Resilience after drawbacks. A good tutor should not only provide one or two solutions limited to a single issue, but also help students establish confidence and motivation, and achieve their goals through dedicated efforts. Being able to explain contents in various ways and relate concepts to tangible life experiences; being able to put myself on…

I think it is very important to ask the student if they’re still attentive and understanding after every while of teaching. This is because of the student have lost concentration, they will not be able to learn anything and the lesson will be effectively useless. Thus it is important to sometimes insert some humour or times to stretch to regain…

A tutor should do more than simply teach a subject for a student. A tutor is an individual that can encourage others to act at their best, this can be in the academic field but can extend to other aspects of life as well. A tutor's most important goal should always be understanding, and if possible, relating to the circumstances of each of their…

As a former student, I believe that a student learns best when they feel comfortable any question and not judged. As a tutor, I will ensure that the student is in a safe environment and would listen to any concerns they may have. It is important that the student leaves class with their questions answered and any concepts they found difficult,…

I believe one of the most vital things that tutors can do is alter their teaching type based on different students' abilities and progression over time. I think this helps differentiate tutoring from normal schooling as normal schooling is generalised for all students and doesn't cater for individual students' strengths and weaknesses. I believe…

Inside NunawadingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Zoe worked on advanced index laws and tackled worded questions involving indices, as well as practising complex linear equations with rearranging and problem solving.

Year 8 Abeeha focused on mastering perimeters and areas of composite shapes, learning new area formulas for rectangles and triangles, plus converting between square and cubic units.

Meanwhile, Year 4 Jacob strengthened his addition and subtraction skills using a variety of hands-on activities like mathematical mazes and matching games to boost confidence with double-digit numbers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 maths student frequently skipped writing out working for worded problems, making it harder to catch counting errors and visualize solutions; as noted, "needs to work on writing out the working out more."

In Year 10 science, difficulty recalling terms like "aorta" stemmed from not keeping organized vocabulary lists, which led to hesitancy during labelling tasks.

A senior student tackling exam-style extended-response questions in maths relied heavily on referring back to notes instead of attempting recall first—this slowed progress and limited retention.

These habits left students retracing steps or second-guessing answers instead of building confidence through independent practice.

Recent Achievements

In Year 8 maths, Zoe moved from hesitating with linear equations to completing every fluency question on her revision sheet ahead of a test, showing far more independence than before.

Meanwhile, Kaylee (Year 10) demonstrated a new ability to use her calculator strategically during algebraic problems and integrated various tones into argumentative writing—something she hadn't attempted previously.

On the primary side, Jacob now works out multi-digit addition by carefully lining up his numbers on paper instead of guessing, and he completed all regrouping addition questions correctly this week.

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 Nunawading Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Nunawading Christian College - Primary.
