It is to be able to get students to, first of all, enjoy learning their subjects. Once they love what they are learning, it is crucial to gradually improve their skills to achieve the highest outcome possible for them. I am very persistent in helping students with their struggles and friendly in my interaction with…

To provide them with skills and the confidence to apply their knowledge independently, essentially becoming the guide on the side, rather than having to lead them each step of the task/problem. - Can easily build a rapport with students, allowing them to be at ease in asking for help or further clarification of a topic - Can differentiate…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students. This way…

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…

Andrew is doing an amazing job tutoring my son Caleb. Couldn't be happier at the moment.

Inside RipplesideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eliz focused on subtraction, explored the basics of chance, solved arithmetic problems with decimals, and began learning Roman numerals using visual aids.

For Year 9, Sarah worked through quadratic equations and practised translating real-world problems into algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam deepened his understanding of parabolic graphs by finding gradients and identifying maximum and minimum points from different graph sketches.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student in maths relied on guessing when unsure, especially with division problems—"needs to take more interest to solve problems instead of guessing the answers," noted a tutor.

In Year 9 algebra, another student skipped writing steps while rearranging equations, leading to confusion about sign changes and order of operations.

For Year 11 graphing tasks, over-reliance on calculators became apparent: "more practice with evaluating graphs" was suggested because key concepts weren't being reinforced.

One primary learner's tendency to rush spelling in English resulted in repeated corrections and frustration during reading aloud.

These habits often left students double-checking work or feeling uncertain when new challenges appeared.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rippleside noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now pauses to request help whenever she's stuck, rather than just guessing and moving on.

Another win came from a Year 11 maths session where a student who struggled with the chain rule last term was able to work through problems independently after concept revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often rushed her reading assignments has started slowing down and self-correcting punctuation mistakes without prompting—she finished her latest story by fixing three of her own sentence errors.

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 Geelong West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College (Victoria) - BVNV Geelong.
