Biology Tutor Kalkallo, VIC
The most important think a biology tutor can do for their student is make sure they know the content that they’re teaching and ask the student whether they understand the concept being taught or not. Speaking from personal experiences I’d have loved and really appreciated if my tutor knew the content they were teaching and had asked me whether…

Biology Tutor Doreen, VIC
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is support them academically, as well as personally. I believe that it is vital to approach each student holistically, catering for each individual in accordance with their personal needs. Secondly, I believe it is important that students are supported according to their own goals,…

Inside WoodstockTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Sam worked on calculating area and volume for composite shapes, along with practising fraction operations using visual models.
Year 9 student Mia tackled quadratic factorisation—including difference of perfect squares—and moved on to graphing parabolas by identifying turning points and axes of symmetry.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex reviewed key concepts in Newton's laws of motion and completed practice problems involving two-dimensional dynamics as preparation for upcoming assessments.
Recent Challenges
Homework was often left incomplete, especially for algebra and fractions, which limited chances to reinforce new skills—"needs to do more homework to practice and re-enforce learned skills."
In Year 10, messy working in trigonometry meant sign errors were hard to spot; as noted, "writing out each step rather than solving in his head" would have made mistakes easier to find.
For a senior student tackling mechanics, late replies and rushing last-minute homework before deadlines resulted in missed opportunities for deeper understanding and test preparation.
One session ended with the frustration of forgotten basic math principles clouding progress on problem-solving tasks.
Recent Achievements
One Woodstock tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student's approach to factorisation—she started the lesson needing step-by-step support, but by the end, she was breaking down complex questions into smaller parts and working through them independently.
In another session, a high schooler who used to avoid practice tests actually completed one on her own before tutoring began and then engaged much more during revision.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who had previously hesitated with multiplication facts showed new initiative by tackling trickier times tables without prompting and even asked for extra challenge problems.

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