For Prep to Year 10 students, tutoring can reinforce the English and Maths skills that support everyday classroom learning. This may include reading comprehension, spelling, sentence construction, extended writing, number skills, fractions, algebra, geometry, problem solving and the ability to explain working clearly. Lessons should connect with what the student is learning at school while also addressing earlier gaps that may be making new work harder.
Senior students often need a different kind of support. VCE tutoring should combine subject knowledge with realistic planning for SACs, assignments, revision and examinations. A useful session does more than work through answers. It helps the student understand what a question is asking, select an appropriate method, communicate a reasoned response and learn from feedback.
Subject availability may include VCE English, General Maths, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Psychology, Business Management and Legal Studies, depending on the current tutoring team. Availability should be confirmed when a family enquires so the student can be matched with a tutor who is suited to the subject and level.
