An important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure they are focusing on areas of study that the student struggles with that they might miss out on in school to ensure they are doing the best that they can. My strengths as a tutor are that I am very interactive and enjoy allowing students to participate as I find this makes learning…

I believe persistence and encouragement are important in supporting a student, especially if they don't receive this at their own school. A main reason students don't do well or aren't productive is because they aren't motivated. It is important to try and help them be self-motivated by their own passions and desires in life. I would not give up…

I feel that understanding the student's weak areas and trying to make him/her feel less intimidated with the problems is the main role of a tutor. Also, another important task of a tutor is to simplify tasks for his/her students. One on one teaching is my speciality. I can simplify problems to students who find it difficult to do the math. Also, I…

Simply to understand the student as an individual. Everyone has different learning styles, what works for some won't work for others. Something I can do as a tutor that perhaps a school teacher might not, is to provide guidance and support in a way the student best understands, prefers and at a pace in which they are not overwhelmed by. When a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help build/maintain self confidence as well as to incite a love of learning by awakening curiosity. Throughout the course of life, it is rather difficult to maintain self confidence due to the never ending competition we face. Having been on this journey myself, I believe that…

I think building confidence and a long-lasting appreciation of learning in a particular subject are the best things a tutor can give to a student. Understanding of content is useful for improving grades in the short-term, but acquiring sustainable skills that will persist beyond the teaching period is an advantage that will be useful for life.

Gaining confidence in the student. Most times any student seeks out a tutor in the first place is fuelled by a lack of confidence. The most important thing we can probably do is to change their own perspective on their own capabilities within the subject. To do so, it would be to teach them effective learning and thinking strategies. I have…

Haven't looked back, ezy maths has really propelled my child as far as her grades at school. Our maths Tutor has been fantastic. My child felt comfortable with him from the beginning and has been broadening and strengthening her knowledge ever since. With regular feedback from Tutor you feel you are always in the loop in relation to child's development.
Mary, Altona

Inside AltonaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Madison focused on similar triangles and practiced trigonometry and Pythagoras' Theorem with exam-style questions, while also exploring compound interest as part of a class validation task.

In Year 10, Liam worked on consolidating his skills in applying Pythagoras to worded problems and using trigonometric ratios to find unknown side lengths in triangles.

Meanwhile, another Year 10 student, Ella, covered bearings in trigonometry and revisited measurement concepts including volume and surface area calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, when solving worded trigonometry problems, tended to avoid writing out steps and key words, making it harder to spot where misunderstandings occurred. This meant errors often went unnoticed until review time.

In Year 8 algebra, over-reliance on the calculator for identifying gradients in linear functions led to confusion about core concepts; as one tutor put it, "he could find the answer but struggled to explain how he got there."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student often forgot to bring completed homework, leaving gaps in practice that slowed progress with times tables and division tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Altona noticed that a Year 9 student, after initially hesitating to ask for help, began actively seeking clarification on trigonometric ratios and then independently solved for unknown side lengths using SIN, COS, and TAN.

Another high school student who used to skip steps with linear graphs is now confidently plotting points and explaining the meaning of rise over run without prompting—she even developed her own summary sheet for an upcoming SAC.

In primary, one student who would guess times tables has started working them out aloud step by step, moving from 10Ă—3 backwards and discovering new patterns 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 Altona Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mary's School.
