Engineering Studies Tutor Highton, VIC
The tutor should be able to provide assurance (at stressful times) and unconditional academic support for the students. My ability to patiently listen to student queries and draw simple solutions. Also, I can clearly articulate my thought process for a positive student…

Engineering Studies Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
Being understanding and knowing that every student is different and is at different stages of learning, so to respect that is of the utmost importance. I have got mentoring experience, and in that experience I am able to put my self in the person being tutored's shoes, and understand their situation and how they learn. Being a student myself I can…

Engineering Studies Tutor Waurn Ponds, VIC
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…

Engineering Studies Tutor Hamlyn Heights, VIC
A tutor needs to analyse and understand the way a specific student learns, and cater for that. While a tutors ability to explain a problem is important, I believe the ability to explain a problem in a variety of different ways, while also showing a student that needing help with school is completely normal, is of upmost importance. I understand…

Engineering Studies Tutor Hamlyn Heights, VIC
I think that as a tutor of a child or young adult one of the most important tasks is to analyse how the student feels about the subject and adapt to their individual needs. This can look like making classes more engaging for less enthusiastic students or advancing topics for more engaged students. I've always been quite passionate about the…

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.
