Melbourne Maths Tutors

Do you need a math tutor in Melbourne or surrounding suburbs? Look no further. We come to you for professional, in home, private mathematics education for your child. We are also now taking bookings for small VCE Exam Preparation and Study Skills lessons for VCE Mathematics students. Our qualified, accredited and experienced private instructors are ready to help your child increase their skills, knowledge and understanding in all maths topics within the Victorian Curriculum and Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), in the comfort of your own home. We acknowledge that most students cannot drive and it may be inconvenient for parents to drive students to and from tuition sessions. We also feel that parents will feel more comfortable being present during our sessions in their home. Our high school tutors are available to assist students in all secondary levels and we can also provide assistance for students in grades five and six.

As the demands of school and life increase, and the Victorian curriculum becomes more and more jam packed, some students become overwhelmed by the pace and content of many lessons. It often feels like you are not given the time, or support you need, to complete your understanding of certain topics or subjects.

Mathematics is a really tough subject for many students in Melbourne and they often need help with their homework and classwork. Once you fall behind or lose motivation, it can be really hard to get back to your desired level of mathematical understanding and achieve successful results. There are many topics, some which intertwine and many which confuse. Though maths teachers try their best to explain concepts, provide examples and run activities, time constraints constantly force them to move on before much of the class is ready. If your child is one of the members of the class who feels like they are being left behind or aren’t getting the results they desire, you may need to find a maths tutor to help them gain confidence and keep up with the class.

“As a maths teacher in Melbourne, I find that many of my students need practical, hands on experiences to truly cement their knowledge and understanding. Others just need more time and practice questions. However, we are limited by the loaded curriculum, and are therefore forced to rush through topic after topic, never truly reaching the desired level of understanding for most students” - Amy (maths teacher and tutor)
​
This is why many students seek additional support from a private Maths tutor. The power of a one-on-one lesson cannot be underestimated. Tutors can provide direct, targeted and intensive teaching to individuals. We are able to pin-point misconceptions and misunderstandings of students as we work through lessons and tasks. We ask probing questions, have students explain their thought processes and break tasks into manageable components.

Student Tutors
Student tutors are currently studying in a higher education or senior high school setting. Student tutors are generally suitable to assist younger students including primary school students in grade 5 and grade 6 with their tutoring needs. They have recently studied similar, if not the same subjects and topics as your child, and therefore have a well-rounded knowledge and understanding of the subject matter.

Education Student Tutors
As above, these tutors are studying in a higher education setting. However, the advantage that these students have, is that they are studying to become teachers. They are learning a variety of techniques specifically aimed at helping students in years 7 - 10 improve skills, knowledge and understandings in their chosen subject areas. Most Education students have also recently completed VCE, implying that their curriculum knowledge is comprehensive. 

Qualified Teachers Specialising in the General Subject Area
These local maths tutors have completed their undergraduate training and are qualified teachers. They have undertaken extensive teacher training and have completed multiple teaching placements in schools, implementing several maths lessons at many levels, including year 11 and 12 general maths, maths methods and further maths. Many are employed within the government or private school systems and/or have experience teaching in schools. Within their training, they complete discipline study, as well as education subjects, specific to their teaching methods. For example, a maths and science teacher would have completed maths, general science, and specific science subjects (ie. Chemistry, Physics etc). In addition, they would have also completed study pertaining to implementing the education of these disciplines in schools.
​
Qualified Teachers specialising in the exact subject area requested
As above, these tutors have completed their Bachelor of Education, including teaching practicum and higher education training. They have experience teaching in schools within their teaching methods. So what makes these teachers stand out? They have had experience teaching the exact subject with which you require help. For example, if you are after someone to assist you develop your understanding of VCE Further maths content, a teacher who has taught, or is currently teaching Further maths would be considered a specialist. We use specialist teachers to run our VCE group sessions.

PRIVATE, ONE-ON-ONE, MATHS HOME TUITION. 

As we become familiar with students’ interests and strengths, we are able to link explanations to familiar scenarios and create tasks which tune in to their interests. We have time for practical investigations, and to help students’ summarise their understandings in their own words using various strategies. This helps students achieve a deeper level of understanding of mathematics, whilst also informing our future teaching.

We aim to establish long term student-teacher partnerships who meet regularly at a mutually convenient time and location in Melbourne. This is important for both the tutor and the student. Consistency is a really important aspect of our profession. Seeing a teacher regularly will improve your chances of continued success in the subject(s) you require assistance with.

​The tutor will become familiar with your learning styles, interests and strengths. As they develop this knowledge, they will be able to provide more targeted, specific lessons which will allow your child to reach their academic potential. This is also important for our tutors, as they will be able to form a working routine and expect consistent income.
