to identify gaps in a student's understanding of a subject and to then address it so that the student has a solid grasp on the subject, I understand mathematics very well, and so am able to explain it quite well. And I also have a lot of experience with working with children and can get them to understand things…

The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to make the student feel more confident about themselves and make school a positive experience. My strengths as a tutor are that I am very patient and diligent. I would make sure that I explain the topic the student had problems with in different ways and as many times as the student…

I think the most important thing to do as a physics tutor is to amend the teaching style for different students. Motivation was one of the things that I and many of my peers struggled with, and so, the last thing I want is for my student to not be engaged in the content. One way to do this to include connections to the student's interests. In…

Physics Tutor Baxter, VIC
The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the tools and open-mindedness to come up with various ways of potentially solving problems themselves. Giving students the breadth of knowledge to look at problems from different angles and to have the skills to tackle foreign problems based off the problems we have done together. I…

Helping their students figure out what methods of studying works for them. Everyone learns differently, and so, figuring out how an individual can learn most effectively will allow them to improve in their academics more efficiently, in a much more enjoyable way. This then allows them to ultimately become more independent. I am patient, and more…

The most important thing is to be patient and understanding with the student, helping them solve and understand their current subject problems. Furthermore it is important to help the student develop skills to be able to tackle future problems on their own. My strengths as a tutor come from the in-depth experience I have gathered in my subjects…

I believe the most important things a physics tutor can do for a student are to build confidence, provide clarity, and encourage curiosity. Building confidence is essential because students often struggle more with self-doubt than with the material itself. By being encouraging and celebrating progress, a tutor can help students trust their…

Inside SomervilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions, then worked through dividing fractions and ratios using visual models.

For Year 8, Daniel practised identifying triangles and calculating angles before moving on to review quadrilaterals and their properties.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah tackled surds and indices, then revised exponential functions ahead of her upcoming test to build confidence with these advanced algebraic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student entered the session unsure how to start factorising questions and hesitated when faced with algebra, often "mixing up what formula to use" if steps weren't clearly mapped out.

In Year 10, exam time management issues surfaced: working slowly through long-form questions meant several were left unfinished.

For a Year 4 learner, division concepts only clicked after repeated prompting; homework was rarely attempted independently, as one tutor observed, "needs more initiative to do work."

In chemistry for Year 11, over-reliance on the data book led to missed method errors—extra practice is still needed outside sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Somerville tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions is now regularly seeking clarification on tricky algebra steps, especially with simultaneous equations—a big shift from staying silent last term.

In Year 8, another student made a leap in geometry by correctly identifying angles and types of lines without prompting after weeks of confusion, even applying the number line for negative numbers independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled to complete homework now attempts times tables tasks at home unprompted and recently finished six pages of maths work almost entirely error-free.

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