I can teach in an easy language so…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be responsible and devotional in their work. They must be willing to be active in trying to help the students understand the problems using different methods like breaking down problems in smaller steps, or explaining using paraphrases, etc. Having said that, the tutor must…

Tutors should always be there to support their students and patiently relate to them. Tutors must be able to adjust how they communicate so students remain highly motivated to learn.

For me, there are two important characters that I believe every tutor/educator should have. Those are patience and compassion.

She or he needs to have the kindness and understanding to be very supportive when a mistake happens, it is important that the…

A tutor should use as simple language as possible because using fancy language can make them loose interest as they won't know the words. A tutor should involve the students into the discussion so that they don't sleep off during the session.

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 :)

Local Spots for Tutoring
