Psychology Tutor Oakleigh, VIC
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is provide constant reassurance in their abilities. I feel like a lot of the time when students feel overwhelmed with school work they lose confidence in their ability to answer questions to write an essay. Having a tutor, someone who can guide them, motivate them and assess and improve weak areas…

Psychology Tutor
A tutor needs to provide support and consideration of a student's abilities, and empower the student to achieve beyond what they think they can achieve. In particular, for younger students, I believe that tutors can and will help to lay the foundational stones that will provide the driving force to empower students to their best. Even if a…

Inside Forest HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Aiden worked on multi-digit multiplication, including the 2, 3, 5, and 10 times tables with carrying.

In Year 9, Emily tackled trigonometry by practicing calculations with sine, cosine, and tangent ratios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex focused on differentiation techniques—using both visual depictions of gradients and applying algebraic rules to various problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student often completed mental calculations for multiplication (especially 3x tables), but avoided writing out working, which "made it hard to catch small errors."

In Year 9, a student's written solutions for algebraic expressions lacked logical order—lines were skipped or mixed fractions and variables in one step, leading to confusion during review.

At the senior level, one Year 12 student relied heavily on their CAS calculator for technology-active questions and "lost marks by not double-checking manual steps."

After setbacks with complex exam-style problems, another student hesitated to revisit feedback, slowing progress on high-achieving extended-response tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Forest Hill tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to tackle integration questions now works confidently under timed conditions, solving complex problems and interpreting exam prompts accurately.

In Year 7, a student who used to struggle with algebraic expressions quickly picked up the concept of expanding brackets and even managed to factorise more challenging expressions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student, who once guessed at multiplication steps, now independently carries numbers correctly in two-digit multiplication tasks and checks their own work before moving on.

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 Blackburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blackburn Lake Primary School.
