For me the best tutors I had through school were those who were infinitely patient and willing to put in extra time in order to ensure what they were teaching was fully understood. Especially for me it was important for teachers and tutors to recognise when I did not fully understand a concept - even when I thought I did - and persevere until…

The most important a tutor can do for a student is that they make sure the student knows that they are just as capable to be independent and build confidence in their own abilities; furthermore, they should give the students a chance to study in the most effective way based on their own individual learning styles and thought process.

Extremely happy with my son’s progress and Isabelle is very good at what she does.

Inside GreenbankTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Olivia tackled simple and compound interest calculations, applying formulas to practical scenarios.

In Year 11, Ethan focused on exponential growth and decay, along with an introduction to logarithms and their properties.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ava revised second derivatives—using them for graphing and motion problems—and practiced solving complex triangle questions drawn from recent classwork.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student hesitated to attempt exam-style modelling questions, even when her reasoning was correct—"she often takes the right steps but is very reluctant," as one tutor noted.

In Year 8 algebra, skipping key steps when rearranging equations led to small errors that made entire solutions fall apart.

A Year 5 learner avoided writing working for multi-step word problems, preferring mental calculation; this meant mistakes crept in unnoticed and were only found much later.

In senior statistics, over-reliance on notes and calculators left gaps in understanding, especially when faced with new calculator functions during assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Greenbank tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on notes now solving statistics problems almost entirely from memory, even tackling tricky triangle rules with new independence.

A high schooler recently started spotting and correcting their own errors while interpreting complex questions—something they hesitated to do before—which means fewer mistakes slip through.

In a Year 4 session, a student who previously rushed her work is now talking aloud about each maths step and highlighting key details, leading her to solve three-digit subtraction problems without any help 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 Greenbank Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Boronia Heights State School.
