Tutor St Kilda East, VIC
There are two main things that a tutor should aim to provide for a student: 1. Confidence/Self esteem - Students can't learn if they feel bad about themselves or their ability to learn (learn maths specifically in this case) Any teacher of a student, needs to praise a students effort as being inherently valuable as well as praising any…

Tutor Prahran, VIC
I believe the most important thing a tutor brings is 1 to 1 guidance. A good tutor can work with the student and guide them to achieve their individual goals, and can adjust their methods and pace as necessary, unlike in a class at school where the pace of teaching is same for everyone. I have a strong grasp of the sciences and English, and I…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is create an open and comfortable environment for their students. I believe that if a student isn't afraid to make mistakes or ask questions, they can become more confident, approach problems independently, and find better enjoyment in doing the work that they might originally find dull and tedious.…

The most important thing a tutor can do is ensure that a student does not hate the subject they require tutoring in.

I ensure that someone works to their full potential and if…

In my perspective, providing confidence is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. The majority of people would hire a tutor is because of one's unsatisfactory performance towards the subject. Confidence would increase the understanding process for most of the people. Furthermore, to excel in the subject, the student has to work…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to like a teacher equip students with the ability and tools to approach the problem. Rather than rote learning, giving students the tools allows them to approach problems that they may not have seen as well as that which they had prepared for.

Building the student's confidence is, in my opinion, the most crucial thing I must do as a tutor.

In my opinion, as a tutor, I must gradually boost pupils' self-assurance in their…

Local Reviews

Jenny is an excellent tutor. She was incredibly patient with Zoe and a really good teacher. Zoe was really happy and confident working with her and felt safe to ask questions and sometimes because of her illness she could not really concentrate but Jenny stayed patient and really worked well with her. I highly recommend Jenny.

Inside MalvernTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Dishita focused on normal distribution and the 68-95-99.7 rule using past exam questions, as well as in-depth work on time series analysis and deseasonalisation techniques from VCAA practice exams.

Year 11 student Bianca tackled tricky measurement and geometry problems, including surface area and volume of complex shapes, while also consolidating understanding of bearings with targeted homework from recent chapters.

For Year 3 student Ari, sessions concentrated on multiplication facts through card games and hands-on division activities, along with visual strategies for solving fraction problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly avoided highlighting or writing out key information in data analysis and regression exam questions, which led to confusion about what was actually being asked. As one tutor noted, "she needs to highlight the key points in the question to guide her understanding." This meant she often had to reread questions multiple times, losing valuable time and sometimes missing marks for incomplete answers.

In Year 3 mathematics, a student's messy note-taking made it difficult to spot calculation errors in subtraction problems; attempts to improve layout during lessons helped but were not consistently carried into homework.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Malvern recently noticed Dishita, a senior student, applying the 'talk-aloud' strategy to break down complex normal distribution problems—something she previously found overwhelming. She now highlights key points and selects relevant formulas independently when tackling exam-style questions.

Rose, in upper primary, had been struggling with long division steps; after working through a step-by-step method together, she can now solve these problems on her own with just the occasional slip.

Meanwhile, Ari in Year 3 has shifted from needing frequent breaks during number tasks to persisting through challenging multiplication problems using mental strategies before reaching for visual aids.

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 Malvern Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's School.
