Psychology Tutor Coburg, VIC
Everybody learns differently, and trying to apply the same approach to everyone is going to leave students struggling and frustrated. I adapt my teaching style to the way a student learns, and don't enforce a certain way of thinking - instead, I equip them with the tools to approach any problem in a way that works for them. I have two years'…

Also using the wisdom I have gained throughout the years to guide them in problem solving in things that are outside…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is support them academically, as well as personally. I believe that it is vital to approach each student holistically, catering for each individual in accordance with their personal needs. Secondly, I believe it is important that students are supported according to their own goals,…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make sure they don't generalize their teaching across all students. Every student has their own strengths/ weaknesses and their own ways of learning and it is important for a tutor to recognize and build upon that so they reach their potential. I am incredibly patient and my passion for what I teach is…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them. To ask and listen to what the student needs in order to understand difficult concepts goes a long way in ensuring students receive the most out of their sessions.

Be a mentor as well, mathematical skills might not be the only thing a child needs.

Local Reviews

Brody is very happy with Dorcas.

Inside FairfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel revised index laws and logarithmic functions, focusing on simplifying expressions and using worked examples.

In Year 10, Emily practised sketching curves of quartic and cubic functions as well as reviewing plans for next year's topics.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack explored integration by recognition and definite integrals, applying these skills to area under curves with step-by-step guidance.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with interpreting worded questions in maths, often feeling stuck before the process "clicked." As a tutor noted, "she needs a lot of work on interpreting worded questions," leading to hesitation and incomplete answers.

In VCE Maths Methods (Year 11), another student was visibly unconfident despite correct working, pausing with "I don't know" even when on track—this self-doubt slowed progress and led to unnecessary rechecking.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 arithmetic, one child showed reluctance to attempt multiplication problems independently, sometimes saying they "can't be bothered," which meant fewer chances to reinforce number sense during practice.

Recent Achievements

A Fairfield tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after initially finding bearings problems confusing, now approaches them independently and solves worded simultaneous equations without needing guidance.

In Year 10, another student who used to hesitate with worded questions is now able to break down linear rule problems clearly and even constructs formulas on her own during lessons.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has become much more comfortable with long division; after working through examples together, she now completes similar problems confidently by herself.

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