Engineering Studies Tutor Belmont, VIC
I have good grades, knowledge, a Master's degree and experience in the field. I believe it is important to find a tutor who is patient, who truly enjoys teaching, enjoys the company of his or her students and has the ability to build a rapport with them so that they can learn. This, I promise you, I can do. I like to explain the concept just the…

Engineering Studies Tutor South Geelong, VIC
The primary role, I believe, for a teacher is to guide students to the right direction. With all the progress in information technology, educational content is readily available for literally anyone willing to learn something. The key role, for a modern-day teacher, I feel is to help students understand what they might be looking for and how they…

Engineering Studies Tutor Highton, VIC
Being Non-judgmental with a desire to help; does not make assumptions about students; treats all students as individuals who want to learn and have the ability to learn no matter what their personal background or circumstances are. Encourages independence: You do not want the student to rely on you at all times. Let them know that they must put…

Engineering Studies Tutor Waurn Ponds, VIC
Instead of simply teaching the concepts, a tutor should try to teach the student the logic behind the concept; he/she should try to simplify difficult concepts in a way students can grasp. Moreover, I think it's important that a tutor lets the student work on the problems first, let them brainstorm and develop their thinking skills instead of…

Engineering Studies Tutor Armstrong Creek, VIC
The best thing a tutor can do is to remove the fear within the students of asking even the simplest questions. Also to make them feel connected with the tutor and make the study enjoyable and comfortable. I make a good rapport with the student very quickly. My method explanations are easy to understand. I focus more on basic concepts. I never get…

Winston

Engineering Studies Tutor Highton, VIC
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to be available for a student at times of need, to clear their doubts, especially during exams, as that is generally the time when students have the most number of doubts. Students who don't have any uncleared doubts before an exam are generally more confident, and tend to perform better in exams.…

Build a solid foundation, improve confidence, and create a clear routine that makes progress predictable. That means: fixing gaps, drilling the right practice questions, teaching a clean method, and helping them study smarter, not longer. I also focus on test skills, time management, and how to check answers quickly. The goal is independence, so…

Inside BreakwaterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Georgia worked on applying Pythagoras' theorem to right-angled triangles and explored basic trigonometry concepts like SOH CAH TOA.

In Year 10, Ethan focused on revising index laws and surds, then moved on to solving quadratic expressions using textbook questions.

For Year 12, Olivia practiced differentiating functions with the chain and quotient rules, followed by tackling anti-differentiation problems to find areas under curves between two points.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 11 student in Methods, the habit of skipping steps—especially when integrating trigonometric functions—meant "sometimes skips a step or goes too quickly," causing small errors that slowed progress on more complex problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student repeatedly forgot to bring essential materials like her calculator and maths books home, making it difficult to track classwork and fully participate in targeted revision.

In English for Year 8, slow note-taking limited the ground covered during lessons; as one tutor noted, "this can hinder the amount of content covered in class."

Each scenario left less time for mastering new concepts or building confidence.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Breakwater recently noticed some great shifts in how students tackle their work. One Year 11 student, after previously needing step-by-step support with differentiation, started identifying key elements independently on past exam questions and used her calculator to solve new problems—a big change from relying on hints.

In Year 9, a student who used to avoid tough algebra now openly asks for harder questions and compiles her own summary notes before tests, showing new initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who was hesitant about frequency tables picked up the method quickly after some practice and completed all tasks without prompting.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Geelong East Primary School.
