The most important thing that a tutor can do for the students is helping them improve their academics and achieve the highest goal in their ability. For example, once students feel doubting about the topic they have studied at school, the tutor should explain where the students have not understood and make sure to move on once they understand…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is care about them.

If a tutor stops caring about their…

Be supportive whilst you're teaching them, in terms of chatting to the student and making sure they're comfortable enough to tell you all parts of the problem that they're struggling with. If a tutor doesn't make the student feel comfortable and supported then they are less likely to get the most out of the tutoring. I am punctual and reliable so…

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.
