The single most important aspect for a tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off. I believe…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student realize that it's okay to be wrong and try again. But it's never okay to be wrong and not try again and give up. Furthermore, building confidence in the student is a crucial step in order for the student to succeed. I believe my strengths are patience and…

A tutor needs to be able to inspire a student to strive and succeed in their chosen field, while still maintaining a personal, friendly relationship with them. A tutor must help the student to understand the coursework, but more than that must teach the student how to think (not just what to think) and how to apply that knowledge in many…

Nellie was fantastic. Organised, responsive and G felt it was already making a difference to her maths.
Louise

Inside Waurn PondsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Austin focused on fraction addition and subtraction as well as tackling challenging questions on number operations.

In Year 10, lessons with Georgia included reviewing biology topics such as gene technology and immunity while also preparing a SAC cheat sheet for English text response to *The Crucible*.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel worked through DNA replication, transcription, and translation in Biology using Edrolo resources and exam-style practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student repeatedly hesitated to begin essays, telling the tutor, "I just can't start my introduction," which led to delays even when ideas were clear.

In VCE Biology, difficulty came from "falling into traps laid out by examiners" on practice questions; not enough time was spent reviewing past mistakes before moving forward.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student would often blurt out guesses rather than write out working for multi-step maths problems, making it hard to pinpoint where understanding broke down. This resulted in lost confidence and more time spent untangling errors instead of progressing.

Recent Achievements

One Waurn Ponds tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 biology student who used to hesitate with mid-level exam questions—now she tackles logic-based and gene technology problems quickly, even when the content is brand new.

In Year 9 English, another student who previously struggled to start assignments has begun drafting full introductions and conclusions on his own and now confidently explains how each section supports his argument.

Meanwhile, a younger student surprised himself by finishing his maths test much faster than expected, getting almost every question right after weeks of second-guessing his answers.

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 Highton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christian College Geelong - Senior School – Waurn Ponds.
