Science Tutor Mount Helen, VIC
Having the patience and being a good listener. Having the two is what I believe where you can start building a better relationship with the student. By listening carefully to the student and also being patient with them (since people learns at different speed and different methods). From there, I can understand students in their area of weakness…

Inside BuninyongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Greta worked on negative number operations and expanded algebraic expressions, while also revising how to solve BODMAS problems involving powers.

For Year 10, Lachlan practiced solving linear simultaneous equations using substitution and reviewed trigonometric ratios including SOH CAH TOA, sine rule, and cosine rule with step-by-step problem sets.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Kate tackled differential calculus concepts such as the equation of tangents and normals, applying chain, product, and quotient rules through targeted example questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often skipped double-checking answers in trigonometry and algebra, leading to errors that dented confidence—"as the tutor noted, mistakes crept in when steps weren't reviewed."

In Year 8 maths, one learner relied heavily on visual aids for fractions; as questions grew more complex (e.g., sixths or tenths), diagrams became less reliable, slowing progress.

A primary student hesitated to show written working in subtraction problems, which made it harder to spot where misunderstandings arose.

In VCE Physics, forgetting to convert energy units left gaps in problem-solving and required extra review during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Buninyong tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who previously needed lots of prompting with quadratic equations now confidently forming and solving them mostly on his own, showing real independence.

In Year 12, one student made a breakthrough by quickly picking up exponent laws—even when questions were presented in unusual formats—and only needed a nudge to solve the last challenge problem.

Meanwhile, a younger student who struggled with array-based fraction exercises at first was soon able to group dots correctly and match equivalent fractions visually, finishing her final exercise almost error-free.

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 Sebastopol Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Buninyong Primary School.
