Tutor Gardenvale, VIC
In my opinion the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build a longer term work practice to allow the student to be successful without tuition in the future. This requires building confidence, breaking down problems, setting goals, and effectively managing time. I build working relationships with students very effectively, and…

I believe that the most important things which a tutor can do for a student are these: to stress the need for forward planning and for regular timetables; to encourage where necessary; to break down large tasks into manageable portions; and to clarify hitherto obscure matters. I think that my strengths as a tutor are these: I've shown that I can…

As a tutor, I am able to…

The most important thing a tutor does for a student is helping them become more confident, so that they have faith in their own abilities and performance. This starts by simplifying the content and explaining it in a way that the student can understand, then building this up so they can face the hardest of questions. It is about equipping them…

A tutor can be more than a person that just helps with a particular subject. They should be willing to change their way of thinking for each student that they teach and know that patience is the key to help students reach their ultimate goal. They should act as a role model and be able to give feedback on how to cope with the pressures of school…

Listen carefully to how they think about the subject - what is it that they struggle with? Why do they like/not like the subject? What do they understand and what exactly do they need assitance with?

I think that as a tutor, it is important to not take the "one fits all" approach for lessons. Rather, it is important for tutors to be flexible, as the way in which students learn best varies widely. A good tutor can pick up on the learning style of their students, and subsequently adapt their lessons to ensure maximum growth and improvement. As a…

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.
