A tutor is a magician to the students. He can't do magic but he can do wonders if the chemistry between the tutor. The most important thing is the tutor will be a friend to the student without actually being a friend. The magic lies here. The mentality that I never give up. I was not a very gifted student so I had to work hard to understand…

In general, I believe that the best way to teach Maths/Science is in a way which the student understands the concepts rather than just giving the student a method to produce an answer, which is how these subjects are commonly taught. 1. I am self-directed, energetic, and enthusiastic. I have completed my Bachelor of Engineering + Management…

Studying techniques, creating good habits and of course, feedback for improvements! These are the important aspects that a tutor should show their students. There is much more to learning than parroting back facts - information needs to absorbed, regurgitated, reused in a practical sense. I have much hands-on experience in using my chosen skills -…

The most important thing I can do for a student is build their confidence in their learning. By the time I have finished a term (or 2) with my student's, they are more confident, more intuitive and approach their work with excitement. Additionally, I will provide the necessary tools for a student to carry on to their further studies. If you're a…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understanding and give motivations to students especially when they are having difficulties. This is because, with empathy and encouragement, students will perform better as they are more engaged and motivated in subjects they are studying. Furthermore, a tutor should give strategies…

I have a positive attitude even when the student is wrong, I correct them by not saying that they were wrong but by picking up the same topic and explaining it in the correct manner. Instead of spoon-feeding all the information, I expect students to brainstorm ideas. I motivate the student to think in various aspects which would help them broaden…

In mi opinion, a tutor should take care of the students in terms of ensuring that they understand each one of the concepts and topics explained. He/she should not hesitate in repeating an explanation as many times as necessary if the student doesn't understand any topic.

Based on my experience, I would love to help my students to find out the most appropriate study method for them. As I was in secondary school, science subjects were not my preferable subjects at all.

Local Reviews

The staff are very friendly, and communication is great. It only took a few days to get a chemistry tutor for our daughter, and the first lesson was excellent.
Peta Collins, Yarraville

Inside YarravilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Layla worked on graphing and finding equations of circles, practicing with real examples; Year 10 student Michael focused on solving simultaneous equations using the elimination method and also learned to graph linear equations.

While in Year 11, Sophia revised how to complete the square for quadratics and polished her skills with discriminants and solving inequalities, including practice with quadratic turning points.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student left homework unfinished last week, which meant key concepts in "completing the square" didn't get enough reinforcement before moving on.

In Year 9, a tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—the written work lacked structure and made mistakes harder to spot.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling quadratic equations relied heavily on mental calculations rather than writing out each stage; this slowed progress when more complex problems appeared.

One Year 10 lesson saw time lost as the student hunted for forgotten materials instead of practicing worded questions. Each scenario cost valuable practice or clarity at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

One Yarraville tutor noticed Isla independently spotted her own errors in SOH CAH TOA problems—a shift from earlier sessions when she waited for hints before correcting mistakes.

In a senior session, Samuel took initiative with his study routine by creating detailed to-do lists and reflecting on what worked after each study block, rather than relying solely on the tutor's prompts as he had before.

Meanwhile, Tata (Year 6) tackled tricky literacy tasks by rewriting definitions and practicing spelling until she could read them out confidently—an improvement from her initial reluctance to read aloud.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Cohen has been very good and encouraging. I feel that Olivia is starting to feel more confident with her maths. Thanks.

Everything is going well with Warit. Evan is happy with him so far. I trust that will continue.  He's comfortable to ask if he doesn't understand something. Warit has given Evan some good maths tips with his times tables that Evan has understood.

Emily is doing very well and Melanie is great. Emily is really comfortable with her and although it is early days she is improving. I am really happy with Melanie and the progress so far.

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 Yarraville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Augustine's School.
