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…

I believe the most important factor is allowing students freedom of answering a question in their own way and not limiting them to the words of a textbook. As a tutor, my biggest strength is understanding the mindset of my students and adapting to their needs. Secondly, I have a very calm personality that equips me with skills to handle any…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to consistently give them positive reinforcements and build their confidence within the subject they're struggling with.

Perspective. Often people tell me how they've never had to use the skills they learned in School or University. I find the opposite is true! I constantly come across real world examples of maths and science concepts being applied in new ways. Being able to "bring everything together", to connect knowledge with application is important for any…

I feel that a necessary skill of a tutor is to be both a great listener and team player. Because in the end, for a student to succeed and thrive there has to be a positive and motivating relationship between the student and the teacher; so that they can only go up. Having had experience teaching aquatic skills to children and adults, I've found…

the most important thing is for the tutor to teach how the student best learns. We are not in large class rooms, so we have the luxury, to teach in specific ways, that might only be good for that one student. I'm patient and can therefore spend as much time as the student needs on any given topic. I'm thorough, so I make sure there are no…

Not all students are modelled the same way. Some are able to learn by studying the books while others require a lot of practice. Hence I believe that teaching the student how to study based on his or her strengths is the best thing a tutor can do and I will strive to achieve that at all costs. I spend a lot of time communicating with the student…

Take on different roles, understand not to 'do' the question for the student but rather help them to understand what is happening.

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

Gary has been a good personality fit with Myles. He has been gentle and encouraging and Myles is motivated to do more maths throughout the week where previously he was feeling it was all too hard.

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

Thanks for all your help with Griffin over the years. Its really made a difference to his grades.

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.
