Biology Tutor Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC
A good tutor not only finds the best teaching method to suit the learning preferences of their student, but are also able to increase their student's confidence and mindset, helping them be both physically and mentally prepared for assessments. I am very proactive with answering questions and concerns. In the past, my student was 2 years behind on…

A tutor should understand a student's struggle and achievements, and be able to bring out the fun in studying to help them in their academic struggles. I encourage and motivate students to excel and set a foundation for future studies, as well as providing an entertaining and educational environment suitable for each student. As a current student…

I aim to set up a relaxed environment with the students so that students feel comfortable and focused working on subjects. Understanding the level the student is at, so that they are able to improve their skills at a suitable pace is essential. Next, providing worksheets, exams and textbooks so that they can continue improving by themselves,…

I think the most important thing a biology tutor should do is understand the learning pattern and style of the student. Every student learns differently, simply using one method is not enough. As I try to see, I try to understand how different students learn and understand different content. Through the process, i try to find what is the most…

Teaching math or English?! students can get that information from books, the internet, online courses and so many other ways.

Being a friend and caring about every student, realising their talent and the ways they…

There a many key things that I believe a biology tutor can do to create a positive impact on their students. One of them I believe is for the tutor to be willing to share their knowledge in any area that the student is struggling with or wants some guidance in. I believe this is crucial as it is one of the main advantages of having a tutor in that…

The most important thing a biology tutor can offer his student is the gift of knowledge.

I will encourage my students to not just accept the given answers but question them. This skill is the key to extensive thinking which is…

One of the most important things a biology tutor can do for a student is offer an environment where they can comfortably learn and raise any concerns or questions they might have. This comes from building a good relationship with the student, which often not many tutors do, making the student's learning ineffective. Offering an organised and well…

I think the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to listen, and to be a pillar of support they can lean on not only in their academics, but also in their personal lives.

I consider being a mentor as an important quality in terms of teaching. Without being a reliable consultant, I don't believe a biology tutor can bring out the best from students. Being a mentor also means setting an example for them; how to manage own study habits and schedules. I will be there to support students in various way, not only for…

Some of the most important things a biology tutor can do for a student is ensuring that the student knows the content that has been taught.

I will…

I believe my strengths lie within the…

Not only unraveling inquiries on schoolwork, I believe it is important for them to understand the concepts behind a text or maths questions, such as correlated themes of a text.

From the perspective of a past student who's worked with tutors. I've found the best environment to learn is one that feels inviting and open to questions. I hope I can build such an environment where students do not feel worried about asking questions or use me as a resource to aid their learning. Furthermore, I think it's paramount that a tutor…

Local Reviews

WE LOVE EZYMATH! My daughter struggled with maths throughout primary school and when she went to secondary school the maths was overwhelming and she struggled, yet she really wanted to succeed. I did some research and found EZYMATH. It has been and is still a great success. I love the way Ezymath is run- It all just works. We love that the Tutor comes to your home, its great that there is no money exchange between the Tutor and parents, and parents receiving email invoices with a Tutor/student report is efficient, professional, easy and effective. We also enjoy arranging sessions directly with our Tutor and EZYMATH chose Tutors that are most suited to your child AND they usually live near to you. We have had 3 tutors over 51/2 years and the third one we still have now and she is AMAZING! My daughter has had great results in Maths EVERY YEAR and even received an academic award in year 10 for maths - which has gone way beyond what my daughter hoped for and beyond what we had ever hoped for her as parents. The confidence, guidance and assistance from our Ezymath tutors has led to my daughter actually choosing to do Further Maths in Year 12 this year! We never dreamed she would choose maths when she didn't have to do it. She has never failed a single test, assignment or exam. I have referred many friends and family members to EZYMATH and will continue to do so after we are done. I also give great feedback on Facebook when I see people ask if it works - I always share our story in the comments. I would be happy to promote EZYMATH as a testimonial and be an ambassador for your fantastic company. Thank you EZYMATH - we will miss you so much after this year when my daughter finishes school.

Inside Upper Ferntree GullyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on times tables for speed and confidence, tackled adding and subtracting fractions, and explored 24-hour time as part of building foundational numeracy.

In Year 10, Isaac focused on the turning point form of parabolic graphs and basic trigonometry concepts, using sketches to clarify graph shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex revised linear regression lines and transformations in Further Maths, then practiced applying these techniques to past SAC exam questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, despite a strong grasp of maths techniques, struggled to recall which method to use under exam conditions—"she knows how to use the methods but freezes when tested on all at once," noted her tutor.

In Year 8 English, incomplete planning led to rushed essays with weak structure; one student "needs to plan faster and elaborate on literary tools."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner avoided harder maths problems, focusing only on familiar tasks instead of attempting challenging questions during revision. This resulted in missed opportunities for growth and lingering uncertainty before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Upper Ferntree Gully tutor noticed a Year 9 student who, after weeks of second-guessing himself on times tables, now recalls them quickly and even volunteers answers before being prompted.

In a recent high school English session, Isaac has shifted from needing reminders about essay structure to planning his narratives independently and making thoughtful revisions—a big step from last term's reluctance to edit his work.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who used to skip the trickier indices problems now tackles unfamiliar questions head-on and solved several without needing hints 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 Ferntree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Upper Ferntree Gully Primary School.
