Chemistry Tutor Gladstone Park, VIC
Every student is special and expecting same response from every student is really not good . The velocity with which the child,s brain works is really different from kid to kid so the explanation from a tutor side has to be made again and again without thinking of his time till a sense of satisfaction is achieved from every student As a tutor, i…

One of the most important things that a tutor can do is actually get to know the student as well as their learning style in order to be able to make a real impact on the student's learning. Another key thing that a tutor can do identify the areas that the student needs extra help in in order to focus on these which could involve asking a few…

I find that addressing the finer parts that students find more challenging is essential for a tutor. While students may have already covered the concepts in class, the learning process is often not tailored to their individual needs. A tutors role is to adopt a more personalised approach, taking the time to understand each student’s unique level…

Certainly building self-confidence in a student! It is the key to furthering skills and this can be highly motivating for a student. As a student who recently completed VCE, I found having a tutor built my confidence by exposing me to what was coming in my VCE subjects and therefore making me comfortable with the key concepts and theory. This can…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show them their worth, learning-wise. There are so many people who convince themselves that they are incapable of obtaining good marks, setting them up for instant failure. A good tutor is one who can identify strengths as well as weaknesses, and rather than use the…

One of the most important skills for a tutor is to be able to word and explain concepts in a multitude of ways, rather than having one single explanation.

Everybody learns differently, and trying to apply the same approach to everyone is going to leave students struggling and frustrated.

A tutor has the power to change the way student studies if going to the wrong direction. By dealing with a student as a friend a tutor can enhance and refine his performance.

Inside JacanaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mary worked on adding fractions with different denominators and tackled factors and multiples, finishing a tricky homework sheet together.

Year 8 student Bill focused on reducing fractions through targeted practice and discussed division in relation to multiplication, using examples from recent lessons.

For Year 9, Alex revised multiplying and dividing negative numbers, including a spelling test and vocabulary worksheet for literacy reinforcement within the session.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left English essays incomplete for homework, particularly after receiving a disappointing mark; as noted, "he seemed distressed and avoided starting the next essay," which led to missed opportunities for feedback and improvement.

In Year 7 Maths, another student consistently forgot to complete assigned revision sheets before a fractions test—this meant class time was spent on catch-up rather than tackling new material.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student preferred to attempt only familiar problems in algebra revision, shying away from more challenging questions and limiting exposure to essential concepts needed for exam readiness.

Recent Achievements

One Jacana tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking for help—now, he openly voices questions when stuck on essay planning and even suggests what he'd like to review next.

A high schooler tackling long division had previously needed lots of guidance but can now finish complex worded problems independently after practicing with homework.

In a primary session, a Year 4 student who once got frustrated by spelling mistakes now takes them in stride and finishes tests with far fewer corrections, even celebrating when he spelled most tricky words right.

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 Hume Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College (Victoria) - Basketball Broadmeadows.
