To teach students that it is okay to be wrong or make mistakes as long as you correct it afterwards. It is important to attempt to answer each question on a test and work sheet as if you attempt it then you might get some points on your final grade. It is also important to become self confident and trust that you can tackle any problem. I will…

I believe that the most important thing about a tutor is their ability to motivate and encourage a student in their learning journey. A tutor must be able to show enthusiasm and positivity towards learning, and rather than using rote learning techniques, to engage the student so that they can demonstrate longevity in their education. It is…

The most important thing is ensuring you build confidence in a students understanding of the subject as a whole as it is through this that a student would be able to face any questions that may be posed to them and have confidence within themselves that they are able to understand the topics given throughout their learning. Without this, you would…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is make a student feel heard and valued. Giving them full attention and creating a space where they feel comfortable enough to ask questions and even make mistakes allows real learning to happen. I focus on building a personal connection so they trust the process, while also guiding them to reflect,…

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…

Being patient and flexible. Each child has a different learning style and speed. Therefore tutors need to be able to understand that and try new methods to teach if their current one is not very effective. My strengths as a tutor include being fun. I can teach students in a way that engages them, but I also know when I need to be firm. I am very…

A tutor must be willing to work with and adapt for each student. It is critical to not treat tutoring as one-size-fits-all - indeed many students may be getting a tutor because standard learning methods aren't working for them. It is also essential that tutors create a safe learning space where students are free to ask questions and give opinions.…

I think as much as it has to do with academics, it has a lot to do with mental health and the overall well-being of the student, too. They don't necessarily have to tell a tutor anything; they just need to know that this is someone they could potentially confide in. This also helps boost academic progress. And for a more technical aspect of…

Local Reviews

Extremely responsive and easy setup. Tutor is very knowledgeable and well matched.
Kristy Hughes, Edithvale

Inside EdithvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Luke revised percentage increase and decrease problems, then worked on **solving and graphing linear equations using key points**.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratics, learning to **convert equations into turning point form** and practice graphing parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack tackled probability questions involving Venn diagrams and Karnaugh tables, **interpreting compound events with unions and intersections**.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, he forgot to bring his calculator and textbook, which made it hard to follow new trigonometry material—this slowed his progress during the session.

For a Year 10 student, as one tutor observed, long questions with multiple bits of important and trivial information may throw him off, especially when diagrams aren't drawn or key facts aren't underlined.

In VCE Maths Methods (Year 11), working out was sometimes set out messily or steps were skipped in factorising quadratics, making it harder to find sign errors and slowing down revision.

Missed homework on non-routine probability questions also left some concepts unpracticed before class tests.

Recent Achievements

One Edithvale tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously struggled to finish maths tests on time—she now completes the whole paper within the allocated period and uses her calculator effectively without reminders.

In a recent high school session, another student, after weeks of confusion with index laws, managed to derive them independently and intuitively worked through FOIL method questions.

Meanwhile, a primary school student has started showing real initiative: instead of waiting for prompts, he now asks clarifying questions when worded problems are tricky, which never happened before.

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 Patterson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Edithvale Primary School.
