English Tutor Emerald, VIC
Quick to answer question with confidence to lead the student to success. Apart from my strengths, that I do think are important qualities to have as an english tutor, being reliable in terms of having an answer to a student's question is important. I am good at problem solving so will generally handle such a situation well, but experience…

English Tutor Upwey, VIC
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be a role model. Someone who can sympathise with the difficulties and experiences of a student and can give them effective strategies for personal development to set them ahead. Understanding goes a long way in furthering trust and academic confidence for a student. Asking them…

English Tutor Ferny Creek, VIC
Improving the confidence of the student is key. The student should evolve to have more trust in themselves and their abilities and be able to apply this. The most important thing I could do for the student is to help them achieve their own personal best and be motivated to achieve. I am a good listener. I apply this to pinpointing the key areas…

Local Reviews

Panos has been fantastic with my son. He explains the math concepts well. Although we have only been with Pano for just under a month my son has already shown improvement with his understanding, he even does more math homework because he gets it now. We also used Panos tutoring to assist my eldest just before his yr 12 exams to make sure he was on the right path. Panos not only cleared up some concepts but also gave valuable advise on how to prep for the exam. Thank you Panos for your help!

Inside ClematisTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel worked on multiplying larger numbers and reviewed key concepts like area, perimeter, and fractions (including simplifying), using practice tests to track progress.

Year 11 student Isaac focused on analysing political cartoons for argument analysis essays and explored cinematic techniques in The Princess Bride, breaking down scene meaning.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Chivon improved her persuasive writing by editing drafts together and strengthened spelling through weekly homework tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, one student tended to rush into essay responses without planning, which meant ideas stayed "surface level" and lacked originality—especially when asked to "think outside the box." As a tutor noted, "he jumped straight to examples instead of mapping out his argument first."

In Year 9 Maths, incomplete homework and reluctance to attempt harder problems led to gaps in understanding; this showed during exam drills when familiar question types were prioritised over new formats.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner hesitated with spelling tasks, sometimes avoiding sounding out words due to lack of confidence after setbacks.

Recent Achievements

One Clematis tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through writing tasks now pausing to proofread and compare drafts—she caught her own unclear sentences during an essay session and rewrote them without prompting.

In a senior maths lesson, another student who often hesitated with times tables started answering multiplication questions quickly, even asking for extra problems after finishing the set.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who'd previously guessed words when reading now tries to sound them out first; last week she read an entire paragraph aloud, only asking for help once.

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 Emerald Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dandenong Ranges Steiner School - School Road Campus.
