I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to give them the confidence to believe in their abilities in order for them to view themselves as capable enough to learn new things, work hard and perform their best. This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to improve it.…

I am very good and breaking complex topics down into small attainable parts…

Patience, I believe, is a strong attribute a tutor must hold. Some students may not comprehend subjects as easily as yourself or others may find them. In order for the student to be able to work through the problem at their own pace and feel comfortable to speak openly with the tutor, the student must ave faith that the tutor will take the time to…

I believe understanding a student on a deeper level and giving what he/ she needs.

A tutor's most important thing is understanding how each student learns best. I believe in customizing my teaching style to match each student's unique way of learning.

A tutor, must first build a relationship with their student. By developing this relationship, the tutor can best determine what the student needs to work on and how they learn best. Through this knowledge, the tutor can maximise their strengths and minimise their weaknesses. I have been a student. I know how defeating it is when you can't grasp a…

The most important thing in my opinion is helping the student understand the problem, simply completing the problem for them helps no-one. If a tutor can do this, then the student should be able to complete any problem. Secondly, I think that it is important to treat the student as if they are an equal. Students who require tutoring generally…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to be available for a student at times of need, to clear their doubts, especially during exams, as that is generally the time when students have the most number of doubts. Students who don't have any uncleared doubts before an exam are generally more confident, and tend to perform better in exams.…

Catering to the student's needs is priority as all students are unique, understanding their current standing and help them reach their full potential is my aim.

Local Reviews

I was very impressed with Adele for her knowledge, ability to teach and relate to my son, I was surprised how organised and aware of what level and subject matter my son would be working on at school. After only 2 lessons with her she managed to prepare him for an end of year test where he managed a B+. This is a large improvement to the D he received prior to her help! We will be seeing Addle again for sure.

Inside NorlaneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Phoebe worked on indices revision for her upcoming exam, focusing on applying index laws and simplifying expressions.

For Year 10, Jaden practised solving quadratic equations by factorising and reviewed the Pythagoras Theorem alongside introductory trigonometry using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Arjun explored differentiation techniques including the chain rule and tackled problems involving derivatives of power functions to prepare for calculus assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student often left assigned homework incomplete, especially on factorising quadratics; as one tutor noted, "just finishing off the rest of the assigned questions" was still pending at lesson's end.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 number work, skipping written steps and guessing answers crept in during division drills—leading to "needs to focus and take more interest instead of guessing."

A Year 11 student struggled with surface area worded problems due to over-reliance on memorised rules rather than careful reading. This led to missed marks when interpreting exam-style questions under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Norlane tutor noticed that Phoebe, a high school student who once felt unsure about indices and surds, now confidently completes these problems on her own and agreed she no longer needs help in this area.

Another recent win involved clarifying tricky compound interest questions—after extra practice on exponential growth and decay, Phoebe began solving similar tasks with ease and much less hesitation than before.

In a Year 3 session, one student who previously rushed through addition exercises took more care and managed to get most two-digit sums correct without prompting, showing clear improvement in accuracy and focus during their last set of practice questions.

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 St Thomas Aquinas School.
