English Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
The single most important aspect for an english 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.…

It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

English Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
The most important thing in my opinion is helping the student understand the problem, simply completing the problem for them helps no-one. If an english tutor can do this, then the student should be able to complete any problem. Secondly, I think that it is important to treat the student as if they are an equal. Students who require tutoring…

English Tutor Wandana Heights, VIC
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is to be available for a student at times of need, to clear their doubts, especially during exams, as that is generally the time when students have the most number of doubts. Students who don't have any uncleared doubts before an exam are generally more confident, and tend to perform better…

One of the foremost things an english tutor can do for a student is to develop their interest in something which they have disliked or taken for granted. Another thing a tutor can do is to help them not only with their grades, but also with guiding them towards their goals and be a mentor that would inspire them to be the best of themselves. I…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to motivate them and make them laugh, to be a buddy who happens to be helping them with their school work, to acknowledge them with current, expand their grasp of the concepts and can be a influence in some tangible, positive way, helping them make essential connections, or…

The primary role, I believe, for a teacher is to guide students to the right direction.

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 an english tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

I believe, more than anything else, that an english 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…

As an educator the most important thing you can provide for a student are the tools and strategies that can help them to learn.

Inside Wandana HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Austin practiced ordering and comparing fractions with like denominators, then explored the meaning of ratios using unit conversions.

In Year 9, Emma tackled solving simultaneous equations through both substitution and elimination methods, working through textbook examples step by step.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jack focused on index laws—applying rules to simplify expressions—and began revision on surds for extra challenge.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, one student hesitated to start essay introductions and conclusions, sharing that "getting words down is hard" until a list of sentence starters was introduced—this blank-page anxiety slowed exam practice.

Meanwhile, in Year 9 Maths, forgetting to bring both books and calculator home made it difficult to track class progress or reinforce learning from Pythagoras lessons.

In Year 7, a reliance on mental calculation led a student to skip using the calculator for complex tasks; as noted, "she doesn't have to do all maths in her head," but this habit caused confusion with longer problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Wandana Heights noticed one Year 11 student who used to hesitate with tricky algebra questions now actively asks for harder problems and works through them with minimal guidance.

In Year 8, another student—who previously struggled to plan English text responses—completed a full introduction, conclusion, and body outline independently for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner surprised her tutor by tackling complex fraction addition with far greater accuracy than before; she even explained her steps aloud after having trouble verbalising her process last term.

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