attempt it then you might get some points on your final grade. It is also important to become self confident and trust that you can tackle any problem. I will…

I think not just to teach but to integrate the mathematics into their brain. Ways to do this include repetition, paraphrasing and getting them to say things back to me in their own words, these three things are extremely important so that they don't jut forget things when I leave. I think I'm really good at explaining the maths, carefully and…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is motivating them to be the best version of themselves in many aspects, and not only academically. The discipline tutors can instill to their learners can be implemented in many other areas of their lives. Providing as a source of motivation gives students a sense of purpose of what they're…

One of the most crucial contributions a tutor makes involves delivering personalized instruction. In traditional classroom settings, accommodating diverse learning preferences is challenging. Tutors, however, with their 1-on-1 or small group approach, offer detailed and customized lessons. This allows students to absorb knowledge more effectively,…

1. Empathetic: Understands what it’s like to be a student who may lack confidence, feel stressed, be overwhelmed or just not understand the material. 2. Honest: Don’t hesitate to say that you do not know about a particular concept. Trying to bluff your way through will only hurt the student and your reputation in the long run. 3.…

Inside WaterwaysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ethan practised writing numbers in expanded form and solved digit combination challenge questions that required using each digit only once.

For Year 10, Sarah worked on solving quadratic equations by factorisation and was introduced to the discriminant, applying these concepts directly to her schoolwork.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James focused on finding equations of lines given a gradient and a point, then continued assigned work on linear relations using his Easter homework sheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student frequently avoided writing out algebra steps, preferring to do calculations mentally—this made it hard to catch sign errors and led to confusion when checking answers ("he had the habit of trying to do all the steps in his head before answering").

In a Year 11 Physics session, equations from electromagnetism were only vaguely recalled unless prompted, as no organized summary or reference list was maintained.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student with creative story ideas found transferring thoughts onto paper challenging; great verbal detail vanished when faced with the blank page. Each instance meant time spent retracing rather than progressing.

Recent Achievements

One Waterways tutor noticed a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help now confidently requesting clarification on using the calculator's shift function for inverse trigonometry—he then completed angle problems independently.

In Year 8, a student who used to guess at comprehension answers began searching for "hints" within texts and solved worded maths questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger learner in Year 4, once distracted during spelling activities, managed to write each target word three times as directed and sorted them into categories with much more focus than before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Lille has taken well to tutoring so far and Jackie is a great match for Lille so we are happy.

So far all is good. Lili and Jasmine get along lovely and she is teaching Jasmine some math tricks which is great. Jasmine is more keen to practice her maths also.

Aliesha and Winnie are working very well together. I have already seen the results. Aliesha's first assessment task in Year 10 general maths, she scored 37% but in her latest assessment task she achieved 92%, which is an amazing result. Aliesha has regained her confidence which is reflected in her school, work and at home. She is so much happier. Thank you for all your helpful advice during my initial enquiries and a big thank you to Winnie.

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 Dingley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Aspendale Gardens Primary School.
