I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is create an environment that allows for them learn how to effectively study. Encouraging students to tackle challenges in their studies themselves through teaching useful study skills is just as important as being a resource for learning the content. I believe accommodating for…

A tutor should provide clear explanations, encourage critical thinking, and build a student’s confidence in their abilities. It's also essential to foster a growth mindset, helping students understand that challenges are opportunities for learning rather than obstacles. Moreover, a tutor should be a mentor, guiding students toward effective…

I think the most important thing to do as a tutor is to amend the teaching style for different students. Motivation was one of the things that I and many of my peers struggled with, and so, the last thing I want is for my student to not be engaged in the content. One way to do this to include connections to the student's interests. In addition,…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build confidence, provide clarity, and encourage curiosity.

Mariana Hahir, Frankston

Inside FrankstonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riley focused on adding and subtracting negative numbers, then practised multiplying them in more complex sums.

Year 9 student Sarah worked through bivariate data analysis, interpreting scatterplots and discussing lines of best fit using real-world examples.

For Year 10, Liam tackled financial maths concepts including calculating interest and depreciation, applying formulas to practical scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, faced with probability problems involving multiple dice, felt "a bit overwhelmed and unsure where to begin," leading to hesitation on multi-step questions.

In Year 8, confusion about which formula applied meant errors distinguishing between perimeter and area during geometry work.

A Year 10 learner, when graphing algebraic equations, sometimes rushed—one tutor observed this resulted in "errors that could have been avoided by slowing down."

For a Year 7 student working on fractions and decimals, trouble remembering procedures led to repeated stumbling over conversions. This pattern left some questions half-finished as time ran out during practice.

Recent Achievements

A Frankston tutoring session saw a Year 11 student move from hesitating over matrix multiplication to working through each step independently, which had been a sticking point in earlier weeks.

Another tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess at statistics questions now confidently explains the difference between dependent and independent variables and accurately identifies strong or weak correlations without prompting.

Meanwhile, one primary student who struggled with times tables has started recalling tricky sums in order during lessons—last week he answered every multiplication question without pausing for help.

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 Carrum Downs Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College (Victoria) - Frankston Park Function Centre.
