Help them to gain back their confidence. I mean from primary to middle school or even high school, the curriculum might be hard but not that hard that students could not pass it. I believe any students are capable of finishing high school with a decent grade. Most students I met were just getting distracted, or not spending their time enough on…

The two most important things would be to clear the basics of the subject and to keep the student interested in it. Most of the students develop phobia of maths or stop being interested in the subject because they do not understand the basics. This in turn, leads them to not focus on the subject even if they are capable of doing good in it or they…

Every student has different expectations from a tutor and thus the most important thing might vary from student to student. Some of them might just be looking for a pass in the subject whereas others might be looking for really good grades. For some grades wont even matter and they strive for understanding the subject thoroughly. I believe the…

Having patience.

It is important to keep their spirits high and encourage them to explore alternative methods of…

A tutor must make themselves approachable and be a role model figure to their students. As someone they have a more personalized time space with compared to their school teachers, the students are often likely to look up to their tutors as figures of inspiration and personal ceilings. It is our duty as these figures to not just live up to their…

A tutor provides personalised attention to a child which helps children learn at their own individual pace.

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.
