I believe that the most important trait a tutor must have is to be flexible. Different students have different ways they use to understand things. A tutor must cater to those needs to ensure that they can help their students to the best of their abilities. The way I tutor students is by helping them break down problems into smaller, more…

Tutors need to assess, analyse and appraise. Because not every student learns the same way or comes from the same background of experience and understanding it is vital that a tutor establishes their student’s position before commencing with any tutoring. Whether they administer examination, discussion or assessment a tutor should gather…

I feel a tutor's main job lies in developing and nurturing to a very good extent the foundational concepts. Especially for mathematics, the foundation is essential for understanding more complex topics later on in VCE mathematics. I also believe a tutor should be able to approach questions differently depending on the students level of knowledge.…

Listening to the student. As a tutor, I have limited time with each student, so I believe it is important to prioritise listening to what they need from me rather than simply pushing ahead with the material. By responding to their questions, concerns and areas of difficulty, I can tailor our sessions to what will be most valuable for them. Working…

My strongest strengths as a…

Local Reviews

Thanh has increased my daughter's confidence in her maths ability. She has a no nonsense but fun approach that keeps a teenager positive about continuing tutoring. My daughter likes that Thanh has different methods of teaching concepts that make more sense to her. And best of all she is positive about my daughters progress.

Inside Glen WaverleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Kye worked on long multiplication with two- and three-digit numbers (including zeroes) and was introduced to division using visual strategies.

Year 7 student Elle focused on probability concepts, tackling practice questions involving multiple events and converting fractions to decimals as part of test preparation.

For Year 8, revision for Kye included rearranging algebraic equations and reviewing fundamental skills in bracket multiplication, helping consolidate methods for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to bring past tests for review, which meant missed chances to clarify recurring mistakes—"he couldn't check which algebra steps were lost in the test."

In Year 8 maths, forgetting to attempt set homework limited practice with foundational topics like BEDMAS and basic equations.

One Year 6 student often tried questions in their head without showing working; this hid errors when tackling area problems.

Across both junior and senior years, not recording confusing questions during school videos led to gaps that lingered into lessons.

Without these process tweaks, confusion quietly accumulates between sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Glen Waverley tutor noticed some great changes lately. Kye, a high school student, recently brought home his data test with 93%—a big leap after earlier trouble remembering statistics concepts, and he now checks his notes to solve new problems without prompting.

Elle, also in high school, picked up algebraic angle questions much faster than before; she's started explaining her working out aloud rather than guessing quietly.

Meanwhile, Trishelle (primary) has begun completing all her homework each week on her own initiative and points out exactly which maths areas still worry her before starting new tasks.

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 Glen Waverley Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glen Waverley Secondary College.
