Listen to the students and understand what the actual issue is. More often than not it's not the concept itself but how the student is processing the concept, and if you don't see that you'll only be able to help them understand through repetition. My ability to tailor lessons to a students needs and study styles. I enjoy working with both…

To recognise that no two students are the same and that a process like learning needs to be personalised so that the best results are achieved. This personalisation also means that its much more likely for the student to open up and fully engage in the process of assisted learning as they can feel that the session is catered just towards their…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only be able to teach them the material, but to also be able to mentor them. By mentoring, I mean having a close, trusting relationship with your student in order to help them improve their skills on a daily basis. The mentoring relationship allows learning to go beyond…

The most important thing is to listen and understand your students. Once you understand what they want and need, and how they work, you can develop teaching and learning methods that can push them to their best selves. Communication is also vital in a tutor-student dynamic. I tend to observe people a lot, so it’s easy for me to figure out their…

What a tutor should and need to do are guiding a child to enhance their strengths and improve their weaknesses with all of the power invested in ourselves; reminding and figuring out what their barriers are to success (such as are they afraid of they can't pass? or they are not receiving any support from their beloved ones?). In my power, I'd do…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help build/maintain self confidence as well as to incite a love of learning by awakening curiosity.

The most important thing is to learn what the student needs. It is easy to go off track and teach all the information you know, but I believe the students' request come first. Even though the students might not know what they need, the tutor should work with them and identify which areas the student need improvements on. Hence, the tutor could…

Local Reviews

Konstantinos was a great teacher. He explained the maths very well.
Anthony, Altona North

Inside Altona NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student John worked through solving linear equations and inequalities, using textbook examples to reinforce balancing techniques.

In Year 10, Olivia focused on conditional probability, including practice with tree diagrams and interpreting union and intersection scenarios.

For Year 11, James reviewed the properties of tangent graphs versus sine and cosine functions, then practised sketching and finding x-intercepts for trigonometric graphs ahead of his upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students did not complete or submit assigned homework, especially on algebra calculations and exam revision tasks. In one Year 11 session, "she was asked to send finished questions by email," but no work arrived, leaving gaps before upcoming assessments.

For a Year 10 student revising trigonometry, textbook exercises set for mastering unit circle values were left unfinished, so confusion lingered into the next lesson.

A Year 8 student focusing on factorization received extra problems but struggled to keep pace with required practice—missing out on timely feedback before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Altona North tutor noted that Millie, a Year 5 student who used to wait for prompts, is now actively jumping in to answer questions and even works through her own mistakes without hesitation.

In a recent high school maths session, a Year 11 student who had struggled with graphing trigonometric functions started approaching practice test questions with visible confidence, independently solving both sine and tangent graphs after weeks of uncertainty.

Another tutor described how Neha, previously hesitant about essay writing, managed to analyse arguments and write a complete language analysis essay on her own for the first time.

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 Bayside P-12 College-Altona North Campus.
