Tutors in Lake Wendouree include a qualified primary teacher with international classroom expertise, a secondary education double-degree student and learning support worker, a maths tutor with six years' experience, an ANU-educated science mentor (ATAR 97.8), school subject duxes, peer mentors, sports coaches, and accomplished youth leaders—offering impressive academic credentials and proven dedication to supporting young learners.
Great tutor, I was able to learn a lot of things especially in maths. He also provided some support with general learning skills and provided a chance for me to shine in my homework provided by school.Boswen
Year 8 student Greta revised negative numbers, focusing on addition and subtraction with number lines, and worked on like terms in algebraic expressions.
Year 10 student Sam concentrated on trigonometry concepts including SOH CAH TOA, sine rule, and cosine rule, using diagrams to visualise triangle problems.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ava tackled a previous test covering the simplification and rationalising of surds as well as elementary set theory and simplifying linear expressions with non-numeral coefficients.
In Year 11, skipping written steps in algebra and induction proofs ("he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors") meant time was spent tracking mistakes instead of learning new material.
A Year 8 student struggled to organize fraction work—relying heavily on visual diagrams for simple denominators, but accuracy dropped when tasks required more abstract reasoning or larger numbers.
In Year 4, rushing to answer subtraction questions led to swapping addition for subtraction; the hesitation to write out working made it harder to catch and fix these slips.
When answers weren't double-checked, confidence dipped after small errors.
A Lake Wendouree tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who previously struggled with exponent laws start solving non-standard equations independently, showing real flexibility in their approach.
In a Year 12 session, another student, who had often hesitated to attempt multi-step probability problems, confidently used tables and arrangements to solve intersection events without prompting.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once guessed at equivalent fractions now uses dot arrays to check her answers and groups objects methodically—a big shift from her earlier trial-and-error approach. Last week, she finished all the array exercises with only one minor mistake.
