I believe, more than anything else, that a tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and trusting…

English Tutor Bell Park, VIC
A tutor needs to analyse and understand the way a specific student learns, and cater for that. While a tutors ability to explain a problem is important, I believe the ability to explain a problem in a variety of different ways, while also showing a student that needing help with school is completely normal, is of upmost importance. I understand…

A tutor must help the student to understand the coursework, but more than that must teach the student how to think (not just what to think) and how to apply that knowledge in many…

Inside North GeelongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Phoebe worked through revision on indices, using targeted practice to prepare for an upcoming exam.

For Year 10, Jayden focused on solving quadratic equations by factorising and explored Pythagoras' Theorem and introductory trigonometry, applying both skills to worded problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amelia covered exponential growth and decay along with the basics of functions as a new topic, including work on irrational numbers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on quadratic factorisation and inverse trig sometimes skipped memorising the specific rules for each type, which made it harder to identify which method to use when new questions appeared. As one tutor noted, "She needs to memorise the different types of factorising and the rules for each."

In Year 8 algebra sessions, written work was often rushed or lacked careful layout, so sign errors crept in and were missed until feedback time.

During primary division tasks, another student would occasionally guess answers instead of showing working—leaving them less confident when faced with multi-step problems in class.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in North Geelong noticed that a Year 10 student, Phoebe, who previously struggled with indices and surds, now completes these problems confidently and no longer needs support on those topics.

In a recent high school session focused on exponential growth and decay, the same student was able to clarify misunderstandings about compound interest through targeted practice—something she had found confusing before.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student showed a real shift in attitude by focusing intently on questions throughout an entire lesson, compared to earlier sessions where staying engaged was difficult.

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 Corio Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Geelong English Language School (interim name)-North Geelong Campus.
