Biology Tutor Bundoora, VIC
A tutor can enable students to fully grasp and comprehend the depth of what they learn and this is the most important thing, as it opens up the door for understanding any problem and applying knowledge. A tutor can also create a passion for learning, which I believe is an essential tool required for success in education. I believe I can help…

Biology Tutor Alphington, VIC
I believe this varies with the student's age and the goal of tutoring. For younger high-school students, the most important thing is guiding them through the subject/s they find tricky, to develop academic confidence and inspire an intrinsically motivated learner. However, with senior high-school students seeking to maximize their ATAR or other…

To know the needs of the student and cater to them specifically. And to also motivate them to do work and exercises that will help solidify understanding and boost grades. I provide both teaching and explaining using my own resources, and I make homework tailored to each student. When one explanation doesn't work, I am able to come up with other…

Listen! The most important thing a tutor should do for a student is to just take a step back and listen to the questions/concerns of their students. This is the first step that any tutor should take before starting a class or planning out a lesson. Even something simple as asking the student how their day at school went can be crucial in…

Biology Tutor Kew, VIC
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to deepen/ignite their interest in the area which they are teaching or make a student come to love a subject they struggled with before. Furthermore, as a tutor, I feel that helping a student build a strong foundation of knowledge is important as future knowledge they learn would…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is listen to and understand their goals as an individual person and then try their best to help them reach and exceed their academic goals.

The tutor can help a student to build confidence as well as help pupil in the study by making them practice on their weak points, as a teacher never judge students weakness but helps them to improve it. I believe that tutor and student relationship to be more friendly and believe that if concepts are strong of a student so they can go a long way.…

Inside YallambieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Olivia focused on algebraic techniques using Chapter 4 of the Edrolo textbook and also worked through transposing between mixed and improper fractions.

Year 8 student Sam practised for an upcoming test on probability and statistical analysis, including real-world examples to consolidate understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Zoe concentrated on Cartesian coordinates from Chapter 9 of the Edrolo textbook and explored applications by plotting points on coordinate grids.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's incomplete homework is making it difficult to build on core algebra skills—"he will not progress any further in Mathematics unless he tends to his homework."

In Year 7, poor attention span led to missed steps when handling decimals and multiplication tables, with focus drifting mid-question.

For a senior student, as noted, "the complete disregard for time and lack of participation severely hampered the potential learning outcomes" during geometry revision.

Messy handwriting and reluctance to read or write have also slowed comprehension in upper primary lessons; requests for neater work are frequent before clarity improves.

Recent Achievements

One Yallambie tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially struggling with fraction addition, pushed through and now solves algebraic equations using fractions—something he found intimidating at first.

In a recent session, two brothers in Year 8 went from distracted to enthusiastically competing against each other to answer percentage questions, showing new drive and focus compared to earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to hesitate on three-digit addition now completes these sums without error, finishing an entire set of problems correctly by himself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I'm really happy with my tutor Karen which has helped me a lot with my work so far, she really does help me with my errors and to understand my topic and it has made a difference to my learning and I'm more ahead of the class now. I would really like to thank this company for letting me try and push my ability to my greatest. I hope the rest of year stays the same and once again thank it had made a big difference.

Jade has settled in really well with Sangdi, and has told me that she feels she is learning and understanding new things each time they have a meeting. I am also happy with Sangdi as I can see that he has already made progress with Jade.

Holly has stated that Jennifer her tutor is helping her with her Maths. She is certainly in a better frame of mind with Jennifer than when either myself or my husband had tried to help in the past. Early days yet but looking positive.

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