As I have mentioned above, every student's different capabilities and strategies to learn in their own way need to be considered before even beginning to tutor them. If a tutor teaches without having this in mind, there are chances that even after months of teaching, the student will not grasp the information as well as he/she probably could if…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is not to put more pressure on the student but make the concepts that they struggle with more easier to understand by providing examples and easier or more logical ways to approach questions. Also tutors need to make the work more fun to do (for the younger students) by having…

Inside West FootscrayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Angela focused on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and simplifying fractions using written examples.

For Year 10, Eleanor worked through regression analysis—including interpreting results on a graphing calculator—and practiced questions from Chapters 3A–C.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sydnie reviewed slopes and rates by applying linear relations to real-world problems such as speed and water flow calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often relied on a calculator for simple division (e.g., "1000/5"), which slowed progress on more complex tasks and reduced confidence in mental maths.

In Year 11 English, a student kept rewriting analysis paragraphs—even those praised by teachers—due to anxiety about finding the 'perfect' answer, rather than editing for clarity or building on strong points; as one tutor noted, "she rewrote good sentences out of self-doubt."

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student struggled to keep track of assignment dates and sometimes forgot to annotate key passages before assessments, making revision rushed and less targeted.

Recent Achievements

A West Footscray tutor recently noticed that Amelia now confidently applies concepts like regression analysis and can even explain her thinking out loud after reviewing practice problems.

In English, Eleanor used to rewrite entire drafts instead of editing, but she's begun breaking her writing into steps—first outlining, then making targeted edits—and now supports her arguments with clearer evidence.

Meanwhile, Sydnie had always been reluctant to ask for help with long division; last session she asked specific questions about the process and completed all her calculations without a calculator.

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