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…

The single most important aspect for a tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off. I believe…

Inside ThomsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication, the long division method, and explored factors and highest common factors through practical examples.

For Year 9, Amy practised solving linear equations and worked through probability questions using frequency tables and bar charts to build her statistics skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled calculus by revising chain rule differentiation and anti-differentiation, then applied integration techniques to find areas under curves with exam-style problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly forgot to bring her school books and calculator, which made it hard to check her class progress or work on current tasks; as one tutor observed, "needs to try to remember to bring her books and calculator home so I am able to see where she is up to in class."

In senior Maths Methods, a Year 11 student hesitated with multi-step calculus questions due to second-guessing—she often paused even when her working was correct.

During test conditions, a Year 10 student's stress led to avoidable mistakes despite strong content knowledge. This tension was clear when the clock started ticking.

Recent Achievements

Real initiative in preparing was shown by a Year 11 student who compiled all her notes into a summary sheet and confidently tackled new types of problems, something she'd hesitated to do before.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with anti-differentiation worked through tricky trigonometric integrals without making errors, even handling longer equations independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started paying close attention to tips on arithmetic and now tries out strategies unprompted, rather than waiting for help—last session, she solved all multiplication problems on her own.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tate Street Primary School Geelong.
