Science Tutor Glen Waverley, VIC
To me, one of the most important responsibilities as a tutor is ensuring that the student develops a strong foundation of knowledge through proper communication of the learning material. I also believe that a tutor should encourage their students to see learning material as more than content they can forget after a test but rather as valuable…

Inspire them about how to think about the question and maybe, the world in a logical and rational way. As one of my lecturer once told me, "what I can teach you is not the knowledge itself, but the problem solving skills you learnt from this course". I am energetic in teaching maths and, particularly, in the interesting parts about Maths. E.g. we…

First of all, teach and guide them. I understand that children know their academics, they just need a guide to show them the right way of approaching these questions. I love math so I love teaching math and I hope I can impart my love for mathematics in my students too. I have been tutoring for a long time so I can say I do have quite a bit of…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is make sure the student clearly understands the topic, not just memorises it. It's about helping them build real confidence so that when they answer questions, whether in class or in exams, they're not second-guessing themselves. That means breaking things down in a way that actually makes sense…

To a greater extent success depends on the students` commitment to their studies, not as much what we as tutors do.

As a busy family, having the convenience of a tutor come into the house has made it so much easier for us to commit to weekly tutoring. Our tutor is on time and has been helpful for my daughter understanding maths concepts that were challenging her.

Inside Box HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jamie revised linear functions by identifying x and y axes, finding intercepts, and calculating gradients before plotting coordinates on graphs.

In Year 8, Priya focused on angles in parallel lines, using diagrams to solve for unknown values and reviewing types of angles from term content.

For a Year 9 session, Daniel tackled statistics by constructing frequency tables and bar graphs, then calculated mean, median, mode, and explored box-and-whisker plots to interpret data visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student in algebra avoided showing full working when finding gradients from two points—she skipped steps in equations, which made it hard to spot calculation errors.

In a senior statistics session, incomplete homework on box-and-whisker plots left key gaps; the student hesitated during IQR questions.

A Year 6 student's written work was messy and lacked clear layout in long division, leading to repeated confusion with remainders.

Meanwhile, one primary learner struggled to focus during word problem tasks and guessed answers rather than writing solutions—a rushed approach that led to unfinished revision sheets by lesson's end.

Recent Achievements

One Box Hill tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with graph sketching now confidently draws accurate line graphs from just the equation, no prompting needed.

In a recent high school session, another student who previously second-guessed herself with linear equations was able to recall lesson objectives and solve for unknowns without pausing or asking for help.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with simplifying fractions finally managed to use long division independently by the end of their lesson—after starting out unsure, he worked through several problems on his own and got them right.

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 Blackburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Sion College.
