Psychology Tutor Collingwood, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do is NOT to give the students answers. This is a red line for me as it limits the student's ability to use their mind to explore and thus tackle hard questions. My strengths are that I am open minded and persistent; I am never one to criticise a student for not understanding how to do something no matter how…

The most important thing is to learn what the student needs. It is easy to go off track and teach all the information you know, but I believe the students' request come first. Even though the students might not know what they need, the tutor should work with them and identify which areas the student need improvements on. Hence, the tutor could…

Inside East MelbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex practised **perimeter and area calculations for rectangles using visual diagrams**, and began exploring volume concepts.

In Year 8, Sophie focused on **solving equations and inequalities**, including a review of quadratic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student James worked through physics motion questions involving **velocity, displacement, and time calculations**, alongside targeted chemistry exam question reviews to strengthen his understanding of key concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for Units 1 and 2 exam questions struggled with calculations, especially when pressured for time—she missed marks on multi-step problems because units weren't clearly written, noted one tutor.

In Year 8 algebra, skipping the step of flipping inequality signs when multiplying by negatives led to repeated errors that practice alone didn't fix.

A Year 4 student's working was often hard to follow due to inconsistent layout; this made checking answers difficult, especially with area versus perimeter tasks.

For a senior Physics student, not responding fully to feedback meant velocity calculations stayed shaky into the next lesson.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in East Melbourne noticed a big change for one Year 9 student who used to get stuck on fraction problems—she now works through addition, subtraction, and even multiplying fractions with much less hesitation and remembers the steps from week to week.

In a senior session, another student showed initiative by completing several practice exams independently and reported feeling more prepared than before for upcoming assessments.

Meanwhile, a younger student who was previously reluctant to speak up has started asking questions whenever she's unsure about how area and volume differ, instead of quietly guessing.

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 East Melbourne Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richmond West Primary School.
