Anika B.

Hi, I'm Anika! I'm a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor currently studying a double degree in Business (majoring in Economics) and Banking and Finance at Monash University. I have a genuine passion for education and love helping students grow in confidence, develop new skills and reach their academic goals. I have experience providing one-on-one tutoring to primary school students in English and Mathematics. I offer tutoring for students in Years 1 to 6, covering areas such as reading comprehension, creative and persuasive writing, grammar, literacy, numeracy and problem-solving. I can also support students in developing the foundational skills needed for school entrance examinations. My approach to tutoring is centred around the belief that every child learns differently. I take the time to understand each student's strengths, challenges and learning goals before tailoring lessons to their individual needs. I aim to make challenging concepts easier to understand by breaking them down into manageable steps, using relatable examples and encouraging students to ask questions without hesitation. My lessons typically include a quick revision of previous topics, clear explanations of new concepts, guided practice and independent activities to reinforce understanding. I also create personalised worksheets, practice questions, revision notes and homework activities where appropriate. Rather than simply providing answers, I encourage students to think critically, develop their problem-solving abilities and become more independent learners. One of my favourite parts of tutoring is seeing a student's confidence grow over time. Whether it's finally understanding a difficult maths concept or becoming more comfortable expressing their ideas in writing, I find those little moments of progress incredibly rewarding. I strive to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and celebrating their achievements. Alongside my tutoring experience, I served as the Positive Climate for Learning Captain during Year 12, where I helped promote a supportive and inclusive learning environment within my school. This experience strengthened my leadership, communication and organisational skills and reinforced my passion for helping others succeed. I also hold a valid Victorian Working with Children Check. I currently offer online tutoring for primary school students, with flexible after-school and weekend availability. I'm generally available Monday to Thursday from 3:30 pm to 8:00 pm, Friday from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm, and Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. My rate starts at $40 per hour. I'm happy to discuss suitable lesson times and individual learning goals with parents. Outside of academics, I'm a creative person who loves cooking, baking and experimenting with new recipes. I even run my own cooking Instagram page called Cooking with Anika! I enjoy bringing that same creativity, enthusiasm and curiosity into my tutoring, finding engaging ways to make lessons both productive and enjoyable. Ultimately, my goal is to help primary school students not only improve their academic results but also develop a genuine sense of confidence in their abilities. I would love the opportunity to support your child's learning journey and help them achieve their goals!
