I believe that a tutor should be friendly with the student so that the student can freely discuss the problems with his/her tutor. The tutor can use interesting techniques to describe the concepts which will increase the concentration of the student and also his/her eagerness to learn. Again asking the student questions about the topic can help…

I think the most important thing is to understand the student's cognitive ability and be able to relate to their world. Giving them examples using whatever they're into, for example, cartoons/video games, in order to teach a concept goes a long way. There isn't a bible when it comes to teaching, it's an evolving process, which gets better over…

In my opinion, making the student feel comfortable is key to establishing a healthy and optimistic relationship with learning. The teaching space needs to be free of judgement and should feel inclusive. A one-size-fits-all method of teaching disregards every student's unique circumstances so the tutor should make an active effort to empathise with…

A tutor should try to think like a student tutor should try to get into the child’s mind, mostly a tutor should try to bend according to the child’s need because if a tutor is just like a machine then they won’t be able to critically analyse where the child is unable to grasp the knowledge so it’s very very important that a tutor should…

Make the topic enjoyable. The amount of times my mind has wandered off in lectures cause of how the lecturers just spew information and not engage with the students.

Local Reviews

Amir has been fantastic and Riley has really enjoyed his sessions.
Tory

Inside West MelbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised long division and worked on times tables, reinforcing strategies for multi-digit calculations.

In Year 10, Hamish focused on solving systems of linear equations using elimination and revisited the distance formula between two points, building understanding through step-by-step problem walkthroughs.

For Year 11, Mia explored function notation and transformations, including graphing piecewise-defined functions and finding inverses with attention to domain and range.

Recent Challenges

Homework was not always completed on time by a Year 10 student, with missed textbook practice slowing progress in mastering functions and quadratic equations.

In Year 7 maths, "she still has a slight habit of inconsistency in her intermediary steps," which led to confusion when working through times tables beyond 5.

A senior chemistry student became overwhelmed by the volume of new content, leading to unfinished assignments and less focus during sessions after school tests—"the amount of information is overwhelming and it is hard to know what to focus on." This left key revision tasks incomplete before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in West Melbourne noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with redox reactions is now consistently finding oxidation states correctly after targeted practice.

Another high schooler has started asking for more challenging math questions, showing real initiative—last week, she independently worked through rectangular hyperbola problems that used to cause confusion.

At the primary level, one student cut her 10-times-table timing nearly in half (from over eight minutes to just four), and now volunteers to explain her steps out loud without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with the way James is tutoring Julian. Julian is responding well and is comfortable around him being of similar age and James hasn't long completed his HSC. James is passionate about tutoring and is going out of his way to bring out the best in him and to reach his full potential.

We are very happy with how things are going. Luke is a great tutor. He explains things in a way Hannah can understand and if she doesnt he is very patient and tries it another way till she does. Thank you

Zoe is great, Dylan really likes her and feels comfortable around her which is great. as you said, we wont be seeing actual result right away but I think its going to work :)
