Tutor Eltham, VIC
Really listening to the students' struggles and concerns with an open mindset and responding in an informative yet not condescending manner enables the students to learn and develop their knowledge. I would do this by listening and learning how the student learns and taking the necessary steps to help the student feel comfortable and understanding…

Its good to be able to use a formula or understand how mathematical theories work but if you do not understand the fundamental blocks of which that concept is built on you will not be getting very far. Thats why I believe in not only understanding what a formula does but why it works. My ability to find where the problem is in a student and…

Mental health and confidence is worth just as much as the knowledge of the content. The most important thing a tutor can do is to give confidence to the student and alleviate stress for upcoming assessments. Confidence can be achieved by getting students to solve practice problems on their own after they grasp a concept. Ironing out all the weaker…

I think that it's important to be able to put themselves in their shoes. While the tutor completely understands what it going on, it's important to see why the student may not be understanding something, and to be able to see that makes it easier to teach and makes the student more willing to keep trying and more eager to learn. I also think…

I believe a tutor/teacher should always strive to develop an interest about subject matter in the student. Once the student does not think of the subject as burden, he will be able to learn very efficiently. Teaching at various levels has taught me to understand students from different academic backgrounds better. Every student has a different…

Guide them and help them build their confidence as they learn. To a degree, that allows them to then learn on their own and become independent. The best part of being a tutor is when you realize your student no longer needs you. It's easy for me to position myself in someone else's shoes. I'm usually very good at identifying what my students don't…

It is important to be patient and a good listener. Students learn at their own pace and you cannot push them. Even if something seems simple to you, for the student it might not be. Being a good listener means not dominating the conversation. Allow the students to ask questions and give the students plenty of time to answer your questions.…

I think it is extremely important for a tutor to be adaptable. Different students have differing learning styles and needs, and therefore, to help different students, you need to be able to tailor your tutoring to individualised approaches. Furthermore, rather than just giving the children the answers, as a tutor it is important to be able to help…

Inside ElthamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ethan focused on mastering long multiplication and division, along with strategies for working with fractions.

Year 10 Callum spent sessions revising factorising non-monic quadratics and applying algebra skills to simultaneous equations, often using worked examples from past tests.

For Year 11 student Ruby, recent lessons targeted exponentials and their graphs as well as challenging exam-style questions involving exponents and logarithms to strengthen her Methods understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often relied on mental calculations and skipped writing out steps—"he tries to do too much work in his head," a tutor noted—leading to muddled errors that slowed progress.

In senior years, a lack of consistent revision was clear: missed homework and incomplete summary notes meant key methods for trigonometry and probability weren't embedded, especially when tests approached quickly.

A drop in motivation after falling behind left another student unsure where to restart; the result was gaps in understanding that made even familiar material feel unfamiliar under exam pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Eltham tutor noticed a big shift with Eric (Year 10), who used to leave maths homework unfinished but now tackles it early, using his parents and a friend as resources—he even made only minor mistakes this week.

In Year 11 chemistry, Callum has started engaging much more actively; he now jumps into tutor-led questions about wave interference instead of waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, Anna (Year 6) has begun fixing her own mistakes right after spotting them—last session she quickly self-corrected errors on literal equations without any prompting and finished the set independently.

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 Eltham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady Help of Christians School.
