A tutor is someone who can help to support and strengthen students' self-efficacy one-on-one. This is extremely important as classroom teachers have to manage multiple students in a classroom and cannot provide the same undivided attention as a tutor can. Tutors instil confidence in their students, assist them in unpacking and understanding areas…

Confidence is a key element that tutors can either instil or take away from a student. All children are born with a capacity to learn and it is our job to help them realise their great potential. In saying that, tutors must always be kind, encouraging and supportive of a child so that they can be confident enough to venture into the unknown and…

Inside Yan YeanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jasmine worked on decimals and fractions, focusing on multiplying and adding/subtracting them using visual examples.

For Year 9, Marcus reviewed trigonometry concepts including solving equations with radians, as well as tackling holiday homework problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ruby revised quadratic equations by practising factorisation methods and applying the quadratic formula to determine the discriminant in different scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, skipping written steps when solving equations led to arithmetic mistakes that became hard to spot later; as one tutor noted, "writing out each step makes errors more obvious."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled with worded problem-solving because key school homework wasn't completed before lessons—this left gaps in understanding during sessions.

In primary English, messy assignment planning meant main ideas weren't clear at the start, so time was lost untangling confusion instead of developing writing.

For a senior student, forgetting class materials slowed progress and limited engagement with new content in each session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Yan Yean noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with factorisation patterns now confidently using common methods to solve equations by the end of their session.

Another high school student, after weeks of finding probability challenging, was able to accurately draw box plots and calculate standard deviation by hand—tasks they'd hesitated with before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once waited quietly during difficult tasks has started telling her tutor exactly where she needs help and even demonstrated new problem-solving strategies she'd discovered herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Deepti has a kind and patience method of explaining things to our daughter who has shown a steady improvement in her Maths ability since beginning her sessions. Deepti has instilled a new confidence in our daughter which has been a great comfort to us. We would recommend Deepti's services to anyone

Rosie is tutoring my child in year 7 maths and has built up a great rapport with her. Through my observations I can see that Rosie has a strong understanding of maths and is able to explain ideas and concepts very easily. She has a lot of patience and always checks my daughters understanding and offers alternative explanations where needed. Rosie is always punctual, friendly and polite and I am very happy with the progress that has been made to date.

Madeline was a great tutor, friendly, easy going and understanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their studies

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