Provide the student with confidence in their own learning ability. Helping students find learning methods that work for THEM, which they can continue to use in the future is the most important thing, and also the most satisfying thing for me as tutor. My flexible teaching style means the student quickly feels comfortable and isn't afraid to ask…

Modern History Tutor
Honestly, I believe education is the backbone of a country. A good tutor’s impact on a student is far greater than anyone would ever realise. It empowers a student to build confidence, develops the ability to analyse critical problems and brings out the best solution. Their personalities develop during this time which stays forever. A tutor is…

Modern History Tutor
I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to celebrate their successes, big or small. It can be difficult for some students to maintain a love for learning, or even just develop a motivation to study more, so I believe that a tutor is a pillar of support for the student throughout their learning. A tutor can give that…

Inside West FootscrayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Angela focused on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and simplifying fractions using written examples.

For Year 10, Eleanor worked through regression analysis—including interpreting results on a graphing calculator—and practiced questions from Chapters 3A–C.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sydnie reviewed slopes and rates by applying linear relations to real-world problems such as speed and water flow calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often relied on a calculator for simple division (e.g., "1000/5"), which slowed progress on more complex tasks and reduced confidence in mental maths.

In Year 11 English, a student kept rewriting analysis paragraphs—even those praised by teachers—due to anxiety about finding the 'perfect' answer, rather than editing for clarity or building on strong points; as one tutor noted, "she rewrote good sentences out of self-doubt."

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student struggled to keep track of assignment dates and sometimes forgot to annotate key passages before assessments, making revision rushed and less targeted.

Recent Achievements

A West Footscray tutor recently noticed that Amelia now confidently applies concepts like regression analysis and can even explain her thinking out loud after reviewing practice problems.

In English, Eleanor used to rewrite entire drafts instead of editing, but she's begun breaking her writing into steps—first outlining, then making targeted edits—and now supports her arguments with clearer evidence.

Meanwhile, Sydnie had always been reluctant to ask for help with long division; last session she asked specific questions about the process and completed all her calculations without a calculator.

What they say about our tutoring

Lia is really enthusiastic about the help that Jennifer is providing which as a mother is very exciting and comforting.

Georgia is happy with Kelvin. She is very shy and so it is great that she feels comfortable with him.

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 Footscray West—or at your child's school (with permission), like Footscray West Primary School.
