Showing the student that learning can be very enjoyable and relaxing, particularly when they completely understand the concept a question is asking them to. I like using a variety of different teaching methods, including dynamic graphs, getting students to do the question themselves, proofs, and lots of…

There a many key things that I believe a tutor can do to create a positive impact on their students. One of them I believe is for the tutor to be willing to share their knowledge in any area that the student is struggling with or wants some guidance in. I believe this is crucial as it is one of the main advantages of having a tutor in that they…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen, and to be a pillar of support they can lean on not only in their academics, but also in their personal lives. High school can be a really stressful period for students, not only in the immense pressure that students are under but also with the dramatic shifts their minds…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is GUIDING! NOT teaching to solve a single problem. A good teacher will guide a student to figure out techniques by himself. Because especially in Mathematics, approach to all problems is not the same. It's the teacher's duty to guide the student to figure out the techniques to each…

Giving confidence to the student is the most important thing. If the student is not confident in their ability to do the task, then they will believe that they can not and will not try.

From my experience I noticed that there are students who still hold their voices at school when they have a doubt due to several factors. Once they are comfortable with a tutor, they are more open to questions in their mind and try solving them one on one with the tutor. On this note, I find being a tutor amusing as I always find solving their…

Inside ScoresbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Esther worked on reading aloud from the Fitzroy Reader series, focusing on pronunciation and understanding of new vocabulary like "light" and "melody" using fill-in-the-blank exercises.

In Year 10, Jake tackled operations with matrices, including advanced problems involving communication and dominance matrices to deepen his understanding for SAC preparation.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia focused on VCE Maths Methods exam revision by practising extended response questions in probability, as well as reviewing multistage experiments and conditional probability scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 2 English, a student avoided reading aloud when longer words appeared; "she jumped to the first and last letter of 'mandarin' instead of sounding out each part." This made it hard to build confidence with unfamiliar texts.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's maths progress was slowed by incomplete homework on polynomial functions—assigned tasks weren't brought in for feedback, so misconceptions lingered.

In VCE Maths Methods, another student repeatedly left school assignment problems unfinished, meaning key skills (like exam-style extended responses) remained shaky before tests.

Each instance led to lost chances for targeted support or skill consolidation at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Scoresby recently noticed a big change in Joanne (Year 7): after struggling to keep track of her maths notes, she's now organising them independently and finishing most homework tasks correctly.

In Year 11 maths, Ashley went from hesitating to ask for help with functions to clarifying every doubt out loud during sessions, then tackling even the tougher problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to skip over hard words is now stopping mid-sentence to self-correct pronunciation—she read an entire book this week and handled tricky two-syllable nouns on her own.

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