Science Tutor Wandin North, VIC
Helping people understand why learning is important to them. Kids can find it hard to see why what they're learning is important. I think a fundamental key is showing how the process of learning itself is the important aspect, rather than specifically the content. While the content is important to grasp, the process of regular work towards a goal,…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show them what they are capable of. Everyone is capable of achieving greatness and being able to help someone realise their potential is the best thing a tutor can do. I have the ability to connect with students and explain difficult concepts in a fun and memorable way. Additionally,…

By making learning fun and relatible students can see the benefits of learning the content. This allows students to see the practical part of their learning and will be more engaged to learn something they can use now or later in life. I am a very patience person which is important when teaching because students need time to try and understand the…

A tutor must be patient with their student. It is vital to understand that the student may not understand the concept in only one class, but they can continue to learn it slowly over multiple classes to slowly build confidence. Because of this, the tutor must have patience in the student's abilities and recognise that they mustn't make the student…

Understanding what they understand and don't. If you don't adapt accordingly, not only will it take longer, but even if you can help them understand, you won't foster a sense of confidence in the student for further studies. Adaptability and a deeper understanding of the subject matter I'm teaching, which lets me approach problems from different…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel good about themselves. I feel it is essential that they do this through teaching so that the student feels happy when they start to understand and do stuff they were orginally having trouble over. I am a bright and bubbly person. I will never judge people for…

I believe having patience and commitment to the student’s education are important qualities for a tutor.

My strengths include being able to communicate the problems…

Make them interested in what they are learning and make them understand why things work the way they do.

I am passionate about the subjects I have highlighted above and am confident in explaining them in an…

To be patient, understanding and always willing to go back to the basics and refresh their memory and to get the work to fit together.

Like I briefly mentioned earlier, I think it is important to look at being a mentor rather than a teacher. It is a far more personal and direct experience working with one or maybe a few students at a time rather than an entire classroom, so it is vital to establish actual relationships with your students and ensure that they can apply the work…

A tutor can help a student get more fluent, confident and clear about concepts and working. When they have someone who makes learning effective, fun and interactive it makes learning fun and worthwhile.

For any student, progress will naturally vary and giving them that support and encouragement to persevere and overcome hurdles in their learning is,…

Highly recommend - great tutor and great communication and super fast response. My daughters confidence has improved immensely and she actually looks forward to her weekly sessions with her tutor.
Sarah, Mount Evelyn

Inside Wandin NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Erin worked on adding and subtracting fractions as well as converting fractions to decimals, using visual models for support.

In Year 10, Codi focused on revising circular functions ahead of an exam and also practiced applying trigonometric ratios to solve problems.

For Year 12, Mia analysed persuasive techniques in famous political speeches and strengthened her compare-and-contrast writing skills by debating current topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tended to rely on mental calculation for large addition and subtraction tasks, skipping written working which led to hidden errors—"she tends to add and subtract big numbers in her head rather than writing down her working out."

In Year 10 Maths, another student's organization slipped: forgetting revision sheets before sessions meant less targeted support with algebra.

For VCE English, a Year 11 student's uncertainty about communicating complex ideas resulted in wordy sentences that "lost meaning and impact," as noted by the tutor.

These process habits slowed progress during lessons and made feedback harder to action between sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Wandin North noticed a big shift for Maya (Year 6), who used to rely heavily on her notes for division. She finished her speed round in just two minutes—her best yet—and even explained how to find factors without prompting.

In Year 10, Ayelet is now working through index laws and simplifying surds almost entirely without her calculator, which is a huge step from earlier sessions where she hesitated with mental calculations.

Lizzie (Year 12) has moved beyond simply accepting feedback; during SAC prep, she edited and improved her work using new techniques and could justify every change she made.

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 Mt Evelyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wandin North Primary School.
