Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Do you only tutor VCE General Mathematics?

While the initial primary focus and current curriculum specialisation is targeted towards  VCE General Mathematics, I am always happy to discuss tutoring support for other year levels or mathematics subjects depending on your specific needs. 

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?

Like most things, there are pros and cons to both options and it all comes down to the individual and their goals. However, when the goal is academic growth and higher grades, online tutoring is consistently just as effective (and often more efficient) than the traditional model.

Our digital workspace provides a level of clarity that a kitchen table cannot match by allowing us to solve complex problems together in real time. The effectiveness also extends beyond the session because students receive automated digital notes and recorded lessons for their revision library. This eliminates the "knowledge fade" common with handwritten notes, making their study more productive and their exam prep more targeted.

What are the practical benefits of online tutoring?

This model offers a premium alternative to the traditional tutoring commute by returning the gift of time to your household. You gain direct access to a highly skilled, VIT registered teacher anywhere in Victoria without the logistical stress of traffic, parking, or waiting in cafes. By moving away from the distractions of the kitchen table and into the student’s own dedicated workspace, we create a high performance environment that allows for a seamless transition back to their evening routine while reducing VCE burnout.

Do you offer free sessions?

I do not offer free tutoring sessions as I provide a premium service using my expertise as a VIT registered teacher. However, I offer a free 15 minute initial call for both parents and students. This is a no obligation strategy chat where we can discuss your specific VCE goals, assess your current challenges, and ensure that my "Learning From Home" model is the right fit for your needs.

How do I book my first session?

The process begins with a free 15-minute initial call to discuss your goals. Following that, I will send you a booking link to secure your preferred timeslot and complete the enrollment.

Do you provide homework for the students?

Students I work with generally have enough challenges with completing the homework set by their school, so I often focus on supporting students to master the school-assigned content and SAC preparation. However, I can provide supplementary practice questions for students in my 6 or 10 week packages who want to push ahead which can be discussed during the initial discovery call.

What happens if my child is sick?

Health comes first. Provided you give me at least 24 hours notice, we will do our best to reschedule the session to another time within the same week or find a time for the following week to ensure the student doesn't fall behind.

Do you help with CAS calculator troubleshooting?

Yes, mastering the TI-Nspire or Casio Classpad is a core part of my tutoring. I show students the most efficient shortcuts and "exam-style" techniques to save them time during assessments.

Can I change from Weekly to a Package later?

Absolutely. Many students start with a Weekly session to trial the experience and then upgrade to a 6 or 10 week package to secure a better rate and a permanent timeslot.

Do we need to buy any specific software?

No additional software is required. I provide a secure link for our sessions that works directly in any standard web browser on a laptop or tablet.

Is there a minimum commitment?

There is no long-term commitment for the Pay-As-You-Go weekly sessions. For the discounted packages, the commitment is for the duration of that specific 6 or 10 week block.

How do payments work?

All packages must be paid in full prior to our first scheduled session to secure your permanent term spot and founding rate. Once we have our free 15 minute initial call and confirm we are the right fit, I will send a professional invoice for your chosen package. This ensures all administrative details are settled upfront so we can focus entirely on your child’s learning and VCE success from day one.
