As a former student, I believe that a student learns best when they feel comfortable any question and not judged. As a tutor, I will ensure that the student is in a safe environment and would listen to any concerns they may have. It is important that the student leaves class with their questions answered and any concepts they found difficult,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to believe in them. When a child's role model believes in them they begin to believe in themselves and, I believe, that is the first step to accomplishing great things. If a child believes that they have the ability to do something they are more inclined to put more effort…

I believe there are a few very important things a tutor can do for a student.

Secondly, ensuring your student understands what I as the tutor have been…

Local Reviews

Ivana has been helping, and sent through some good notes and concepts for him to view.
Fiona, Warrandyte

Inside Warrandyte SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student worked on adding and multiplying fractions with different denominators, as well as converting fractions to decimals.

For Year 9, Sarah practiced simplifying expressions involving surds and rationalising denominators.

In Year 10, Daniel reviewed the discriminant to determine the number of roots for quadratics and solved quadratic equations using the quadratic formula, also practicing simplification of surds and indices.

Recent Challenges

Needs to try working independently and thinking actively instead of just waiting and copying the solutions. This slowed their confidence in tackling unfamiliar arithmetic.

In Year 11, one student relied heavily on notes during matrix operations and struggled when asked to solve without help; messy layout also made reviewing errors difficult.

A senior Methods student brought an excessive bundle of notes into revision sessions, making it hard to locate key formulas quickly—leaving them pressed for time during test planning.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Warrandyte South recently noticed a big shift for one Year 11 student who started openly acknowledging mistakes during revision, rather than feeling flustered or rushing ahead—she now stops to reflect and then applies new strategies from past lessons.

Another high school student, Sanjeev, had previously hesitated to ask questions but has begun raising his own points of confusion when tackling matrices; once explained, he quickly applies the concepts himself.

In Year 6, Tyler showed newfound independence by completing two and a half worksheets in one session without reminders or prompts.

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 Warrandyte Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Donvale Christian College - Hall Road Campus.
