Biology Tutor Ballarat East, VIC
The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

Biology Tutor Black Hill, VIC
I believe it’s important for tutors to create a supportive environments for students. This will allow them to feel comfortable and open to learning. Learning is almost impossible in an environment where students do no feel safe. I also think it’s important for tutors to give students the opportunity to share their learning to encourage active…

Local Reviews

Benjamin is a very kind and patient person and always encourages Sophia to do her best. He would email/text either myself or Sophia each week to check what topics she required assistance with at the next session so that he always came prepared. Benjamin also provided old maths papers and exam techniques throughout the term to help Sophia. Benjamin is thoughtful and considerate and is very passionate about his job, so much so that he almost always goes over time at each session without giving it a second thought.

Inside SebastopolTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Greta worked on negative number operations and expanded her skills in solving algebraic expressions, also revisiting fractions and decimals with visual aids.

Year 10 student Sam focused on trigonometry by labelling sides of right-angled triangles, writing and rearranging sin, cos, and tan ratios, and using a calculator for practice questions.

For Year 11, Ava revised the laws of exponents while simplifying equations and tackled previous test problems involving surds and set notation to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often avoided writing out working in algebra, which made it difficult to spot where sign errors crept in; as a tutor observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 11 physics, forgetting to convert units (e.g., not changing from km² to m²) led to confusion during problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student hesitated to ask for help on worded maths problems and left answers blank rather than risk being wrong. This reluctance meant her teacher missed chances to target support and left her feeling unsure after tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sebastopol noticed one high school student who had previously struggled with trigonometry now quickly identifying triangle sides and choosing whether to use sine, cosine, or tangent with minimal prompting.

Another secondary student, who used to rely heavily on guidance for algebraic equations, recently solved most problems independently and confidently applied the quadratic formula without help.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made steady progress with fractions: after frequent errors matching fractions to visuals at first, she began grouping arrays accurately and counted dots methodically for equivalents by her third exercise.

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 Sebastopol Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sebastopol Primary School.
