Rory

English Tutor Edithvale, VIC
I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do is make the subject material engaging, fun and captivating. In my opinion, a student can only learn and develop if they choose to do so, regardless of the ability or experience of the tutor or student. Thus, by making the subject in question seem alive through enthusiasm and engagement,…

In fact, I grew up having a few tutors but found that they all lacked one thing - constant support. I feel an english 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 an english tutor is their ability to motivate and encourage a student in their learning journey.

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…

My main priority as an english tutor has always been to develop a love, or at least form of passion, from the student regarding whatever I teach. From first hand experience I know that it is almost impossible to truly devote effort and time into a subject you can't stand. Thus, I believe a tutor must help provide a path for more effective learning…

A tutor needs to care about their student. Without a sense of trust between teacher and student, there exists no confidence in either party. The student's faith in the system declines, as does the teacher's faith in the student. Thus, what I deem THE most important factor in tutoring is to show compassion and understanding to a student; to show…

A tutor should be patient, allowing students to build confidence in answering things alone and creating a basis for independent learning.

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.
