VCE Further Maths Tutoring Classes

Our intensive VCE Further Maths Exam Preparation and Study Skills sessions in Melbourne aim to promote a deep level of understanding of some of the more difficult concepts in the Further Mathematics curriculum. 

All Further Maths group tuition classes are run by qualified, experienced, accredited, specialist teachers, who have expert knowledge of the subject matter, common misconceptions and SAC and exam emphases on each concept.

As a teacher of Further Maths, I had so many great ideas for teaching different concepts, revision techniques and exam preparation. However, many of these ideas could never be put into practice due to time constraints. Class time was spent teaching and learning new concepts and skills.  I never really had time to explain concepts in as much detail as possible and give students opportunities to develop in depth understandings, let alone run focused lessons on misconceptions, revision techniques and exam strategies. I can only imagine the outcome of an additional 1.5 hours weekly with each of my classes, let alone having classes half the size.

Private home tuition, exam preparation or both?
To maximize potential and results, I recommend one session of group tutoring and one session of private tutoring for VCE students. However, individual suitability and preference may vary. 

Exam Preparation and Study Skills- Group Tutoring Sessions
I recommend group sessions for students who are keeping pace with the course work and achieving satisfactory results. However, you feel that they have the potential to improve their results through an additional, more rigorous program. Maths group Tuition classes in Melbourne target a range of general concepts, misconceptions and techniques. Students are already proficient in the fundamental skills, but are aiming to deepen their understanding and learn the application of these skills within assessments.

I find that these general ideas are more effectively targeted through group sessions, as students have the opportunity to gain insight from each others questions and explanations. The formal structure allows students to spend the whole session working on the target concept, technique or idea in depth. As there is not a tutor watching every move they make, students have more of an opportunity to make and correct their own mistakes, as well as work through questions independently, discovering their preferred technique. They also learn to develop their repertoire of strategies and problem solving skills. With a private tutor, mistakes are likely to be corrected as soon as they are made, giving students unrealistic confidence in their ability. However, assistance is still readily available due to very small class sizes.

Private Tuition
If your child is falling behind with the classwork, has very low confidence in Maths, is achieving below average results on assessments, and is generally doubting their ability, a private Further Maths tutor Melbourne is definitely the preferred option. As the group sessions are aimed at deepening understanding of the fundamentals and extending existing ideas, they may feel even more overwhelmed after attending an exam preparation and study skills session in Melbourne.  

We break down, analyse and map out many ideas to assist students in achieving their desired deep level of understanding.
Our teachers focus on the following key areas:
Exam preparation- We will use past VCAA exams and other practice exams to provide examples and work through relevant concepts. We use data from examiners reports to target misconceptions and establish accurate working and understanding.

Study techniques- We will work through various summarising and self-analysis techniques. Students will learn how to turn a difficult question type, into one they can tackle with ease. Students learn how to use tables, mind maps and glossaries, amongst other practices, to link and group ideas.

Common misconceptions- Having taught Further Maths for many years, our tutors have marked hundreds of SAC’s and exams. We know where the majority of students are lacking in their skills and knowledge and how we can assist them in correcting and deepening their understanding.

Reference book structure and content- Do you know the real purpose of your reference book? The practice of writing, structuring and organising your reference book is giving you rich learning opportunities, even if you never use it during SAC’s and exams.
​
Understanding difficult concepts- We have prepared lessons on focussed, difficult concepts. We understand that your classroom teacher is forced to move on with content in order to complete the coursework and all related assessment prior to exams. Many concepts are not presented in enough detail, with not nearly enough examples or practice opportunities. In our sessions, we spend time explaining difficult concepts in depth, with detailed explanations, examples and practice questions.

Tuition classes will run for one and a half hours per session on a weekly basis during the school term. We will also offer an intensive program from term 3 school holidays until year 12 VCE Further Mathematics exam dates.

In the first 45 minutes to one hour of each session, the targeted lecture style lesson will be presented. Lessons will focus on misconceptions, difficult concepts, study skills, exam techniques, and other essential skills. The final half hour to 45 minutes of the lesson will be used to help individual students with their questions. Whether they require assistance with the current content, school work or the previous sessions homework, support will be available. 

Each group will consist of 8-12 students. We will endeavour to group students according to specific modules studied in their school, as well as the type of CAS calculator used. Notes and homework will be provided as well as emailed after each session. Students will be required to bring their CAS calculators, pens and paper.
