Having also faced challenges in my academic journey, my biggest strength is my ability to empathise with students and their potential struggles.…

Punctuality and reliability are also…

A tutor needs to care about their student. Without a sense of trust between teacher and student, there exists no confidence in either party. The student's faith in the system declines, as does the teacher's faith in the student. Thus, what I deem THE most important factor in tutoring is to show compassion and understanding to a student; to show…

Local Reviews

Extremely responsive and easy setup. Tutor is very knowledgeable and well matched.
Kristy Hughes, Edithvale

Inside EdithvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Luke revised percentage increase and decrease problems, then worked on **solving and graphing linear equations using key points**.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratics, learning to **convert equations into turning point form** and practice graphing parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack tackled probability questions involving Venn diagrams and Karnaugh tables, **interpreting compound events with unions and intersections**.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, he forgot to bring his calculator and textbook, which made it hard to follow new trigonometry material—this slowed his progress during the session.

For a Year 10 student, as one tutor observed, long questions with multiple bits of important and trivial information may throw him off, especially when diagrams aren't drawn or key facts aren't underlined.

In VCE Maths Methods (Year 11), working out was sometimes set out messily or steps were skipped in factorising quadratics, making it harder to find sign errors and slowing down revision.

Missed homework on non-routine probability questions also left some concepts unpracticed before class tests.

Recent Achievements

One Edithvale tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously struggled to finish maths tests on time—she now completes the whole paper within the allocated period and uses her calculator effectively without reminders.

In a recent high school session, another student, after weeks of confusion with index laws, managed to derive them independently and intuitively worked through FOIL method questions.

Meanwhile, a primary school student has started showing real initiative: instead of waiting for prompts, he now asks clarifying questions when worded problems are tricky, which never happened 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 Patterson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Edithvale Primary School.
