To encourage them to keep going and not give up, because it can get really upsetting to the student if they can't understand a specific thing after some time spent on it. It's important to reassure them that the progress they've made so far has been good and worthwhile, and that everyone's learning paces are different. Most importantly, it's…

Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content. Subjects can be tough, as a tutor, I need to find ways to convey the same subject in an easier, convenient way to understand it.…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I believe that in order for anyone to understand the material being taught - the tutor must begin with the fundamentals and basics; breaking down the information and then ensuring the student is able to explain it back is what I believe works best. This requires patience, which I believe is an essential quality a tutor must maintain in order for…

As a tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with one-on-one…

Local Reviews

My 10 year old daughter has been working with Zeel this year. She didn't know her times tables at all. After tutoring sessions, she now can write her times tables, and recite most of them. She has developed confidence in her approach to Maths, and her school teachers have noticed a definite improvement. Zeel has been a great fit for Holly, and responds well to her teaching.
Vanessa Hughes, Golden Grove

Inside Golden GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Michael worked through fraction multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, then practiced factorising algebraic expressions using guided examples.

For Year 9, Sienna focused on expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions as well as division and multiplication operations in algebra.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Chloe revised the area of trapeziums and parallelograms, along with identifying types of triangles and finding unknown angles using diagrams to support her understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing for algebraic pattern questions sometimes hesitated to write down working, doubting correct steps even when on track. "He second-guessed himself despite getting the right answer," a tutor noted—this slowed progress and eroded confidence during revision.

In Year 7, messy written work in geometry made it hard to trace reasoning, with layout issues causing confusion about which angles were being calculated.

Meanwhile, a senior biology student forgot key materials for a homeostasis mock test, leading to incomplete practice and missed feedback opportunities that could have clarified misunderstandings before assessment day.

Recent Achievements

One Golden Grove tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate during physics revision is now managing her study time much more efficiently and recently received a grade she was genuinely proud of.

Another high school learner, previously shy about asking questions, now openly seeks clarification during sessions and checks her answers independently while tackling more homework on her own initiative.

In primary, a younger student who struggled with reading aloud has started self-correcting spelling mistakes and read the next chapter of "The Faraway Tree" out loud without prompting.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Golden Grove High School.
