The single most important thing a tutor can do is encourage students. Without encouragement and support a student cannot learn anything. As a tutor it is our job to boost our students self esteem and confidence in their own abilities in that subject. I always want my students to feel comfortable around me and never be afraid to speak up or to make…

Local Reviews

Carol has been amazing and Alexandra has made great progress with her maths.
Joanna

Inside Dandenong SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aryan focused on recognising number patterns and writing numbers as words, alongside practicing addition with 4-digit numbers using hands-on worksheets.

In Year 9, Aidan worked through applications of trigonometric ratios in worded problems and reviewed the area of a triangle by tackling reasoning questions with formula breakdowns.

For Year 10, Maddy practiced graphing parabolas including translations along both axes and found x- and y-intercepts to consolidate her understanding before upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was set homework to write numbers as words up to the thousandths, but this was not completed, making it harder to reinforce number-word connections.

In Year 5 maths, finger counting persisted for addition and subtraction—"He should work on comprehending worded problems without assistance," one tutor noted—which slowed progress with multi-step questions.

A Year 9 student in algebra skipped showing working for equations, so sign errors went unnoticed until answers were checked.

During a senior exam review (Year 12), time management issues meant rushed final answers and missed marks despite understanding concepts; the lost opportunity lingered after the bell rang.

Recent Achievements

A Dandenong South tutor noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to ask questions, now works through challenging percentage increase and decrease problems independently and actively seeks clarification only when truly stuck.

In a recent session with a Year 11 student, the tutor observed her confidently applying SOHCAHTOA to trigonometry problems—something she struggled to visualise before—and moving on to more advanced cases involving unknown sides and angles.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed progress by using number lines for addition and subtraction without prompting, having initially needed step-by-step guidance for every question.

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 Dandenong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mt Hira College.
