Nicholas

Modern History Tutor Geelong, VIC
In my opinion, a tutor should be able to to discern what motivates a particular student, easily identify a student's weaknesses and quickly build confidence in these areas through targeted practice. A good tutor establishes specific goals and ensures any tools or methods necessary for improvement are clear and available for the student to use at…

Modern History Tutor South Geelong, VIC
The most important things a tutor can do for their students is make themselves available to them when they are needed and to make them feel supported. Showing patience with them and confidence in them gives them an added boost to their own confidence knowing that someone believes in them. I believe my strengths as a tutor are my patience and…

Modern History Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
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.

Inside GeelongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz revised subtraction and decimals, practised some chance questions, and was introduced to Roman numerals using simple exercises.

In Year 8, Chloe worked through test corrections on fractions—focusing on simplifying and converting between mixed and improper forms—and wrote a descriptive essay analysing film characters for English.

For Year 10, Olivia explored quadratic equations in mathematics and discussed mean, median, mode, and range when interpreting line graphs in statistics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, one student struggled with remembering formulas and "needed to pause mid-problem to look them up," which slowed down progress in multi-step algebra questions.

A Year 11 student relied heavily on the calculator during trigonometry, skipping manual checks and missing opportunities to catch entry errors—"he just pressed buttons without thinking through each step."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner's division work showed confusion over order of operations; forgetting multiplication tables made factor questions drag on.

In English (Year 7), another avoided revising spelling errors after feedback, so repeated mistakes crept into her next essay draft.

Recent Achievements

One Geelong tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated to attempt challenging differentiation problems now independently solve several chain rule questions without prompting.

In a separate high school session, a Year 9 student—who used to avoid participating in group discussions—began sharing her ideas more openly during English analysis, backing up her points with evidence from the text.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often guessed at answers in maths started pausing to apply tips she'd learned before working through each arithmetic problem and completed an entire set of practice questions with only minimal corrections needed.

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 Geelong City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mary's School.
