Modern History Tutor Geelong West, VIC
In my opinion, a tutor should be able to to discern what motivates a particular student, easily identify a student's weaknesses and quickly build confidence in these areas through targeted practice. A good tutor establishes specific goals and ensures any tools or methods necessary for improvement are clear and available for the student to use at…

Inside BatesfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Phoebe revised indices in preparation for her exam, focusing on simplifying and evaluating index expressions.

In Year 10, Max tackled the discriminant and turning points within quadratic equations, using graphing to visualise how these features change with different parameters.

For Year 9, Emily practised solving probability problems using tree diagrams and Venn diagrams to compare outcomes of multi-step experiments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student repeatedly missed key details in measurement and conversion questions because the prompt wasn't read carefully—one session noted, "he did that today with one question concerning the conversion of units."

For a Year 9 algebra topic, another student admitted to getting distracted during lessons, especially when tired after school: "It happens, Zack did comment he was a little tired from the day's school lessons."

In both cases, not slowing down to fully process instructions or letting outside distractions creep in led to avoidable errors and some frustration during practice.

Recent Achievements

One Batesford tutor noticed a real shift with Zack, a high school student who previously hesitated to ask questions but now regularly pauses to seek clarification when something's unclear—he even back-checks his answers instead of moving on if he gets stuck.

In another session, Aiden, also in high school, has started laying out every step of his solutions neatly and talks through his reasoning aloud, showing much more initiative than before when he'd quietly muddle through mistakes.

Meanwhile, Hudson in Year 7 tackled a tricky fractions exercise by confidently explaining each step out loud and then successfully completed all set problems without errors.

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 Corio Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rollins Primary School-Batesford Campus.
