Guidance. It's always guidance. Tutors facilitate learning and help activates students' potential. :) Tutors receive all the questions most of the students don't ask in class, and I find it amazing because real learning happens between tutors and students. I already know how to handle them and I can give excellent activities that they can enjoy…

I believe it’s important for tutors to create a supportive environments for students. This will allow them to feel comfortable and open to learning. Learning is almost impossible in an environment where students do no feel safe. I also think it’s important for tutors to give students the opportunity to share their learning to encourage active…

The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

Chloe is lovely and my daughter felt comfortable with her from day one. She has done a lot of preparation in her own time too, providing many examples for Chanelle which I did not expect.

Inside AlfredtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Greta practised negative numbers and **algebraic expansion**, then built French vocabulary for food and constructed simple present-tense sentences.

Year 9 student Noah worked through trigonometry, focusing on **SOH CAH TOA** and applying the sine rule to non-right triangles using diagrams.

For Year 11, Amy tackled a test review covering simplification and **rationalising of surds** as well as elementary set theory, including problems involving simplifying linear expressions with non-numeral coefficients.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths Methods, over-reliance on intuition and skipping key conditions led to errors applying formulas—one note observed "the cosine rule doesn't just require two sides and an angle, but the angle between the two sides that is known."

A Year 10 student struggled with induction proofs due to gaps in understanding negated statements; confusion remained even after repeated explanations.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to write working for division and fractions, preferring visual methods, which became unreliable as problems grew complex.

In English (Year 7), reluctance to communicate uncertainty meant blank answers instead of asking for clarification during tests.

Recent Achievements

One Alfredton tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on multi-step algebraic equations now choosing the correct next step using BODMAS "shells" and calmly working through each test topic.

Another high schooler, previously hesitant to tackle exponent laws in unfamiliar forms, surprised herself by solving equations presented in non-standard ways with minimal prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who would often freeze when asked to read aloud became so engrossed in character voices during a poem that she forgot her self-consciousness and finished reading "Sky in the Pie!" smoothly and expressively.

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 Wendouree Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ballarat High School.
