Science Tutor Thomson, VIC
To provide them with skills and the confidence to apply their knowledge independently, essentially becoming the guide on the side, rather than having to lead them each step of the task/problem. - Can easily build a rapport with students, allowing them to be at ease in asking for help or further clarification of a topic - Can differentiate…

Science Tutor Marshall, VIC
Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students. This way…

Science Tutor Norlane, VIC
It is to be able to get students to, first of all, enjoy learning their subjects. Once they love what they are learning, it is crucial to gradually improve their skills to achieve the highest outcome possible for them. I am very persistent in helping students with their struggles and friendly in my interaction with…

Be patient. Not everyone is able to understand everything at the same rate and it can take time. You have to be patient with the student and be able to explain the same concept ina variety of ways to be able to adapt the core principles of the topic to the student. I have a pretty firm grasp on topics such as maths and science and have been able…

Julianna was excellent last year, and she got Emma back on track with her maths. She participated in ICAS and did really well.

Inside WhittingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliz worked on double-digit multiplication, long division, and was introduced to the concepts of HCF and LCM in maths, while also practising descriptive essay writing and expanding vocabulary in English.

Year 9 student Amber focused on algebraic equations involving negative numbers as well as quadratic expressions, including their introduction and review.

For Year 12, Marcus tackled advanced calculus skills such as differentiating with the chain rule and quotient rule, finding tangents and normals to curves, and anti-differentiation for areas under curves using integration.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often forgot to bring her calculator and school books, which meant she couldn't always show progress on Pythagoras and trigonometry in sessions—"I haven't got my book again," she said, so practice was sometimes limited to what could be remembered.

In VCE Maths Methods, one student relied heavily on mental calculations even when a calculator was allowed, slowing down problem-solving with surds and Pythagoras.

A Year 3 learner hesitated during basic addition due to doubts about multiplication tables; this made it hard for her to move confidently into division tasks or keep up speed in classwork.

Recent Achievements

A Whittington tutor recently saw a Year 12 student become much more methodical with multiple-choice exam questions—she now carefully eliminates options using her knowledge of gradients and stationary points, rather than guessing as she used to.

In Year 10, another student who previously needed step-by-step help tackled simultaneous equations independently, applying the point of intersection technique confidently for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who once hesitated before answering maths problems is now noticeably quicker and applies tips straight away; last session, she finished all her subtraction questions without pausing for reassurance.

What they say about our tutoring

Kai and Ben are getting on greatly. Kai had a big win last week. He went from 53% on a maths test to 88%! He received champ of the month award and a chocolate bar! He was thrilled! We are starting to see the results now. Thank you Ben for everything!

Aslinn is currently travelling along well. We have valued Jess's contribution to her reaching her goals in maths. If Aslinn needs further assistance we will have no hesitations in using your service.

My daughter progressed so well with the support of your tutor, Eliran and we think she is ready to work independently. Thank you for providing a great educational service. We will keep you in mind if we need your support for the future.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Whittington Primary School.
