First thing is trust, the tutor should be responsible, good listener, and patient; as a result, the student will trust on him and feel more comfortable to learn. Second, the tutor should understand and analyze the student difficulties to create an individual approach for his learning. Therefore, teaching will be an easy way for the tutor and the…

Chemistry Tutor Waurn Ponds, VIC
The single most important aspect for a chemistry tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off.…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

As for me, I believe that one of the most crucial things that a chemistry tutor should bring to a student is the passion for learning. We have to encourage and help them to find out the interesting of the subject they are studying I'm a good listener, a diligent person. I'm eager to try new methods to help students with their problems, and my…

I believe, more than anything else, that a chemistry tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and…

Instead of simply teaching the concepts, a chemistry tutor should try to teach the student the logic behind the concept; he/she should try to simplify difficult concepts in a way students can grasp. Moreover, I think it's important that a tutor lets the student work on the problems first, let them brainstorm and develop their thinking skills…

listening to students and finding out what they want out of the sessions and how they prefer to learn. By doing so we can offer a method of learning that's customized to them as an individual and not as a class. Learning occurs in many formats and a chemistry tutor should provide a format that isn't inherently applied in schools - aiding in the…

Build a solid foundation, improve confidence, and create a clear routine that makes progress predictable. That means: fixing gaps, drilling the right practice questions, teaching a clean method, and helping them study smarter, not longer. I also focus on test skills, time management, and how to check answers quickly. The goal is independence, so…

I believe understanding a student on a deeper level and giving what he/ she needs. That could be motivation to move ahead , assurance of being there with them , confidence to explore interests and lastly a friend so that they can openly tell if they are not understanding something.

Tutors should be patient when tutoring and be prepared to repeat themselves or explain something in different ways. Tutors should design lessons that are of interest to the student but are also at the appropriate level for the student's ability. Tutors should be encouraging when students do something well and supportive when students make…

Local Reviews

So far so good! All the qualities l was looking for in a tutor l found in Yixuan. My daughter needed the gentle approach because her confidence was flagging in mathematics and Yixuan definitely understood that. Yixuan tried different methods to see what worked best and an easy relationship between tutor and student was established. Yixuan made sure that the math at hand was being understood. Immediately my daughter felt comfortable and was asking questions. I didn't expect such a quick turn around in grades but even better was that her attitude to school in general had perked up. I suppose l didn't realise how much one area in academia could affect other areas of her life experience. Yixuan is an excellent tutor. Even if my daughter may not continue in the math/science field Yixuan has given her what she needs to tread confidently for a while.

Inside Freshwater CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Krisztian worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as converting between simple and complex fractions using homework-based examples.

Year 8 student Mia focused on ratio and rates by dividing given ratios and comparing gradients, along with revision of index laws.

For Year 11 student Ava, lessons included factoring quadratics and finding x-intercepts, plus applying quadratic equations to real-world worded scenarios for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 mathematics, one student often avoided writing down working for fraction or addition questions—leading to lost steps and confusion. "He blurts out a guess when frustrated instead of taking time to process," noted a tutor, which eroded confidence during lessons.

By Year 11, organization issues surfaced: in algebra and trigonometry, skipping written steps and messy handwriting ("9 looks like y") made it hard to check answers or find errors.

During VCE Biology revision, another student's extended responses suffered because ideas weren't clearly structured on paper; she needed more practice turning her knowledge into well-organized answers under exam conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Freshwater Creek tutor noticed a real shift in Krisztian's approach to maths: after initially second-guessing himself on worded problems, he now works through them independently with just some encouragement and even surprised himself by finishing a recent test much faster than expected.

In Year 10, Poppy moved from struggling with complex ratio problems to actively seeking out tougher index law questions and attempting them without hesitation—a big change from her earlier reluctance.

Tatie, preparing for VCE Biology, tackled multiple-choice problem-solving questions and managed to answer short-answer sections more accurately than she had before, completing them ahead of time.

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 Torquay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Freshwater Creek Steiner School.
