Software Dev Tutor Derrimut, VIC
To understand which areas they need most help with and then work closely with them to help them perform better. It is also very important to make the student feel confident, enable them to ask as many questions as possible without any hesitation, explain concepts clearly and relate them to the real practical problems and then build their knowledge…

As per my perspective, every student is different and tutoring is all about giving personalised guidance. Giving clear and concise explanation of difficult subjects and breaking down them to manageable parts and encouraging them to apply knowledge to solve problems. In nutshell, helping students in any way possible in a positive manner to gain…

Software Dev Tutor St Albans, VIC
I have been inspired by educators who encourage their students' learning and find different ways to teach the same concepts. For students who struggle, helping them understand basic/intermediate concepts is a big step. Getting quality responses and correct answers by themselves builds confidence in student learning, and creates positive feedback…

Explaining the concepts clearly and easily along with appropriate examples are the must for a tutor. But, more importantly, a tutor should help students cultivate good habits like hard work, discipline, confidence, time management etc. By doing so, a student not only grows academically but also personally. And this can help them in the future. I…

Having the correct materials and being able to supply such materials whenever the students may need it. Also the ability to be flexible, for example if one of my students has a test coming up, I would do everything I can to help them do well. I'm very open-minded and I learn quickly. For example if I make a mistake I am more than happy to be…

Listen to the students and understand what the actual issue is. More often than not it's not the concept itself but how the student is processing the concept, and if you don't see that you'll only be able to help them understand through repetition. My ability to tailor lessons to a students needs and study styles. I enjoy working with both…

I believe one of the most important things in a tutor is a friendly mannerism, as this will make the student feel comfortable and likely more attentive during sessions. Of course a wide range of knowledge in the subject area is also very important to be able to tutor the students. I believe my skills to problem solve would make me a good tutor as…

I believe the three pillars of tutoring are understanding, confidence and independence. A tutor needs to be able to create a comfortable environment where students feel open to ask questions. Breaking down concepts clearly in a tailored way based on the way each student learns ensures they really understand the concepts, and are not just…

A tutor has to enable the student. Teaching them specific knowledge only goes so far. A tutor needs to give a student confidence that they can overcome their academic obstacles. Teach a student how to obtain resources in order to learn in their own time too. A tutor should be someone that the student can lean back on, if they have trouble finding…

Inside DerrimutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emma revised quadratic equations and functions, focusing on graph interpretation and problem-solving; Year 10 student Lucas tackled trigonometry by graphing sine and cosine functions, along with a review of transformations to strengthen his foundation; meanwhile, Year 3 student Zoe practiced multiplication facts and solved word problems involving money using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, one student was "a bit lax with her homework," leading to missed practice on application questions and slower progress in trigonometry graphing.

In a senior English session, skipping questions when unsure meant some tasks were left incomplete and unattempted until prompted.

A Year 5 learner's written work was described as "hard to follow," with untidy layout making it difficult to check for errors—especially in multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, a primary student repeatedly avoided challenging multiplication questions, returning only to familiar material and requiring frequent reminders to persist when tasks became unfamiliar or effortful.

Recent Achievements

One Derrimut tutor noted a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess at problems but now regularly asks for help when stuck, especially during complex homework—she completed nearly all tasks this week and initiated questions on her own.

A high schooler in Year 9 has started challenging herself by choosing harder questions for practice, getting them right on recent assignments after previously sticking only to basics.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to recite times tables can now confidently recall them aloud without prompting and tackled double-digit multiplication with less support than 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 Brimbank Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Derrimut Primary School.
