The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to be honest, collaborate in their learning journey, and give them learning strategies. Students benefit from having a tutor they trust who is honest with them on their current strengths and weaknesses and who also inspires confidence that the weaknesses can be overcome.…

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…

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…

Guidance. It's always guidance. Tutors facilitate learning and help activates students' potential. :) Tutors receive all the questions most of the students don't ask in class, and I find it amazing because real learning happens between tutors and students. I already know how to handle them and I can give excellent activities that they can enjoy…

We are extremely satisfied with Michelle. In a short time we have seen the improvements with our sons maths performance. Michelle easily engages with our son, understands the areas of improvements and works on developing methods that allow my son to follow and improve his grades. Would recommend!

Inside WendoureeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Greta worked on algebraic substitution using tables and practiced expanding expressions, as well as solving both simple and more complex equations in preparation for an upcoming test.

Year 10 student Ella focused on trigonometry, applying SOH CAH TOA alongside the sine and cosine rules to solve triangle problems with calculator support.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Aidan revised a recent assessment by simplifying exponents and solving equations, ensuring confidence with core index laws and equation techniques.

Recent Challenges

There is a serious level of misunderstanding of how induction and negated statements work, which meant key proof steps were left incomplete.

He skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

Reluctant to write out her reasoning in worded maths problems; instead, she would guess or leave questions blank, making it hard for teachers to pinpoint misunderstandings.

During poetry analysis in Year 7 English, forgetting literary terms made essay writing slower and less confident.

Recent Achievements

A Wendouree tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to need lots of prompting with induction proofs now confidently sets up the base case and identifies statements independently.

In Year 8 maths, one student struggled with exponent laws when they were introduced but can now solve equations in unfamiliar formats, asking for clarification only on rare steps.

Meanwhile, during primary sessions, a younger student who would get stuck finding fractions of arrays (like confusing how many to shade for 1/5 of 10) has begun grouping and counting methodically—on her third try she solved these almost entirely without errors.

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 Wendouree Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ballarat Grammar.
