The most important thing for students at younger ages is to understand key concepts and be able to retain that knowledge for later. For older students, it is simply to be able to perform well on tests. The most important thing I can do as a biology tutor is encourage enthusiasm and engagement in students so they can absorb information. I am really…

In fact, I grew up having a few tutors but found that they all lacked one thing - constant support. I feel a biology tutor should always make themselves available to assist their students outside of class hours. I also feel that tutors should never appear intimidating to their students. I am the lead altar server at my church, and all current…

To teach students that it is okay to be wrong or make mistakes as long as you correct it afterwards. It is important to attempt to answer each question on a test and work sheet as if you attempt it then you might get some points on your final grade. It is also important to become self confident and trust that you can tackle any problem. I will…

I believe that the most important thing about a biology tutor is their ability to motivate and encourage a student in their learning journey. A tutor must be able to show enthusiasm and positivity towards learning, and rather than using rote learning techniques, to engage the student so that they can demonstrate longevity in their education. It is…

The most important thing is ensuring you build confidence in a students understanding of the subject as a whole as it is through this that a student would be able to face any questions that may be posed to them and have confidence within themselves that they are able to understand the topics given throughout their learning. Without this, you would…

I think to provide a larger framework or paradigm for what they are learning. When something fits into a context for "why" they are learning a concept. Mainly being able to listen to the student. I think I'm enthusiastic about getting to know them and what they care about, which helps me teach. Rather than just trying to do a…

Tutors should be able to build independence and confidence in the student, allowing them to improve their problem solving skills and gain new approaches or strategies to learning. My strengths are that I can easily adapt to a student\'s needs, by changing my approach to the topic either by simplifying it further or bringing in other concepts to…

I think the most important thing a biology tutor can do for their student is give them more personal attention and specific, immediate feedback that isn't always available in the classroom. Having someone who can hone in on things that you personally find difficult and mistakes you frequently make helps boost confidence. I think my main strength…

I think not just to teach but to integrate the mathematics into their brain. Ways to do this include repetition, paraphrasing and getting them to say things back to me in their own words, these three things are extremely important so that they don't jut forget things when I leave. I think I'm really good at explaining the maths, carefully and…

A tutor must be willing to work with and adapt for each student. It is critical to not treat tutoring as one-size-fits-all - indeed many students may be getting a biology tutor because standard learning methods aren't working for them. It is also essential that tutors create a safe learning space where students are free to ask questions and give…

As all students would have different levels of understanding, the most important thing a biology tutor can do is to take the time to devise individual learning plans for the students, plans which suit the individual's learning style and would be most effective in seeing them reach their full intellectual capacity. Punctuality and reliability…

Engage and excite. If I can get someone excited about maths or science or even just one question, then they’re going to remember it. Also just a good role model, letting a student know they can message if they have questions or talk to me about things they don’t feel comfortable with. I’ve worked with, and feel comfortable, tutoring kids…

In my opinion, a good tutor is one who aims to get to know the student personally in order to use the best approach towards understanding difficult topics and concepts. It’s also important to provide encouragement and support, as well as understand that students might get frustrated or discouraged if they are unable to easily grasp a concept. I…

The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to understand the student's weakness and strength and assist them to improve on their weaknesses and develop further on their strengths, helping them exceed the standards.

Being able to understand the student. Being able to gage their skill level, understanding of the content and whether they are actually improving or not.

Local Reviews

Extremely responsive and easy setup. Tutor is very knowledgeable and well matched.
Kristy Hughes, Edithvale

Inside EdithvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Luke revised percentage increase and decrease problems, then worked on **solving and graphing linear equations using key points**.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratics, learning to **convert equations into turning point form** and practice graphing parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack tackled probability questions involving Venn diagrams and Karnaugh tables, **interpreting compound events with unions and intersections**.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, he forgot to bring his calculator and textbook, which made it hard to follow new trigonometry material—this slowed his progress during the session.

For a Year 10 student, as one tutor observed, long questions with multiple bits of important and trivial information may throw him off, especially when diagrams aren't drawn or key facts aren't underlined.

In VCE Maths Methods (Year 11), working out was sometimes set out messily or steps were skipped in factorising quadratics, making it harder to find sign errors and slowing down revision.

Missed homework on non-routine probability questions also left some concepts unpracticed before class tests.

Recent Achievements

One Edithvale tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously struggled to finish maths tests on time—she now completes the whole paper within the allocated period and uses her calculator effectively without reminders.

In a recent high school session, another student, after weeks of confusion with index laws, managed to derive them independently and intuitively worked through FOIL method questions.

Meanwhile, a primary school student has started showing real initiative: instead of waiting for prompts, he now asks clarifying questions when worded problems are tricky, which never happened before.

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 Patterson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Edithvale Primary School.
