English Tutor Capel Sound, VIC
Adapting to a students learning style. Each student learns differently and to be able to teach the same content in different ways is definitely important. Also connecting with the student, ensuring they feel confident and connected to make mistakes and ask questions. My strengths are definitely the fact that I’m a teacher, I have experience,…

English Tutor Safety Beach, VIC
The most important aspect in my opinion is carefully listening to the student's struggles to carefully cater for their actual requirements. Also, recognising the best ways in which they gain and retain knowledge is important. My friendly personality and careful listening abilities are my key strengths when teaching another person. Additionally,…

English Tutor Dromana, VIC
A tutor should listen to students and always clearly explain anything, and check to see if the student understands. A tutor should also celebrate successes with the student, or support them if they are disappointed with results and reassure them that they can improve. I am an excellent listener and communicator, so would have no trouble…

Inside Main RidgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Damir focused on number identification and basic addition and subtraction, also exploring shape identification through hands-on activities.

In Year 7, Willow practised solving algebraic equations and worked through more complex fractions operations, using step-by-step problem breakdowns.

For Year 8, Mira developed her understanding of place value and the order of operations by tackling mixed numerical expressions with guided examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, one student often avoided writing out their working for algebra and fractions, preferring to solve problems in their head. As a tutor noted, "he talks aloud well but loses track of his own thoughts," leading to errors and missed simplifications.

In Year 4, another student regularly left homework incomplete; this meant fewer chances to build confidence with multiplication and division.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student showed reluctance to attempt unfamiliar graphing tasks unless given physical tools—hesitation here slowed progress when faced with conventionally formatted worksheets during assessment time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Main Ridge recently saw Willow, a Year 8 student, start working through complicated algebra and percentage questions entirely in her head—a big leap from when she'd rely on step-by-step guidance.

Riley, also in high school, now interprets mathematical notation and solves equations with far greater independence; he used to hesitate at multi-step problems but recently completed linear graphing tasks without prompting.

Meanwhile, Gracie (Year 6) followed multi-stage instructions for perimeter and area tasks and managed to resolve tricky addition and subtraction questions after struggling with place value last term.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Red Hill Consolidated School.
